Got a week or so before I'm gonna order a new contract, my requirements are: about 200-250 mins a month max and up to 100 texts. Just been through my last 6 months worth of bills with 3, and only once have I used over 200 mins, mostly between 100-150, and I've not gone over 100 texts at all.

I want a phone that has bluetooth and isn't a total brick. A half decennt camera on it would be nice as my digital camera recently broke but not that important. Would rather not do a vodaphone deal as I've been with them before and didn't like them, plus all their deals appear to come without texts inclusive and I can't be bothered to mess around with addons. I also want a free xbox 360!

Been trying to weigh up between the following deals and wanted someone with experience of the phones to either bosh or recommend them?

Samsung D600 on Orange - 18 month contract, 200mins/75 texts £30/month, phone cost £44.99

Sony W800i on Orange same contract as above phone cost £79.99

Motorola V3i on O2 either contracts here:

Which of those do you think is the best deal? There's loads of other phone out there on similar deals on that website but having had a brief look at them all these 3 mobiles have caught my attention the best so if there's something else I should be looking at please let me know! Cheers for any help :)

Edit: Forgot to add, not bothered about video playback or mp3s etc, got an iriver and I rarely use that so not fussed on the mobile.
 
Thanks for your reply :)
Giving it a little more thought, a camera is more important than I'd first thought, cos if I can get a phone that takes decent enough pictures and has a reasonable amount of memory to store them on then I'll use it as a stop-gap until I'm feeling saucy enough to splash out on a new camera, so that will rule out the V3i for me. Also had numerous flipphones and while I do enjoy the satisfying feeling of hanging up on annoying cold calls with a thunk I'm bored of them breaking too easily! Gotta say though my current phoe is motorola and I'm used to the menus now so they're not a problem.

Not had either a samsung or a Sony Ericson before but played about with my mate's K750 at work tonight and found it ok so think I'll stump up the extra £35 and go with the W800 over the D600 unless I'm missing something that makes the D600 better at all.
