I would say that a Qtek 9090 might suit your needs pretty well. Quadband phone that uses Pocket PC and has built in WLAN (802.11b). The OS and that the phone has a built in wlan makes you able to install Skype and call for free (or a small charge depending on where you calling to) from anywhere in the world where you can find a hotspot. And except from that you can use the wifi for surfing, updating blog, uploading photos and such. Not a cheap phone (about 850 USD I think) but a multi purpose one.

Wicked man thanks, looks good. I considered the Nokia N series phones with similar functionality, but looks like the N80 needs to be charged everyday so not very practical... |

In response to the quad band / tri band point, there aren't many countries that are GSM 850 MHz only, and I won't be visiting them, so fortunately I can get away with a tri band phone.

So nobody has any other ideas on the best tariff to go with UK operator wise? |

New Zealand has only 1 GSM Network, VodafoneNZ
It would probably pay for you to get a Vodafone sim to roam with in Asia / Australia / NZ.
PM me if you would like info on what to see and do in NZ especially Auckland and North Island.
