Little sis wanting to hop on Go Phone with a decent texting phone. Looking for around $100 new or used on ebay/amazon/whatever.

It needs:
Horizontally sliding out keyboard
Decent camera
Slim. Slimmer than my 3G she says haha


Any help would be greatly appreciated!

In that price range you're gonna be hard pressed... but here's a couple options.

My wife has an LG Neon - its a GoPhone and can be had at Walmart for under $100 new. But hers is psycho and likes to restart itself for no reason. BUT... it has better reception than any AT&T phone we've ever owned; it's the only one we've ever been able to reliable use inside our house.

I have the Samsung Impression - really happy with it. Bigger than the LG and lots more features; it was the nicest one I could find that did NOT have to have data (we have no 3G at all here, and Edge just sucks - I'm sure not paying for that!). My only real complaint is it scratches way too easily. You can find it used on eBay for $150 or so if you look. I think I paid $49 with contract for a new one.

My two cents...

Thanks for the advice!
The Samsung Impression seem like it may be a bit big in the pocket for her though, so I think I'll tell her save up a little more.

Anyone have ideas for that in the $100-180 or so range?
