    I'm using an old Nokia phone, I'm thinking of upgrading to something that I can use the net on, I use a Macbook, I like Macs but think that an iphone is overkill for my uses.

    Would I be well served getting an older version Iphone? or would I be getter getting a HTC or something cheap, I'd like to keep it below e200 if I can get something decent for that price....

    I am looking for a phone that has a camera,
    can access wifi without using minutes as a charge on the bill, I am billpay.
    The form doesn't bother me-touchscreen, slider etc.
    My price would hopefully come in under e200.
    I prefer vodafone network-thanks!

    I use a Mac, but really when it comes to the phones, I don't know any better, I would think that I will try whatever is recommended in my pricepoint, if I get enthusiastic about having a 'smartphone' then I would do a more critical analysis of the pros and cons of each platform......that's generally the way I do things, so I start out with a basic model and see what I like/don't like about a particular model=thanks for your help Davy!

    Ok well their is a lot of options that will do what you need, and you should be able to get most of the phone VF have on billpay for under €200, depending on your plan of course. Maybe for handiness the 4S might be best option.
