Question Which mobile should I get?

I've always had a company mobile but I'm leaving on Friday and will need to get a mobile phone of my own. I would like one with a camera but that is about my only requirement.
Any advise on what to get, where to buy?
Also, what are your opinions on pay-as-you-go vs contract?

Had contract phone off them - good intro deal they not interested in upgrade - but after period vodaphone were happy to do and even better deal so might be worth starting with dial a phone just log on to their site - not the top specs now but samsung d500 cool looking phone no complaints - might be tewaking camera on it soon worth a look?

Just bought the Motorola Razr v 3 off ebay....... Love the BIG screen and the slimness of it . I'm running it on PAYG, it cost me £155 so I'm a happy bunny.

Did not see second part of Q - just work out your usage - my Vodafone d500 - any network any time 200 mins permnth with roll over plus 25 text package £50 for phone + £18 per mnth! If you go new contract they will give you so many mnths at so much with credits back etc just work it out. For me with PAYG big up front payment and my lowish usage contract was way for me. Don`t overlook dial a phone

Nokia 8800. Had one for a couple of months and still really liking it whereas I'd usually be bored of it by now.

By far the sexiest looking phone on the market and pretty well specced too. Not the best camera but very serviceable and a SUPERB screen. Good battery life too. Added to amazing build quality, MP3 tones and a charger-stand which is as sexy as the phone itself and you can't go far wrong!

Unless you want it on PAYG in which case, prepare to spend some cash!

Just got a V3 Razr Black on a free upgrade

It's one of life's little pleasures being able to assign a picture of Godzilla along with his roar for when my mother-in-law calls

Thanks for al the advise.

I've been given an old Sony Ericsson - I'm sure scoobygurllover won't approve (not sure of the model - its black and silver and was the one used in Charlie's Angels apparently) - jeeze I sound like an 80 year old technophobe.

Just need a new sim card I guess.
