Your help and advice please for new phone!

OK, so no sniggering but I've had the same phone (and price plan contract) for the last 5 years (yes i know

!). So nevermind why but what to do...!

I'm with '3' who I'm happy enough to stay with.

The price plan I'd renew with is the £15 a month one. So it seems the main/best (free) phones on offer to me are the Nokia 6120, the sony k800i or sony z610i. Not at all keen on the z610i so that leaves the other two. Always had nokias so instinct is to go with the 6120 but camera seems to be better on the k800i. Are there any other reasons to choose one of those 2 over the other.

Of course I have 2 other options.

One is to look at other networks... Should I? Will there be similar deals with better phones on offer to me? No idea what phones are out there at the moment. Would they just be offering me the same 2? (for free). I do know I would also have the option of Samsungs if I look elsewhere cos '3' don't do Samsungs. So is that something I should look at?

2nd option is to pay extra for a phone, and of course the phone would be better but its probs not necessary for someone who just wants the basics no?

Please advise me! 5 year (+) is more than enough lol Thanks!

First of all i just like to say well done for lasting with the same phone for 5 years

if it was me i would go for the sony ericsson k800i i like sony cause their phones have everything you need and more on them and for me personally i find the menus easier to use i find the nokia phones menus annoying !!

anyways good luck which ever you decide

the 6120 is the best free phone you get x series on it and you get grate features with real player.
