UK Sim only deals

Hi there, I wonder if you guys could provide me with some advice.

I am currently on a Vodafone 18month contract that is due to end in June with an option to upgrade the phone at the end of this month (March).

I am pretty keen on the HTC Desire but with Vodafone not currently showing this as an option yet (a matter of time I know), I’m thinking of buying the phone from a supplier SIM free. My questions are as follows:

Can I drop the SIM card from my current phone (Storm) straight into the HTC and use the phone as per my current Vodafone contract until it ends in June?
When should I start talking to Vodafone about a 12 month SIM contract?
Should I do this online or through there sales line?
Should I suggest that I’m thinking of leaving in order to negotiate the best deal?
What sort of deal are available? I would consider myself a less than average user of all types ie Web, mins and texts.

I know there are no hard fast rules to the above but any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Mark.

I'm on the same as oniongirl, and O2 are the only UK provider who is close to offering truly unlimited data bundle... I still found the limit though, managed 1.5GB in 3 days offlining Spotify on my iphone with 3G unrestrictor :) got a warning message in the post and everything.

Well that isn't true since I'm on T-mobile with an actual unlimited data plan. Confimed by T-mobile to have no limit whatsoever.

interesting! okay I admit I kind of discounted t-mobile and 3 in my estimation of unlimited plans as both in my limited experience have pretty bad coverage.
