    What to do?

    My 18 month contract expires in the next few months and I'm not quite sure what to do.

    I currently have a Samsung i8510. I'm paying £35 per month which allows 600 minutes and unlimited text messages on o2.

    I'm perfectly happy with the phone, it does pretty much everything I need. Should I bother getting a new handset, or try and wrangle the price down?

    If I do go for a new handset, any suggestions? I want to be able to watch films, play music, web-browse, and maybe take a few pics.

    If you're happy with the phone then I wouldn't change it. It's perfectly capable for the activities you listed.

    You can easily haggle the price down. I know someone who is paying around £25 and is getting between 1000-1200 minutes with unlimited texts and data with O2. If i remember correctly they even got a phone with that.

    Definately negotiate, I used to pay £35/month and when my contract came up I threatened to leave and now pay £16/month for a much better deal than I previously had. I was offered a free phone upgrade as well.
