Which Mobile Phone Should I Purchase?

Having recently lost my mobile phone (Nokia 2720) I'm in need of a new phone. What I'm looking for is listed below:
- On 02 Network.
- Pay As You Go, NOT contract.
- Decent/clear quality camera.
- Bluetooth.
- Black coloured.
- Price Range between £20 - £80 (Although I'd rather NOT pay up to £80, but if the phone is nice looking & I like it, I may stretch to that price).
- Ability to connect to the PC to transfer songs/pictures etc.
And that's pretty much it to be honest. I purchased the Nokia 2720 as it looked rather stylish & was Black coloured which I like my phones to be, but to be honest when it arrived I was disappointed as it felt rather flimsy and seemed as if it'd easily break if I were to drop it or handle it a little bit roughly.
I pretty much use my mobile phones for texting, ringing people, "occasionally" using the camera & "occasionally" using the Bluetooth feature for putting songs on my phone etc. I'm not really into phones like the iPhone, Blackberry etc, as I don't feel I'd get much use whatsoever out of all the different features etc that they have, so I'm just looking for a simple yet stylish phone which can do all the features I've listed above. I also don't really use the Internet features on mobile phones so that's not essential, although obviously if the phone has that feature & it's in my price range, it's an added bonus. Another reason I purchased the 2720 was because it was a "flip" phone, as I quite like them, but this isn't essential whatsoever though.
What do you guys recommend? I'd appreciate hearing what you guys advise.
Thanks in advance.

I reccomend going into 1 of the phone shops eg carphone warehouse or 02 shop and have a look at the phones available, this way you can see how they look rater than pictures form the internet and you can also see how they feel0

I could do that yeah, thanks. The only problem is, they often don't have as many phones instore as they do on the Internet and the deals aren't as good either.0
