Looking for inexpensive phone with video play / qwerty / large screen

[alohascott]

I am looking for an inexpensive phone that has larger screen and playback of several video formats and a full keyboard.
Not concerned with rate plans / carriers at the moment just the best phone.

Generally speaking, the larger the screen the more expensive the phone will be since the screen is one of the more expensive component of a phone.

I suppose I would look at Verizon's Motorola Droid 3 for $200.

 

[alohascott]

Hoping to find something in the $100 range.
without a plan.
that phone is several hundred dollars.

I am currently with boost and they have a plan with unlimited android use for $55 a month.
that sounds good to me.

how do i know if the phone i buy will work with boost?

You need to buy the pre-paid phone from Boost.

I suppose if you buy an unlocked pre-paid phone the works on a CDMA network, you can probably use it with Boost. However, unlocked phones are generally more expensive than locked phones because... they are unlocked.

You can look at the Boost Mobile BMRIM8530 BlackBerry Curve 8530 for $118:

Aloha
thanks for the suggestions.
i think 320x240 display is not enough for my needs.
how about something with a little higher resolution?

 

[jaguarskx]

Well, I would go to Boost's website and take a look at what phones they have available and then see if Amazon or other sites sell's it for less.

getting a phone with both qwerty and large screen with high resolution is impossible for that price.sacrifice the qwerty and go for the nokia 500.it has got a good high-resolution capacitive touch screen,which could compete with physical qwerty keyboards.
