Best Smart Phone for $200 (ATT service)

[Tacoboy]

I'm currently using a Nokia 6350 flip phone.
My sister will buy me a smart phone, But I do not want her to spend more then $200.

I'm leaning towards a Andriod, but I would not mind hearing about BlackBerrys.
GPS would be nice (thinking of moving to New Zealand).
And a keyboard.

Well, for Android, the best choice (With a keyboard) would be the Motorola Backflip.

A Blackberry Bold or Torch would be the better Blackberry.

If you're thinking of moving to NZ, you might want to check out some phones from there.

If you absolutely need a keyboard, your choices are either the Backflip or the Flipside (also Motorola), or any of the Blackberries.

If you think you can go without one, take a look at the Captivate or the Aria. The best thing is to go into the store and play around with a few, and see what you like best. You probably won't find a phone over $200 (atleast after rebate).

The backflip is now a blacklisted phone that most stores will no longer be carrying and the flipside is not in most att stores yet. You have the option for the Moto Flipout which all stores are pretty much carrying. Although I hate the design of that phone. I would say Captivate for a android phone.

Flipout - 79.99 on a new 2 year contract
Backflip on line -49.99 New 2 year
Captivate 199.99 2 year
Aria 129.99 2 year
BB Torch 9800-99.99 2 year
Pearl 3G- 149.99 after $100 rebate

So Palm isn't an option for you? I love my Pre+ tho it is nolonger my main phone.
That honor now goes to my Streak.

How much is the Sony Ericson X10 on contract? Not more then 200 right?
You can get X10 minis an mini pros that are AT&T 3g compatible online for around 250 off contract.

Slight change

I guess I do not really need a built in keyboard
It looks like lots of smart phone have a virtual keyboard.
