iPhone 3G "upgrade".....

Coming towards the end of the iPhone contract, and not after a 3GS or alike. I like the usability of the iPhone, but poor voice quality, battery life and tariff cost are not good.

I have looked at something like a Nokia E61 on 3 (£18 for internet texter plan), but not entirely convinced. Maybe more so by a E71.

Features I am after in plan and phone:

<£20 p/m
Around300 text, 200 mins p/m
Free/inclusive email/internet

No brand loyalty, but prefer Nokia/SE style menus, nothing showy and unnecessary like the newer LG menu rubbish. Touchscreen not a requirement.
GMail support through dedicated program (like on the iPhone)
Semi decent camera, about 3.2 to 5 MP camera with video capture
Music playback through 3.5m jack
GPS and maps (turn by turn NOT needed but nice)
Good/excellent battery life
Reasonable browsing support (doesnt have to have support level of Safari), Flash NOT needed.

Appreciate its fairly specific, but its more annoying knowing what I want, but not being able to find it!

Any help gratefully received.
