Mmmm, add this to the mix
Phone will cost £450 ish sim free when its available. Maybe less on eBay when they start selling them on if they don't like it
Take out a 25 quid contract now ( saving £180 over the 18 months) the best phone I can get is either a f490 for £100 or any number of S-E's for free. Idea being sell teh phone straight away for ~100 quid profit, I'm now £280 up. Add teh £90 I get in Quidco for going through them maskes it £370, Continue using what I have now( which I'm happy with for teh moment) and then buy the DTP when its out. £100 or so tops to find!
That way I get the contract/signal/keep my number now. Make use of data etc in the meantime, get the phone I want when I'm 6-7 months into the contract so I'm only 12 months away from my next trade up. with the way phones are going I reckon in 18 months there will be something new and shiny out that will want so I'll be closer to getting it.
Gee, all that came to me whilst changing the duvet.
