I need to get a new mobile phone so I can pass my old one on to [livejournal.com profile] lilithmagna. Now my contract has expired, I'd like to move to a really cheap contract since I'm not a heavy phone user, which may mean moving away from Orange. But of course there are lots of options at the cheap end, and I might consider paying a little extra in order to get Internetty goodness.

T-Mobile's cheapest contract (Flext 20 18+ Months) has a number of free-with-contract phones with HSDPA (3G broadband for laptops); right now I'm looking at getting a Nokia 6120c. With itemized billing that contract is £16.50/month; internet costs £1 each day that you use it and has a 1GB/month cap.

Is that the right deal? What else should I be considering? Thanks!

Update: The technical specs for the 6120c indicate that it does not have the Bluetooth DUN Profile or the Bluetooth PAN profile - am I right in thinking that means I can't use this phone to get my laptop online? If so, how shite is that on a scale from 10 to loads?

It's all a mystery to me

I would be the last person on earth to be able to help you, I'm so incredibly out of it with these kinds of things. Supposedly my phone has Bluetooth but I don't know what that means. And there are probably lots of other features it has I don't even know about. Sometimes I think it's like having a magic relic, like a sword or something, that every now and then does something like "glow blue to indicate Orcs" or "leap out of its scabbard to protect you from poison."
