My phone is up for renewal, currently have an old Blackberry which is great as my fat fingers seem to get on fine with the keyboard.

However going away for a few days next week (UK) and want something easy to connect to my laptop as modem, Vodafone say I don't need a tethering contract as its just a few emails whilst on holiday.

Currently paying £20 month for 300 mins and unlimted texts 500mb + £5 for Blackberry data, Carphone warehouse offer iphone 4 £36 inc VAT with free phone on 24 month contract.

Basically all I need is a basic smartphone on Vodafone with live email that I can connect to laptop either wired or bluetooth at least monthly cost, any suggestions?
