Recommendations for new phone

[Rodo]

I need to update my phone which is a few years old and am totally bewildered by the array of phones on the market now. I know that Samsung seem to be the preferred ones these days. I don't really need a very expensive one as I no longer work and am just at a loss as to which to buy. I don't want to spend £500 and yet I'm not looking at really cheapo phones.

All advice would be greatly appreciated.

Do you want to go onto a contract or pay as you go? And what do you want your phone to do / have? What is your minimum criteria

or a house phone

Do you want a touchscreen or a more basic keypad phone?

I want a payasyougo mobile phone, and I want something that looks nice and smart and up-to-date.

What about a Samsung Galaxy - I am on contract but was led to believe this would be more than adequate for my needs. I love it.

I love my HTC two year contract for £12.00 a month and the fact I didn't have to pay out a lump sum. Free texts (don't know how many) and free call time and does lots of things I don't use! Smashing camera.

I had a HTC which was wonderful, it was a Wildfire S. I'd definitely recommend HTC.

I've seen the Samsung Galaxy and wondered about that one - have never heard of the HTC though. Will have to look that one up.

Thank you for suggestions.

Just been into Carphone Warehouse online and so many choices including PAYG as well as free phone and contracts from £7.50 a month.
