Need a 2nd phone... Opinions?
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Ok I just received my 8125 this weekend, and I sold my RAZR to a friend for $100 out of pity (I know I should have kept it for my 2nd). My question is, I need a decent 2nd phone for my drunken nights and backpacking trips. I need something small (preferably no protruding antenna) that can handle a drop from 3-4 feet every once in a while (my RAZR was excellent at handling these falls). I am looking at spending no more than $50 used. What are some suggestion for decent cheap phones? Cingular network of course.

Try maybe a Nokia 3220b. It's rugged, so crazy drunks and yetis are within the demographic. Very compact too. A Nokia 6230 is not out of the question either, if you can find a used one within the price range.

6010. Only $30. That's what I am going to get for my drunken nights

I want a 3300, just because they have a keyboard, mp3 player ( i think ), and a radio. I have my razr for all of my other stuffs.

I used to have one when I was with Cingular. Pretty good phone & it is pretty durable. I had a nice bike wreck with it in my pocket, scratched up the back (through my shorts) but everything else works fine. A friend of mine has one, we enjoy stomping it (yes I'm serious, he hates that phone). So it should stand up to those drunken nights

6010 or 3595 basically the same phone is a TANK. plenty of my drunken friends still have theres with minimal damage

i have a 6200 which is also awesome at drunk nights

i've dropped it in the pisser, thrown it off walls and dropped it plenty of times and its still ticking

You can get a new Prepaid Nokia 6010 for $70 or $30 for a refurb prepaid one. That is going to be your best bet.

I thought he wanted something small, neither the 6010 and 3595 are small phones. The 6200 is actually a very good choice as well, as someone mentioned.
