Default Best phone for Photos on PAYG

I'm tempted by the Tesco deal on a Sony Ericsson K750i for £80 on PAYG.
Anything else better I should be looking at with a budget of under £100?
Good pics is the main criteria.
TIA

Check Amazon for Nikon L3 or L4 (4MP) cameras for About £70 and while you're
there buy a Nokia 1110 on Virgin for £20.

The 2MB cameras in most mobiles are okay, but they are never as good as a
seperate stand-alone camera.

Funnily enough I have a much better camera than both those Nikons.
I also have a Nokia 1110 as a spare, the purpose of the question was because
I don't want to carry two items around with me.

Although the k750 is last years phone it's camera is still one of the
best around - because it has auto focus, most of the newer and slimmer
models lack this.

For the price you can't really go wrong - I know I bought one of the red
variants from cpw last month.

I too am tempted by the K750. I have a K600 and some of the pix I have
taken have been great not because of the tech spec etc but purely and
simply because of the moment. The fact that I can take a pic on holiday
and email it to a dozen friends and almost instantly share the moment
with them is great, cheaper than postcards! 640x480 is about 25Kb or
so and costs 12.5p (when roaming) to send and good enough for email
although I generally do them at 1280x960, 140Kb which although it costs
70p, when divided by the number of recipients is about 6p each, try
sending a postcard for that from the other side of the world.

Yes I will whip out the grown up cam for a higher spec pic but try
sending that from a Nikon camera through a Nokia 1100. When I return to
the UK I burn the the high spec pics to DVD but then the only people
who will see those are my wife and myself and anyone else I inflict the
'holiday snap slideshow' on.

I also bought a dinner service in a sale that my wife had been looking
for by sending an email to my wife asking 'is that it'? Again at 25Kb
that email would have cost about 7.5p (cheaper than a text!) but it
saved me £35!

I used to be sceptical about cameras on phones but now I am totally
converted to them. They are great for happy snaps, holiday postcard
emails etc etc.

Regards
