I can either pay up to 200quid, or I can pay 400quid. Reason being that I can either spend 200 on the phone, and 200 on something else (a secret!), or just spend the whole lot on a phone if it's worth it.

I currently do not own a phone:D I've been offered an iPhone4 for 150quid, but it seems a little bit dodgy. I don't really know anything at all about phones, I still remember the Nokia 3310 being cool:D

A few people have told me Android's are the way to go. All I care about as far as a phone goes:

Decent camera.
Internet capability.
Either a keyboard, or *usable* touchscreen.
 
To be honest, I only noticed this section of the forums today! Too busy watching Spiderman the movie to read through the threads though!
 
add £30 more to your budget and you can easily pick up HTC desire or Nexus one, which are still the best and if you are lucky enough you might be able to pick up Samsung Galaxy S for around £250 ish but nexus one holds my vote
 
How does the Samsung Galaxy S compare to the HTC Desire? The Samsung is slightly cheaper it seems.

If I go contract (which I may well do), which should I go for? The Samsung is no more expensive than the HTC Desire it seems.

Also, which network would be best to go with? ;)

The Galaxy S is a great phone with plenty of support on the XDA forums, for modding and customisation etc... just like the Desire, but has a better screen and possibly camera, amongst other things.

I am on a 3 Contract, but bought my Galaxy S from an O2 store on PAYGO for just £320. The phone was not sim locked or branded and workss great with my 3 sim in it ;)
