Suggestion for a new phone?

How do you guys like your phone as a mp3 player? I am trying to find a phone that suits my needs that doesn't costs too much of my blood. I don't mind the old model just as long as it looks ok.

My criteria:
1. MP3 capability (with memory slot to expand)
2. Bluetooth. Not so much that I want to use wireless headphone but because I want to be able to send and receive files with my laptop.
3. $100 price target.
4. GSM...compatible with tmobile.

I was looking at Rokr and Slvr but it seems like both have limit on the capacity of memory you can expand (256mb?).

so, suggestion?
 
I believe that the ROKR and SLVR both use iTunes and are subjected to a 100 song maximum.

I have Sprint and the Samsung m610. I use the music player very rarely, I don't like the fact that you can't have it play in the background and still do other stuff like send a txt. The sound quality is good enough for me.

Anyway, I can't say I've used it, but maybe look into the Sony Walkman line of phones which are GSM, good luck with the $100.

My recommend. Does everything you want (except it's not T-Mo compatible). It's what I use, and I love it, and it allows for quite a bit of expandability (uses up to a 2GB microSD mem card).
You can get someone to unlock the BJ for <$50...there may even be CID & SIM unlock software available out there for free as well (haven't looked). That's quite the deal, but no way to get around the 2 year contract. :|
