Good phone under $200 (AT&T customer)

Well, my Z520a's LCD screens just went out...AGAIN. First time it was replaced under warranty, the replacement I got had a mic problem (person on other end could not hear me, though I could hear them, not a signal issue), so this is my THIRD phone. And now its no longer under warranty, so I have to pay for a phone earlier than I'd anticipated.

Looking for a phone that plays MP3s, has a good camera (1+ MP, preferably 2MP, but not mandatory). Through AT&T I'm considering the A717 or V3xx, so thats my price range. I don't really like the design of either phone, so I'd prefer something in the same price range with the same or better features with a better design. Also preferrably flip. Looking for recommendations for phones people have actually used and have direct experience with.

Thanks!
 
Sony Ericsson W810i if you can still find them. I have heard they are being pulled, but some stores still have them. Dedicated MP3 player, 2 megapixel camera and the Sony Ericsson UI you know and love. Not a flip though.
 
I spent 30 minutes on the phone, plus an hour playing MP3s, and the battery still has 7 bars on it. I'm not seeing the problems some people complain about.

Of course, I reset packet data to "as needed" for one thing, and I don't live in a 3G area for another, so that may be increasing battery life.
