I too recommend checking out BlackBerry phones instead of cheapo phones, because not only do they run smoothly and have full features (and there are a number of varieties to discuss so i wont go into it here), also due to some of their bad publicity which should not be blamed on the quality of their phones, they sell for much less than they are worth.

If you live in an area with free wifi locations you can run a phone pretty cheaply, and even use one for simply a wifi browsing device. BlackBerries all come with a micro media card slot so you can store your important information and have bunches of music besides.
