Cheap PAYG phone

Hi there,

I'm a student just about to enter my final year and I am planning on going travelling after I finish my degree for 3 months.

I'm in desperate need of a new phone at the moment and I am looking to get a cheapish but fairly decent mobile phone on PAYG which will work in most countries. Can anyone share ideas?

At the moment I have been looking at the Samsung C3050 from Orange as its Quad band, £29.00 (but I get £10 off for being a student + £5 off from my phone fund). It requires I top-up by £20 which is very anoying but until the 13th Sept I would get £20 HMV voucher anyway. So works out about £36 for phone, credit and gift voucher. Can anyone do one better than this?
