Best Phone for Music

At the moment I have a 20gb philips mp3 player and a crappy phone and I want to combine the two.

The only feature I want is the phone must be able to have 8gb of memory on it, either from a memory stick or internal hard drive or flash drive.

I'm not bothered about touch screen, camera, the look or weight of it or the make I just need a lot of memory. What is my cheapest option?

I'd prefer one i can get 2nd hand on eBay. I don't want a contract.

Thanks,
Tom

Re: Best Phone for Music

I'm trying to find a cheap phone. Preferably around £50, maybe go up to £100.

Re: Best Phone for Music

if you can wait for the Nokia N96 it looks like its going to be a great phone which comes with 16 GB.

But its going to cost a lot.
Could you save up for one?

Re: Best Phone for Music

Will the N95 go down in price?
But it will still be more than £100.

Its only got 160Mb of internal memory anyway. You could add an 8gb card right enough.

Well I said up to £100. I can get a w580i off eBay for about £50 and an 8gb m2 card for about £30 but I was wondering if there was a cheaper way.

Look at a Sony Ericsson W800i or even better, W810i. Great little phone and can be found cheap. Bung in a decent sized memory card and you're away
