Coming to the end of your contract? Looking for an upgrade to your rubbishy Java phone?
You’re spoiled for choice at the moment with swanky smartphones more common than out-of-work bankers. Everything from the T-Mobile G1 to the BlackBerrry Storm is free on monthly contract, but don’t whip out the credit card just yet – there are a few more mobiles on the horizon worth waiting for.
