Phone recommendations?

zilog_jones

I'm looking for a new phone. I got a NEC N343i last year, but there's this annoying ringing noise whenever I talk on this (always been like this - should have taken it back but left it too late), reception is usually shyte and the battery ain't great either.

Anyway I'm looking for these things:
- Available on O2 Speak Easy (from O2.ie or Carphone Warehouse or wherever)
- With FM radio
- Preferably with bluetooth
- Preferably under or around €100
- USB would be nice
- Not bothered about camera or imode

I've noticed the K750i is still available on o2.ie (or is this lies?) - I'd really like it but I dunno if I can afford it

Any suggestions?
Are Motorola phones any good these days?

taking a look at the o2 website, looks like yur only options on speak easy are the k750i and 6230i. the BT being what brings the price up. the 6070 has a radio and is 99


edit:
the k750i is €149 on the o2 website. get that

I think I'll go for the Sony Ericsson W300i - only €120 and it's more music-playing oriented than the K750i (also cheaper and not nearly 2 years old) so maybe it can finally replace my MP3 CD Walkman too if I get a big M2 card

I found this site good for comparing phones: http://www.gsmarena.com/
It even has listings for all the old crap like my Panasonic GD30 brick

Motorola E2 one of the best music phones available right now (in terms of value for money) - check the mobilereview.com's review of it.

Available for around E130 (sim-free)

Has all the functions you need (and even has a 3.5mm socket for plugging your earphones directly into the phone)... Camera is only 1.3 megapixels, no autofocus but you stated you didn't need that. SD memory card so you can get up to 2gb for much cheaper than M2...

Screen blows the k750i out of the water
