I only have up to £200 to spend on a new phone and it needs to be able to play music and be able to fit atleast a 2gb memory onto it
I'd also recommend the T700. Picked one up a few days ago so I could have a good secondary phone to partner my KU990 ViewTY- been very happy with it so far.
The T700 has the Walkman 3.0 software, the volume rocker controls, great sound & incredible battery life. Part of my routine for new phones is to train the battery by draining it completely then recharging. My last training cycle had the phone down to 29% power - got it down to 3-4% with an 3G internet session (using a PC tethered to the phone via BlueTooth) that lasted nearly 3 hours.
Then it still took at least 5 camera shots (w/LED light on) and the bluetooth transfer of those photos to my ViewTY before the battery completely gave out.
Camera is surprisingly good for a 3MP no autofocus, no zoom etc - I think it uses some of the Cybershot software tech that made phones after the 902 that much better picture quality wise.
This is my first T series phone , my last SE unit was a much loved k800i which I consider one of the best 3G phones every built (that unit is still running well & strong after 3 years & many falls). Cost here in Manila was PHP 13,000.00 ( USD $ 273.00) and got a lot of value for the money.
The salesperson at the shop had one of her own & clearly loved it - that pushed me towards this model instead of the K660 (cheaper) which I was considering.

The T700 does look very nice. But I don't think it's out in the UK yet ): anyone know when it will be released?? Pricing??
It does depend how much of your 200 quid budget you want to spend:
You could spend it all and get a C902. It does all you want plus has a great camera.
Spend less and get a phone that meets your requirements, for example the W595, T700, W890 (now just £100 at O2) and put the money towards something else.
If you want to be able to play music then a SE is your best bet, although the Nokia 5310 is cheap and has a 3.5 mm jack (:

my bet is the W350 coz of its walkman abilities and low price tag PLUS its a Sony Ericsson.

But you can get a 5310 for about the same price which is a much better phone IMO. And apparently the W350 is mono but it's just what I heard.

A great bang for your buck are the K810i, C702 and W760. Play music, good camera and great features. Plus they are on the market for a while so the FW has matured.

I personally think the C702 is overpriced at £160

T700 was not offically available in English speaking countries last time I looked.
