Hello all!

I am hoping some of you can help recommend a suitable contract for my girlfriend.

Her requirements are:

1. The contract should be no more than £25pm, ideally £20 or less.
2. The contract should have plenty of free texts (at least 100pm).
3. Evening and weekend minutes are more important than anytime minutes (assuming you get lots more of them, of course!).
4. The phone must have a good camera and be aesthetically pleasing.
5. The phone must not cost more than £30 in addition to the contract.
6. ... now this is the killer! She doesn't want a K750 as it would get confused with my phone around the house!
7. She is reluctant to go with Vodafone due to previous poor service.

My current best finds are:

O2 Online Offpeak 300 (300 offpeak mins and 500 texts pm) - £20pm

1. SE K750i + BT headset (£29.99) - £269.99
2. Samsung D500 + BT headset (£19.99) - £259.99
3. Nokia 3230 + BT headset (Free) - £240
4. Nokia 6230i + BT headset (Free) - £240
5. Samsung Z500 + BT headset (Free) - £240
6. Samsung E720 + BT headset (Free) - £240

Vodafone Eve & Wkend 1000 (1000 offpeak mins + 250 texts pm), £16pm

1. SE V600i (Free) - £192
2. SE K750i (£30) - £222
3. Samsung D500 (£40) - £232
4. Nokia 6230i + BT headset (£20) - £212
5. Samsung Z500 (£50) - £242
6. Samsung E720 (£60) - £252

These are roughly in the order I would choose. The obvious choice is the K750i as it is by far the best phone for only £10 more than the D500. However, she won't have it because it's the same as mine!

The V600 is also an interesting proposition - although she would have no use for 3G and doesn't like Vodafone.

Does anyone have additional suggestions?
