Sony Ericsson W350i on T-Mobile Pay As You Go £39.95 @ Carphonewarehouse

This lightweight mobile gives you 15 hours of listening time for every full battery charge. Use the dedicated buttons on the phone’s flip to control its integrated music player and change, skip or pause tracks.

The W350i’s FM radio features Sony’s TrackID service, which allows you to summon up extra information about a piece of music at the push of a button. Handy when there’s a song title on the tip of your tongue.

The handset also features Sony’s MegaBass technology to enhance the audio and give you decent sounds whether listening through external stereo speakers or the dedicated earphones.

The W350i also features stereo Bluetooth so you can hear your favourite songs through a wireless headset.

The phone comes with a 512MB memory card included in the box but the Memory Stick Micro (M2) slot will take cards up to 4GB in size – that’s enough room for up to 1,000 songs.

Other features include a 1.3 Megapixel camera which comes with a 4x digital zoom, good enough for quick snaps of your friends and family to put on the web.

There’s even software on board to send photos to a personal blog you create.

Surf the internet with EDGE, the same speedy technology found on BlackBerrys, and use the RSS feed client to keep up-to-date with the latest headlines. You can also download emails to the handset and access your inbox on the move.

And when you’re done with work and music, there’s a cool Guitar Legend game pre-loaded to rock out to.
