Used or New, I want to get an idea of what kind of phones are available nowadays around that price. I have a Nokia 5800, it's been working great and all, but I think I'd like the upgrade to a more actively updated OS. I was looking for Pre's on ebay, but noticed the ratings here on battery aren't great. Then I remembered most early Android's didn't have great battery either.

Apparently, there's an issue with this phone whereby after the screen is locked or 'sleeps', horizontal or vertical lines appear on the screen. I'm currently experiencing this issue and it is quite annoying.
