    Alright, so last week my 2nd RAZR phone flew off a rollercoaster at Six Flags. Super x.x
    The 1st one went through the washing machine, and I didn't realize until after I took the clothes out of the dryer.

    But both times I had special deals that allowed me to buy the phone for $50. Now I see on Amazon that it's $85. Can someone recommend cheaper phones, considering I am pretty unreliable, and don't want to keep spending money on new ones x.x
    Skinny phones that can fit in my pants pocket are preferred, but whatever.

    Thanks in advance.

    I dunno if it's discounted, but I got a Samsung Rant a few months ago. The phone is only $50 I think. It's an amazing phone, great features and a nice keyboard =] I would reccomend it to anyone, it's a great phone xD

    Oh, and this phone is pretty hard to break too... and if it can fit in my skin tight super skinny jean pockets, then I'm sure it can fit in anyone's pockets.

    It would help to know your service provider. :p AT&T, verizon. sprint...?

    That's the price with a 2 year contract. Tofurky isn't buying with a contract (or at least thats what it sounds like), which makes phones a lot more expensive.

    Gah, true! Well, what about the Rumor? Couldn't you get that one for cheap now, since it's like extremely out-dated? Keyboard phones are great :p

    That phone is a bit big, in my opinion. Plus, it's sprint exclusive. x) it's about $50+ on ebay.

    I really dislike text messaging (I always just call to respond), unless I'm in a silent situation.
    So keyboard phones are not something I would want.

    Sorry for not saying, my provider is AT&T, and I'm not buying/renewing a contract because I'm on a family plan.
    Anyone else have any ideas?
