I've been on speakout for about a month and am loving it so far. Using a 1661 for now, but would like something more robust. I'm mostly texting, so I'm looking for a good texting phone. Do I have to limit myself to a C3? I'd like something under $50 new or used doesn't matter to me. Any suggestions? I've been eying the Rumor as it's cheap and seems ok. Can this be used if its unlocked? What do I have to look for to make sure a phone can work with speakout? Any old balckberry should work too I assume?

I am still partial to the Nokia E series, especially the Nokia E71. They are built like a tank, and are pretty cheap to get on kijiji. If you get a Rogers branded E71, you do not have to do anything to configure them to work with Speakout.

I do not like Korean phones, they tend not to last long, and the interface is always random.
