That seems like a lot for the sort of LCD screen, 2G+WAP, t9 phone, but
I always bought phones with a contract and a discount.

Best phone I had back then was a Nokia 8260 - a tiny little candybar
phone that worked on the legacy AT&T Wireless TDMA network with fallback
to analog. It'd roam to Verizon's analog network in areas that AT&T
didn't cover, so I *never* was without signal.

It was a shame that they killed that network and moved everything to
GSM.
