I have been shopping around for a new, unlocked GSM phone. I live in the US, so these are not as readily available as they are in the rest of the civilized world.

The criteria I have can be summed up easily:

  • Candybar/brick: I have learned to hate flip phones
  • Tri-Band: 900/1800/1900 (no 850 for me!) for largest range of coverage
  • Keypad for easy text messaging

So far, I have narrowed the search down to three options:

  • Sony Ericsson J200i
  • Motorola C650
  • Motorola T68i
  • Motorola L6 (A boy has to dream!)

If anyone knows of any other candidates, or has domments on my shortlist, they would be appreciated.
