Best mobile for me?

Hi,
i'm after a wee bit o' advice regarding mobile phones.
I posted this in the techie forum but i din't know the mobile phone forum was here, i thought it might have been moved by now.
My contract with orange is due for renewal next month - i can get an upgrade from the 22nd of this month - and i'm not sure which phone/provider to go for. I like orange and would like to stick with them but they don't ssem to want to do a deal with me regarding my contract - they are going to remove a discount that they did not originally stipulate was temporary. I'm currently paying £15 a month for 120 xnet minute and 30 texts plus £4 for 4MB web access, apparently my £10 'temporary discount' runs out in November.
What i need is a phone which will sync with outlook, good for email/internet access, functions well as an mp3 player and has a decent (or expandable) memory for mp3's etc.
Are Windows Smartphones any good?
i was looking at the Orange SPV C600 but would have to stick with Orange to get this. I also like the new Flext tariffs from T-mobile - but the SPV is not an option there. I had a look at the SonyEricsson Walkman phones but i'm not too sure if they are any good for email/internet or if they sync with outlook - but i really could not bring myself to having an orange coloured phone.
Is there a better phone/network that suits my needs?
Cheers.

T-Mobile used to do an "SPV" handset but branded under their own T-Mobile brand.. It was called the SDA II:

But it looks like they don't do it anymore. Sorry, I haven't been much help have I??0
