Nokia 1100.

Really cheap: MX$690, with MX$500 of air time. (that's about US$65 and US$45 respectively)

Far smaller and lighter than my old 5120. :D
 
Not bad

This one is mine

Paid £300 (GBP) for it about 9 months ago. It's Pay As You Go not contract which is why I paid so much. No monthly bills has it's advantages though.

Yeah, mine's prepaid too (I had to buy the phone too), I dislike contracts :D

Also, I have this "do not buy stuff other than Nokia's" really fixed on my mind. :D :D :D
 
I was about to buy an LG about a year ago, then I found it didn't have an FCC id so I decided to take the safe path (it had the NOM logo but I don't trust that). Much has been said about radiation, and there's no certainty of whether it is harmful or not, so it is better for me to take the safest path, or at least the regulated path by the FCC (that's a SAR of 1.6 max).

This new one has a SAR of 0.39 AFAIK.

According to the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA), SAR or specific absorption rate is "a way of measuring the quantity of radiofrequency (RF) energy that is absorbed by the body." For a phone to pass FCC certification, that phone's maximum SAR level must be less than 1.6W/kg (watts per kilogram). The SAR level listed in our chart represents the maximum SAR level with the phone next to the ear, a level obtained through required FCC tests.

It's important to note that in publishing this list are we in no way implying that cell-phone use is or isn't harmful to your health. The jury is still out, research is ongoing, and we will continue to monitor its results.
