In the wireless industry theres been a lot of smartphones released and lately most have been priced above $200. Its no mystery why this is, of course, the better the technology, the higher the cost. The styling might have something to do with it too. Though, if youre not all into paying more than $200 for a smartphone, here we have some good ole devices that are sure to be worth your every buck.

First up, we have the Palm Centro. This phone is not the latest, but it is a good phone indeed. It has a touch screen and if youre a business-body, the Centro works great with e-mails. It has a full qwerty keyboard, which means that messaging will be easy too and when you can get this phone for an average $50, I think its a good bargain. It is available in Electric Blue, Odsidian black, Glacier White, Olive green, Vibrant Rose and in some places you can find it in Pink.
The next smartphone that wont put a big dent on your pocket is the infamous Blackberry Curve. For starters, I think the Blackberry brand pretty much tells you that this smartphone is one of the best out there. It still has a spot in the top smartphones of the year since it first debuted back in May 2007. Although this phone does not have a touchscreen the blackberry interface makes it a master of messaging an e-mail. The phone itself looks good too. It is available in Titanium, Red, Silver, Black, and pale Gold. This is one you can consider an old favorite.
There are many other smartphones that you can find for under 100 bucks. All it takes is some good bargain hunting, specially because of forecasted tough economic times to come, most of us are looking to save as much money as possible for the neccesities of life, and we all know, having a cellphone is a necessity! ;
