Someone will have to tell me what a "blighty" is. What do you mean by "SIM free", a GSM phone without a SIM? A PDC or CDMA phone that doesn't use a SIM? I'm confused.

how easy is it to get just the handset, and costs for a mid range handset with camera, bt, media player?

AFAIK, You can't get those features without a contract. Prepaid phones are very basic.
