Finalgear....I need phone advice.

[Blayde]

doesnt that depend on if you buy the phone from them?

I'd recommend a Sony Ericsson J102i Elm Greenheart

I'm pretty sure all US carriers force you to pay for a data plan if you have a smartphone.

T-Mobile lets you use your own GSM phone on their prepaid plans (perhaps their postpaid plans too, but I've personally been using their prepaid service since 2005). He can buy an unlocked smartphone and never pay for data.

Given that the backup phone isn't in the best condition, I went for a Samsung Monte slider off of Amazon. I get to test whether being a quad-band GSM phone is all I need for it to work here.

Wait for the Wildfire successor

Is there really much difference between the upcoming Wildfire S and the Wildfire that is out now?

Huawei U8880?

Supposed to be a reasonably good budget Android phone. Looks reasonably well specced.
