Need phone reccomendations!

[ctsoth]

Hello,

I just switched over to T-Mobile's $50 [Unlimited Talk/Text 100mb internet] prepaid plan, and I'm still using an ancient Samsung flip phone that is nearing the end of its days.

The quandary is I have a limited budget, and I don't know enough about the phone market to spend my money wisely. For a maximum budget of lets say 100-150 dollars what are my best options?

I have no qualms with e-bay or other e-tailers.

My usage typically consists of extensive air time, extensive texting, and to this date no internet usage at all. My internet usage in the future will likely consist of e-mail only.

Thank you for your help,

Chris

Edit: I wouldn't mind having a full keyboard.

check out swappa for HTC G2s. there are a bunch around/under $150.

battery is the only weak point, but if you keep background data off & only use it for checking your email, it should be fine for a day.

Nexus S hands down, seen plenty on craigslist in your price range, I think it may have gotten the JB update already.
