Looking for a medium to low end gsm cell phone. Specifically for fido, but better if it is unlocked (or easy to unlock). I have a fido phone right now, but the battery life is basically non existant, so batter must be in good condition. Looking to spend no more then $200 max, but hoping for something decent, closer to $100.

Ideally, im looking for a flip phone with the 850 band.

Let me know what you got :)

Edit,

Thanks, found one.

For good battery life, grab the newer Nokia phones! You can find decent colour screen phones for pretty cheap on ebay etc. 3595 is around $50ish. Simens M55 is around that as well. Since you are in fido now, I would invest in something with 850/1900 instead of 1900 only. Be sure to have 850 in there to take advantage of kick ass rogers coverage.

Yea, thats why I want the 850, so i can see if it makes much of a difference where i use the phone.

Thanks for the info!
