I'm looking to get a new mobile on pay as you go, and to spend no more than £100, preferably less. I've been looking at a few mobiles and I've narrowed it down to these - unless anyone has any better suggestions. I definitely want decent battery life, especially when playing MP3s, and the ability to use it as a organizer is a bonus, as would Wi-Fi or 3G. Most of these don't have WiFi or 3G - should I be going for 3G as I do plan on going on the internet with these, though not to watch Youtube videos or anything.

Nokia 5103 - it has a long battery life for music, but the screen is quite poor in sunlight, apparently.

Nokia 5530 - this is quite pricy, but has wi-fi. However, it apparently feels quite cheap.

Alcatel OT-708 - very cheap, touchscreen, decent battery life. But some people say it's a bit rubbish.

LG KP500 - This gets good reviews, but has a very poor battery life, apparently.

Tocco Lite - this seems to be a popular and a good one, but some people have said that it cuts out on some calls - not just on O2 - and that the locking mechanism can unlock the phone in your pocket.

Anyone have any thoughts on these or recommendations for other phones?
