Nokia 6010

Great reception, above average sound quality (then again, I'm not picky)

$119.99 before taxes..

Or you can go to Target and get the GoPhone Package of Nokia 6010 for $70.00 before taxes.

See if you can find a SE T616 or T637 I believe these should be under $200. The Motorola E398 is also a good pick.

Or other option find out how much the screen costs for the phone you dropped

If you had phone insurance, it would only have been a $50 deductible to get a replacement phone.

Buy a GoPhone package and use that phone for a while.

see this was a issue i used to have it but they said Nokia 6620 was NOT insurable but then other half said it was so i didn't know what to belive do i just droped it off plan..

Get a clamshell phone; screens are better protected than on candybar phones. I lost count on how many Nokias an SE phones I've seen with juicy screens.

On the other hand, if you love the 6620 so much, have you thought about the possibility of having your phone repaired? I'd try calling a Nokia service center, and tell them what happened to the screen, and see if they can give you an estimate on repair costs/timeframe.

Ever considered getting the LCD repaired on the phone ? Or repairing it yourself ? Would be cheaper and you would have a better phone.

I would buy a 3120 off of eBay. They are going for around $75 (or less) brand new. Great small phone with awesome reception and battery life. Much nicer screen than the 6010 too.

Edit: Also, the 3220 looks pretty freaky and it's going for a little bit more.

Replacing the screen on a candy bar phone is usually easy to do yourself (I have never done it on a Nokia, only on a Siemens and an SE, and it took about 10 minutes). A replacement screen should go for around $50 and you also need the T6 screwdriver for another couple of bucks.
