- Great "bring your own phone" SIM only contracts where even the cheapest £10 per month contract gives more minutes, data and SMS messages than I need.

In short, I'm growing a little miserly and can no longer afford the cost savings (assuming they are as real as they look).

I'm quite comfortable with Android (I have a Wildfire S that keeps running out of memory) and I remain curious about the new Nokia Windows phones. What does worry me is memory. This is never a problem with my 32GB 3GS but I notice my Wildfire S is low on "internal memory" and that causes problem.

Is this going to be a problem with all Android phones going forward or was I just a fool to expect too much from one of the cheapest?

Now, I don't need the greatest phone out there. I have no desire to watch feature length HD movies on a phone screen. So, I suspect the latest Galaxy is overkill to me. However, having music while on the go is important to me (I suspect I will miss the iPod and iTunes built into the iPhone). I'm use Facebook quite a lot but there are no bad options in that respect.

With all this in mind, what would our assembled experts recommend for Internaut's next phone?

Oh, and bearing in mind where I am (i.e. here), my next phone must be a great travel companion. The savings I'm eyeing probably mean an extra self funded foreign trip next year.
