    My sister is looking for a new GSM cell phone, and I thought I could ask you guys :). I will +rep -- I know it can be time-consuming.

    Here's a list of requirements that she is looking for:
    • New phone that is compatible with T-Mobile/Unlocked without contract
    • $105 (give or take) shipped and below
    • Touch screen
    • Wifi capable
    • Doesn't care if it is from eBay or anything as long as it is some semi-well-known brand I guess.


    Here's a list of preferences that she likes:
    • Color can be anything, but her favorite is green. Red or not a too-bright pink is also more preferred, although this really doesn't matter as much.
    • She prefers no physical keyboard (just onboard), so I'm assuming that this also means any screen 2.5" or up is okay.


    I know she is asking for a lot for a little $$, but if you guys can something, that would be great (+rep)! Thanks a bunch :)

    There's a nice price on a Samsung Vibrant, everything she's looking for except the color. Auction ends in a bit less than 2 days though.

    And I know that she's not looking for something with a contract, but if she reconsiders, Amazon has awesome deals with that kind of stuff. In any case, good luck finding her a nice phone!

    Thanks for the Vibrant. If I can get that under $100 for her, that would be great, but if not, I am also looking for Vibrants :)

    I got the HTC HD2 :D -- I'm going to install Android and then have a boot-loader just boot it up automatically. Basically an Android phone now :)


    EDIT: Still looking for a phone for my sister, will +rep
