MP3 Phone - good idea?

Hi! My MP3 was stolen a while ago, and I'm faced with a bit of a choice now.

I could replace it with something like an Iriver T10, or replace my rather tired 7250i with an MP3 playing phone. I have no experience of these, so does the sound quality compare? It would be nice / convenient to have it together in one device.

Atm I'm O2 PAYG TalkALot, which I exhuast in 30 days £10/month. So my working is:

Iriver T10 = £112
My Phone Bill (12 Months) = £120

So if I could persuade my Dad to take a contract out for me (Assuming 12months, free phone) I could afford up to
£20 - £25 a month.

Would there be a comparison in aoudio qulaity and usablity? Would it be worth it, bearing in mind my phone doesn't really need replacing? If so what phones are best?

Cheers all!

    I have the sony ericsson w900i walkman phone, as I can't be bothered to carry both phone and mp3 player around. It is a great phone even if it is quite big. It has a 500 mb internal memory, that is expandable to 2 gigs. And you can plug your own headphones into it, which is always a plus.

    The only downside is the battery life is not particularly great, but the sound (with my headphones) is very good, easily comparible to an ipod or whatever

    It is only available on vodafone at the moment in White. Other networks will be black when they get it
