Orange contract coming to an end

[Noodles]

I am currently with Orange and my contract is ending in December.

I'm on Racoon 25 / 18 month contract:
- 225 minutes
- 100 texts
- free unlimited internet
- £15/month (I have £10 Loyalty discount)

I lost my Samsung u600 so currently just have a crappy old phone, so definitely in need of something better.

I wonder what the best plan is, just ring them and pretend to cancel to see if I can get a better deal and phone?

Anybody have an idea of how good a phone that might offer me? I've just read the review of the Nokia E71 and that sound pretty good. I wonder if they will give me that.

last time i tried to cancel (18 months ago) they were pretty good. First offered me £10 off my line rental, i said i would think, so they gave me an extra £45 credit, making my line rental effectively £12.50. Also said I could have any phone, which at the time I picked a Samsung u600.

I just rang to cancel, and got offered similar to the above post.

Samsung G600 (or i think Nokia 6500 slide, and a Sony W595)
300 minutes / 100 text / unlimited landlines / free home broadband for £9.50.

Not bad price for the contract. would have liked a better phone, but I thinking of going for it since the contract is good.

Does anybody have any ideas what the cheapest phone with a qwerty keyboard is. I am wondering wether to push them on the phone a bit.
