"Mobile phone Help required!!!"

I have decided that my brick needs upgrading. As it isn't user friendly and is pretty unreliable. It is actually a hunk of junk. Anyway i'm thinking about getting a new phone and so decided to go to my local high street retailers and see what was on offer. Anyway I have £100 budget and I want to be on pay as you go and preferably on O2. (Wap is a strong Preference)

The best 2 i saw on O2 were:

Motorola V50- for £99.99-various retailers

This phone is small and quite likeable but i don't really care to much about its size as long as it isn't a complete brick. It seems a good phone but im leaning towards the other alternative:

Nokia 3330-

Good common phone so should be no problem stealing some ones battery or charger if it runs out an inconvenient time. more user friendly and still fairly small. I think this could be the right choice but there are two options:

Sim free: £99.00 carphone warehouse
T-mobile: £69.00 a couple of places

obviously the lower priced phone is preferred but i'd like to stay with O2. Is it possible to get it unlocked easily or am i better off not being stingey and buying the sim free one.

Anyway I'd appreciate the opinion of someody in the know about phones, or even better alternate suggestions (don't mind going a little over budget!). Info on the phones and your experience would be appreciated. Or just suggestions on what you think i should get.

Thanks.

With GPRS you can be continuously connected to data networks and access your favorite information and entertainment services. You can stay logged onto the Internet or your email account all the time, without worrying about how long you've been connected. You just turn on, tune in, and download - whenever you like. Hope that helps :D

i saw a 3210 on virgin for £50. But i want more! I like wap and stuff and computer compatability and all that other rubbish!

I got a 3310 (ahem, what does it matter if it's not WAP) on Virgin for £99.99 with £25 free calling credit. Go to the V Shop, Virgin Megastores, V Mega Extra or www.virginmobile.com (or something like that) for more...
