My Note II originally had a 32 gig SDXC (I believe) but it didn't work, so watch out for that.
As for budget phones, are you looking for a smartphone (I assume you are)? Android, Windows, Blackberry?
For Android I'd probably go with Samsung.
The S3 mini is only about 50 euro out of your price range, and the Ace 2 fits exactly in the upper bound.
For Windows, no contest but to go Nokia AFAIK. The 620 sits in your price range IIRC.
Finally I know **** all about Blackberries.

I have a Lumia 620 myself, and it's not too shabby at all. Quite a few review sites have maintained it as the champion of budget phones, alongside the 520.
The 620's speakers are nothing special, gets a tad bit shrill at higher volumes. Haven't tested out the earphones, but I'll assume that it's as average as it can get, give or take a few points. It does the job of a music player well enough, and as a bonus has a pretty decent back camera as well as a front camera, which is rare for budget phones. Honestly the biggest draw of the phone is the OS. Absolutely love it. Fast, sleek, has all the apps and games I'll ever need.
There are a couple sites you could use as reference for comparing the 620 and 520:

If you're willing to spend a couple more bucks there are better alternatives as well(though not necessarily better value for money), such as the Lumia 720. It's a gorgeous phone, really. Reminds me of the 800.

. Never understood why there's only Indians doing these things.It's also worth noting that Nokia's Asha series are making headways as excellent budget phones. No WP OS though.
The Asha 501 was released a couple of weeks ago. Dual-SIM, incredible battery life, colorful and swappable covers, has all the essentials. Looks to be a decent phone with a ridiculously low price tag. Might want to check it out if you really want to cut down your costs, or just want a good backup phone.
