Iphone/Blackerry Curve or N95 what should I get?

Hi

Currently I have an iphone with an O2 sim only contract. I also have an old T-Mobile SDA on contract. The T-Mobile contract expires on the 20th of November and I am just not sure what to do.

1) I could get an Iphone on contract from O2 on the 9th. I know that my unlocked Iphone will get bricked by apple at some point so would be happier with one that I have bought direct from O2. However I am not sure that I want to pay £269 + £35 x 18 (Total £899) and only get 200 mins and 200 text

2) I today was in my local O2 store and I like the Blackberry Curve 8300 but I would not use it for email and as I don’t use my phone for work is it mad to get a blackberry? I like my SDA so a business sort of phone is always a bit of fun for me. I would use it to text surf the nett and calls. I was a bit surprised that the Blackberry was smaller than the N95. This would be £19 for the phone and £35 x 12 so total £439 with 400 mins and 1000 text so I think a better deal.


3) Get a N95 on T-mobile £69 for the phone and £25 x 18 total £519 with £90 of credit per month (flex).

4) A N95 8GB on Vodafone 18 month contract at £25x3+£50x15=£825 400 mins and a 1000 text.


Any thoughts? I am just thinking that I could go for a cheaper contract than the lowest iphone deal and buy a ipod touch and still have a better deal.

Don't forget that data is included with the iPhone and I am not certain with the tariff you've quoted for the other phones...To me it would be pointless getting any of those phones without a data contract as otherwise there are much better/cheaper/longer battery life solutions, a free plus free contract Nokia 6300 springs to mind...Like my wife has got...
