Probably Nokia N96 or Blackberry Storm if you can get hold of either.

But tbh, I don't see the point in that, as your actual monthly payments will be high for no reason.

Bin your 18/14 month contract and get a SIM Only tarrif, which work out £10 cheaper often, and buy yourself a Nokia 6300 on PAYG on the right network, binning the PAYG SIM card.

If i can get my deal that i have seen for £30 a mth i wont pay any extra call/text charges.

£30x18 mths = £540

Sell the phone for £400 ish

£140 / 18mths = £7.77pr mth

Seem a good deal?

do it then, but you run the risk of it not working out financially if it doesn't sell for as much as you want.
