my fiance is looking for a new phone, it can be used older model, she doesn't care. She likes the old school qwerty keyboard, needs to document experiments and tests with the phone so 3mp+ camera is needed more is better, SD card capable or at least 16gb as she has lots of ebooks, and audio books. Not too big since she says most women's shorts and pants don't have pockets or small pockets. GSM/Tmobile. What are some possible candidates? Thanks

The LG Optimus F3Q hits all your requirements and can be had for less than $100 on Ebay.

With that said, if it was a female I cared about, I would explain to her that qwerty keyboards have really gone away as an option and then I would push her HARD towards a iPhone 5s 64GB I scored on swappa. It is probably the phone she really needs.

This is what I ended up doing. My wife says she has no idea how she lived without a smartphone now, even if she still gets angry with the keyboard sometimes.
