Red face Trouble Deciding on a new mobile....

Having trouble deciding on a new mobile to get, i'm moving overseas soon so a contract phone is out of the equation, and i would like to keep it below 250 in price.

I would have researched in Total Mobile, but the newsagents here havnt been getting it in in a while....

Here's the main features I want and also a few phones I like but am unsure of.
  • Vibrating alert (a MUST)
  • Large high quality screen
  • Ability to create and use custom mp3 ringtones
  • Bluetooth
  • Decent Memory size (dont need huge mem as I have a PDA)
  • Camera with Video if possable

Here's the few phones I like but am not sure of (in no particular order)
[Feel free to suguest others I may like]
  • Motorola V3 (Black)
  • Sony Ericsson P910
  • Nokia 9500
  • Sony Ericsson K750 (Black)
  • Sony Ericsson V800
  • Nokia N90

I have no idea what any of these currently cost for handset only or if they cave the kind of features i'm after but if you know please post it.

Thanks!

What about the Orange SPV C500 or one of it's variants?

It does what you want, is small and easy to use and costs £140 on payg and is easily unlockable.
