FOUND ONE! -> WTB - GSM Cell Phone
Looking for a medium to low end gsm cell phone. Specifically for fido, but better if it is unlocked (or easy to unlock). I have a fido phone right now, but the battery life is basically non existant, so batter must be in good condition. Looking to spend no more then $200 max, but hoping for something decent, closer to $100.
Ideally, im looking for a flip phone with the 850 band.
Let me know what you got 
------------------
Edit,
Thanks, found one.

For good battery life, grab the newer Nokia phones! You can find decent colour screen phones for pretty cheap on ebay etc. 3595 is around $50ish. Simens M55 is around that as well. Since you are in fido now, I would invest in something with 850/1900 instead of 1900 only. Be sure to have 850 in there to take advantage of kick ass rogers coverage.

Fido only offering the free roaming on Rogers until end of February.
Extra $5/fee afterwards or so it says on Fido FAQ.

Yea, thats why I want the 850, so i can see if it makes much of a difference where i use the phone.
Thanks for the info!
