    Buy a Sony Ericsson from Carphone Warehouse on line, it works out at £39.95 inc £10 air time, these phones are unlocked and come with a 512 mb SD card, that can be expanded. Go through Quidco for £5 back. HTH

    I have had phones which do that-

    I had the Sony Ericsson W850i which was excellent, and the Sony Ericsson W610i which was ok but had no radio. But the problem I had with Sony Ericsson (and this is not the same with Sony without the Ericsson in the name) is that my computer would not recognise it- transferring data was impossible. I contacted Sony Ericsson who were less then helpful, advising me to redo my registry on my computer (even providing me with a site to use to do this) which I since have found caused irreparable damage..

    Nokias are also great, I had the N95 8gb which was excellent (but very expensive and got stolen from me) to be replaced by a Nokia Slide 6500 which was a good little phone- I have to say it never matched the phone it was replacing for me, but without having that comparison, its a good phone- you can drop it, its still works (unlike many others) its very simple to use and combine with computers and download/upload things. Well recommended. It was all of what your asking for. Not sure on prices but it can't be too expensive if I was able to be given it by 3 when my phone was stolen.

    Hello bigangus

    I'll move your thread to the 'Mobile Phones' board.

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]!!!!!![/EMAIL].

    Regards

    Hi Gang
    Thanks to all who have contributed :wave:
    having looked into the situation, i think i will do the MSE thing
    and just buy a cheap 2Gig ish mp3 player
    all i wanted was 1 thing less to carry around:)
    so will look for 1 of those mp3 players with a card slot, and
    an internal battery, so i can just plug it in. instead of using
    rechargeable batteries
    Thanks again
