Question New *small* mobile ~£100

Hi,
I'm looking for a new mobile ~£100 (an upgrade from Virgin Mobile, i.e. sim-free price). I only really want 3 things from a phone:
1: decent diary/schedule app
2: small (i.e. not like the bricks "3" are selling)
3: infrared port (to connect to my laptop)

When I say "small" I mean not much bigger than my Motorola C350. I've never been a fan of "flip" phones, but if there's anything out there which fits my requirements then I won't rule it out on principle.

I'm currently looking at:
Motorola C651
Philips 755
Sony Ericsson T630
Samsung E800 (a bit out of my price range but I would go for it if it really is as good as it seems)

Hope you can help,
Thanks in advance,
Allan Lewis.

If you wanted to spend a bit more the Sony Ericsson K700i is 139.00 from Orange.

I have had one for about 3 months now, great phone, decent camera, large memory 41MB, plays MP3, FM radio and bluetooth.

You could get it for less on ebay I'm sure

You can get a Sagem MYX5-2, on PAYG Orange from Jessops (camera shop) for GBP39.99. Then spend GBP15 on having it unlocked. Total 54.99. TriBand, Camera, IRDA, small.
