Best looking party/weekend phone

I've decided to get a party/weekend phone for when I don't want to lug around the ol SK3. Here are my criteria:

>budget: $200
>phone not typically seen here. It can be a phone that's sold here, but at least in a different color.
>GSM (I only care about 1900)
>fairly new to the market
>looks, looks, looks
>camera (don't care about megapixels)
>music player would be nice, but not necessary.
>looks, looks, looks
>could sell back on ebay 6-8 weeks later for roughly the same price I paid for it.

I'd also appreciate a link. Any ideas?

Thanks!
 
I really like that phone, but all but one color is here in the USA, and I'm starting to see it a lot.

I just took a look at Motorola's unlocked store, and they have PEBLs for $139....not bad. I don't see too many of them here, and they even have exclusive colors. However, I looked on eBay, and it looks like I could sell it back for what I paid, but I probably could if I got it in Maroon.

I'm also going to look at the Nokia 5200, for I have seen it sell pretty cheap.

Any other ideas?
 
Actually Cingular carries the blue KRZR and T-Mobile carries the silver one. You could get unlocked/unbranded one on eBay in blue, silver, or black.
 
That was my point-- T-Mobile has the quartz one, AT&T blue, Verizon black and red, and Sprint black. The only color not sold here is the gold one.

I have yet to see one that's in my budget of $200. I've never purchased on ebay, and I'm a little apprehensive to try. Is it okay to buy unlocked phones from people on there?
 
As long as you are buying from reputable sellers, you will be okay. My N73 is an used phone I got from eBay.

Here are some examples from eBay:

Blue one: $173.98 + $17.99 S&H
Quartz one: $179.89 + $17.99 S&H
 
Are the mobiles on eBay usually cheaper than the plethora of import mobile sites out there, such as wirelessimports.com, puremobile.com, cellularconcepts.com, phonesourceusa.com, etc.?
