Posts: n/a occasional travel to Europe (will buy in-country SIM when I get there). The sole criteria are reliability and RF/audio performance. No need for the latest model with games, web access, bluetooth, etc. I'm willing to consider used, as well. Is it possible to obtain such a beast for less than US$100?
