So, as where I may be staying often has only 3g coverage with Three - should
I risk it? ;-)
If so, which phone?

Blackberry 9700 is a top notch phone and the iphone or those HDTC ones are
well speced. I opted for the blackberry as I hate touch phones.

How much do you have to spend, and what features do you require?

Don't you mean 'how much do you _wish_ to spend'? ;-)

Sub 20 quid would be best
E mail
Basic web browsing - forums, football scores, on line banking (can you do
that?)
A map package would be nice, although I do have a tom-tom
Phone calls ;-)
A few texts - I currently have 50 pcm, but the kids think I need more!
Basic camera - you can't not have that can you
Blue tooth
Wireless connectivity
Speakerphone

Think that's all.
