I have an LG CU500 that I got unlocked off eBay for about $60, used but in pristine condition. It had a great 1.3 MP camera, nice sized screen, and great call/speaker quality.
Unfortunately, the camera has recently died (now showing weird colors) and I need to replace it. Can anyone recommend a similar quality camera phone at close to the same price? I could get another CU500, but there's a few things that I don't like about the phone, such as the microSD card slot (located under the battery) and the fact that it can't use standard MP3s as ringtones.
The two major things I look for in a phone (besides price) is good call quality and a decent camera (at least 1.3 MP with good photo quality). I'm using T-Mobile's prepaid service, so it needs to be a GSM phone.
Thanks!
I've found a lot of sites selling and listing features for phones, but I know that a good feature list does not equate to a good phone- I'm hoping to hear of others' recommendations from personal experience.
As far as the MP3 ringtones, my old Motorola SLVR L6 (slow phone, crappy camera, if you're wondering) did allow the use of any MP3 on the phone as a ringtone, which is why I was quite surprised that the CU500 isn't as flexible. But that's not a killer point for me.
