W800i, 810i or N70

Ok, I think im gonna make the move to a contract as im spending £20-30 a month on pay and go with the phone I currently have. Which of the 3 in title are the best?

From what I can see all the 810i has to offer over the 800 is that it is quad band. Its also slightly heavier, less talk time/standby time and doesnt come with bluetooth. Where can it be used with quad band, in vietnam jungle or somewhere?

Any other options on what phone is good? Id really like one with a camera that has a fast response time but i know this is more or less out of the question with all phones

a lot of w810i reviews ive seen suggest it has a better battery life so i wouldnt trust the specs from o2 site.

im was in a similar situation (payg -> contract) until this morning. I went for the w810i because of the looks and the host of features it has. I know its very similar to the w800i but why go for the old model when you can get the new one However you can probably get a better deal with the w800i.
i went with vodafone, £20 a month plus £20 for the handset so it wasnt that bad. Also 3months halfprice line rental.

thanks all. for the £20 month what free minutes/texts do you get?

Im looking at orange £19 a month with 50 any time call minutes and 500 texts. I'll then blag o2 as ive been with them for 5 years to get me the same deal but abit better!
