so i need a new phone

done with iphone and blackberry
would prefer something a little cheaper
that $40/50 charge for data is not necessary for me.

does anyone know of a decent phone which you can pick up for say $200-300 thats got some decent features, but still stays small, and most importantly, is durable!

Looks kinda similar to the T-mobile G1... Does that thing have Wi-Fi?

same boat. AT&T has great phones, but I am done trying to find a carrier that has good signal quality. Verizon almost always seems to work.

The new blackberry looks awesome, but again $400/year .. just to surf the web isn't worth it for me. I'm just going to wait till the prices come down before I jump into a data plan with Verizon

looks good, but im still on iphone contract, so that would cost me in excess of $500

I used to have VZW, but I kept getting dropped calls so I dropped their service. Needless to say I get it through work. I haven't seen my own cell phone bill since 2001
