New phone
My trusty XDA Orbit has finally given up the ghost. Well, its still functioning but battery life is now appauling and it randomly restarts as well now. This could be down to a dud battery (2.5 years old) but to be honest the phone is worn, starting to show its age too. So basically it's an excuse to upgrade.
 I'm currently on one of those simplicity dealies with O2. £20pcm, 500 mins and unlimited text. I quite like this so not wishing to move from O2 unless a better deal is out there. So, what's my options? What's good out there? I'd probably go for an iPhone but I have one provided by work for my work phone. This will be a personal phone (which ironically needs to have satnav for work) So: Needs to be Windows based. Not stupidly expensive. Reliable, attractive looking phone. What's my options? (I'm totally out the loop now with XDAs etc)

May I asked why it needs to be Windows based?

cose windows rocks.
i'm currently deciding between 3Gs and Diamond 2... http://www.mobiles.co.uk/htc-touch-diamond2.html i'll probably be switching to O2 and if you don't mind a 24month contract then theres a deal there - £25 a month, 600 mins/unlim txts with 7 months 1/2 price. seems good to me tbh. and with the diamond comes the much needed developers link for all the latest roms and software; http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=478 |

I used to be a WM fan, but I've got both an iPod Touch and a Google G1 and the vast range of apps on there are just amazing.
edit: My G1 even has a metal detector... WTF?!?! xD

Nope. An actual working metal detector.
And a non-gps based electric compass

I really want a G1 but... going from a £15/month contract to £30? Bit of a leap for a cool phone.

There are a couple of GPS navigation programs available for the G1
They do virtually everything the TomTom app does (I used to use the TT app on my WM6 phone).
