Get Motorola ZN5 OR se k850i cos it seems OS won't matter to you. Do you plan to install 3rd party applications?

If you want superior sound quality but can settle for a 3.2mp cam, go for the W705 available for 15k. You get the awesome HPM-77 bundled and also a 4gb card.

e63 looks good, but im not sure how great its music would be compared to the others.
