I want a new phone - recommendations

Options
Folks :-
I want a new phone as my all singing, all dancing T-Mobile SDA II is becoming too unreliable and driving me nuts!

What is now important to me are the following attributes.

- Reliability!
- On t-mobile network / ability to unlock it.
- Bluetooth
- Reasonable (1 megapixel plus) camera
- Ability to play MP3s and ability to take a memory card to store them on
- Cost

Looking at the clearance phones available from e2save (who I trust for cash back) I am toying with the idea of getting the Sony W810i on o2 which with cashback is £7.50 per month (and my daughter can have the contract.) Alternatively maybe a samsung D900 would do the trick and the Sony K800i looks really cool (but I'm struggling to find it on a cheap / discounted contract.) Suggestions / recommendations welcome. The Sony K750i I've personally discounted because I've read horror stories about it's physical reliabilty (the joystick is apparently a weak point as is the camera. I'm open to arguments on this.)

Thanks

Kevin

    I can highly recommend the k800i - awesome picture taking and meets all your needs.

    You're probably right to be concerned about camera/joystick longlevity though - I take the attitude that for the first year it's under warranty and affter that I get an upgrade though :)
