Hi, I'm new to the forum and thought this would be a perfect place for my question. I'm looking for a used unlocked phone that I can buy online on ebay. I've been looking for a long time but can't seem to find the right one.

My requirements in order of priority are:
1. cheap ($130 max on ebay after shipping)
2. good reception / no dropped calls
3. music player (with microSD)
4. 240x320 resolution to play games (or 320x240, are these interchangeable?)
5. clamshell design

I also want a camera on it but I'm sure most phones out now have that. I recently tried the LG CU500 and everything was good except that the reception for me was terrible with dropped calls so I realized this is very important to me. I was looking at the Nokia 5300 and everything seems great, but since it is not clamshell designs I have been reading that the screen cracks easily. I think the Nokia 6263 looked good also but it was a little pricy.

Can anyone help? I'm going crazy looking for phones. Thanks!

The Samsung Beat and T639 are good cheap phones with music player, camera and reception. They are both "flip" phones and durable. I've also found Samsung to have pretty good call quality. The Beat has external controls for the music player which is a nice touch. They both take MicroSD cards as well. I am unsure of the screen resolution, though. Hope this helps a little.
