Smartphone/Netbook help...?

Ok I am thinking of going travelling for about three months and don't really want to carry my 15 inch Dell XPS M1530 laptop around with me due to weight and cost. The thing is I check my email daily and will want to transfer photos to show family how i'm getting along. I might be in the middle of nowhere as I am thinking of working at a Camp in america but it might have wifi or be within signal. I will probably get an american sim card to use in a smartphone or my current phone.

I have been looking at Smart phones and 8 inch netbooks.

I want something that can be used to transfer photos from sd cards to email/ internet and general blogging and emailing so it has to have a usable keyboard.

The problem is I have a maximum budget of £200 but much prefer if it is cheaper as I will be scared that I will lose it.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    I would take a look at the Eee PCs 900A, 900HA, and 901. They are perfect travel size. They are the 8.9 inch models, and running incredibly well. They have atheros wireless chipsets which are top of the line wireless chipsets. You can also pick between the Linux (Xandros) and Windows XP operating systems.
