Best contract and accessories...................

Ok, now I have been put out of (or into) my misery with the knowledge that there is to be no 32gb iphone released (for the moment ) I will now buy a new 16gb 3g iphone and so what do you think are the best:

Contract - what do I need - I have £45 a month to spend and want to be able to use internet for email, etc - rarely send texts.

Chargers - preferably via a normal 3 pin plug?

Skins - is it invisi shield or is there a clearer one?

Cases - do I need one with a skin (I am prone to dropping ) but don't want much increase in bulk- its big enough as it is!

Car holders/chargers - do I need one?

Apologies for the number of questions but I reckon you are the guys who know all the answers

Well on the note about the screen protectors , i bought the zagg invisible shield, put the back on fine, went to put the front on and once it was on i noticed dirt under the shield, tried to remove the dirt but no luck, £15 down the drain, but on the bright side the back works great and theres no scratches, so dont get it dirty at all before putting it on and you should be fine, Id highyl reccommened the back cover! Just need to buy a new front one now....

If you do the maths in the long run it comes cheaper to buy the handset from O2 as a PAYG and get a simplicity simcard on £20 per month which will give you 600mins+500txts+free internet. I am selling a handset on ebay at the moment, which I only used for 2 weeks. Then I got a work iphone so this is for sale...looking for £380

Chargers - preferably via a normal 3 pin plug?

in the box there is a charger, it uses the usb iphone cable which makes it handy if you want to charge it on the PC or if you have a usb cig lighter for the car

Skins - is it invisi shield or is there a clearer one?
Cases - do I need one with a skin (I am prone to dropping ) but don't want much increase in bulk- its big enough as it is!

there is a plethora out there and if you search the forums you'll find reviews/opinions. The screen just needs a film protector and then the case is really for the back of the handset.

Car holders/chargers - do I need one?
for the car I always use Brodit stuff! To me their quality is simply the best!! No need for a charger as said above
