My Samsung phone only cost $10 after the mail in rebate. It works fine most of the time, but it doesn't have an external antennae. It seems to lose reception more often than my old Nokia phone. The camera on it is kind of fun, but I rarely use it. The flip phones seem less sturdy than the one piece phones that are ancient now. Overall good value though. I don't invest much in phones, because I drop my phones at the worst times.
