If you want it to be really cheap you could get one second hand. You could pick up a t68i second hand for a good price

Try Motorola V60, it sells for around $80 (with the prepaid SIM and $50 worth of minutes) at CompUSA.

GSM I presume, not CDMA?

You'd be best off buying a phone that supports both 850 and 1900 mhz band if you are going to use it mainly in the Americas (on GSM) Like T228 (if that's the right model number...)

Yup! It would definitely an SE T68i! Cheap indeed, since it is already an old model. If given other choice, a Nokia 7250 is a good suggestion as well, old model, cheaper price.

T610 is a good option

@jontyf- I guess the SE T610 is still quite expensive right now, the SE T68i is still the best choice here + the Nokia 7250, I guess ???
