Advice Wanted : Mobile Phones

lathanyI'm thinking of getting myself a mobile phone for when I go back to work (so that I too can announce "I'm on the train!") However, I know next to nothing about how to choose one (I've never bought one before).
My criteria are:
Use : To ring out in emergencies and semi-emergencies. I'm not interested in deals that provide chat time, I have a land line for that (it'll normally be switched off).
Features : Just the whole "phone" thing. I don't care about cameras, ring tones, text messages, games, etc (although, I'm mostly interested in the cheapest option so if it's cheaper to get a phone with them, that's fine). I also want something that would fit in my bag, but frankly anything smaller than a brick works (also I find the really small phones annoying).
Main want : Something cheap.
Any and all advice appreciated!

Date: 2005-09-18 09:23 pm (UTC)I'm mostly ringing home when something unexpected happens (eg. South West Trains go up the creek). I imagine that I'll occasionally use it to ring someone else, but it'll be almost never (just based on past experience).
is it worth getting a phone-PDA
Not for me. But thanks for the thought.
