What phone should I get?

[JUGGERNAUT]

I want a phone mainly to text friends. The other lesser requirements would be the ability to make an emergency call and get on the internet like facebook or google. I really don't care for any apps or games or video and picture storage; although it be nice if I could play music on it. Anyways I want something that's relatively cheap for the initial purchase ($200 is my max) and that does not cost anything per month. Any suggestions?

I'm going to give you some ideas based on older phones I've had, which nowadays are relatively cheap, but are still good phones. I'm only going to list GSM (SIM card) phones, because they are more versatile.

I've had a Palm Pre 2 (GSM model) which was a very good phone, WebOS Music, Internet, etc etc everything anyone needs in a phone. You can find one on eBay for around $80-$200.

The Samsung Blackjack 2 was a very good little phone with Windows Mobile 5.0. I has basically everything except Wi-Fi. Pretty cheap on eBay as well.

The Danger Sidekicks were all pretty reliable and fun phones, which are nowadays around $60 brand new because they've become obsolete without access to the internet. Other than that they have music, pics, etc with a great keyboard, even though it's really just raised rubber bumps, on a rubber sheet. The models LX 07, 08, LX 09, were all good and I'd recommend as a simple phone, or backup ohone.

The phones I've listed are all GSM, and have QWERTY keyboards, since you like to text. You can find inexpensive, but good plans with reliable service through T-Mobile Prepaid.

Hope this helps
