O2 or Orange upgrade?

BITmix

New user, will say hello when my Sensation gets ordered/arrives. Tired of my iPhone.


Basically ive come into the period of my phone contract and was wanted to get some perspective from others about upgrading as i havent done it before. Anyway basically i got a 2 year contract with O2 with the 3GS but brought an iPhone 4 myself when they got released and sold my 3GS.

Basically now i want to "upgrade" from my iPhone 4 to a HTC Sensation as the iPhone 4 has become a bit yawnful for me and my gf got a HTC desire HD and its awesome.

Basically with the upgrade system on O2s website i can upgrade my phone from the iPhone 4 to the HTC sensation with the following:

O2: 24 months, Free Sensation Phone, 42 monthly, 1200 minutes, unlimited texts, 500mb internet.

or with O2 i could reduce my current line rental from 45 a month to 26.50 a month till my contract ends (3 months.)

However after having a nose around a couple of websites i found this:

Phones4u: Orange, 24 months, Free Sensation phone, 30 monthly, 500 minutes, 3000 texts, 500mb internet, Orange Wednesdays.

Should i just take the 26.50 a month till my contract ends deal and buy the new orange phone or try to see if O2 can beat the phones4u deal if they want to keep my "business?"

Im becoming a university student soon who is moving away from home so i want to keep my line rental and bills down as much as possible.

Personally im tempted just to go with orange due to orange wednesdays and i doubt O2 will reduce the line rental from 42 to below 30 for a new phone and give me better features then orange.
 
Get the phone from Carphone Warehouse so you get the unbranded handset - Orange are terrible for ruining firmware on their devices
