Right now, this phone sells online, with a 2 year tract for 19.99 ( plus tax .. if you live in California it will run about 35.00 to 37.00 total because the tax is based on full phone price )

It is available through pre-paid for a substantially higher price. I am not sure what that amount is, I ordered it with a 2 year Tract.

I started with the Palm Centro, though you need data to send picture messages... Then I got the Samsung Glyde, which is not able to save pictures that are sent to you, or save the message which it is contained in... Now I ordered the Blitz, which does not need data to send picture messages and you can save the pictures with are sent to you in text.

I know someone with this phone, it does have a few down falls... Unless you 4 digit code security lock it, it could easily unlock the screen ( hitting "ok, ok" ) and possibly turn on internet, send messages or even dial out... Best bet is to 4 digit code lock the phone then you can avoid those crazy data charges, unless of course you have the unlimited data plan...
