Best T-mobile phone

hey guys, i was wondering what the best t-mobile phone out there is. I had the v60, but it was stolen at the gym. I'm prob just gonna go ebay and get a used one. I don't need anything fancy like camera, maybe not even color. I was thinking Nokia 8890, it is 400 new, but ebay is cheaper. What do you think

8890 is a classic you can't go wrong with. If you can get out of your contract now w/o penalty, get a new, but same as your old, TMobile plan through Amazon. Just use a diff. CC and you can almost get the E715 for free, which by the way is a very nice phone, or you can wait for the V600.

i just got the e715 but i also have a nokia 6610. i like both phones the same.

i love the speaker phone option on the nokia, and i love the camera on the samsung. the e715 is nice and small so i'm happy with it.

Thanks for the info guy, i prob am not going to get anything fancy since i'm in college and don't want it to get stolen again. So it's prob between used 8890 or 8390. I know the 8890 is cooler with the pull down face, but how is the 8390. Is it compatible with T_Mobile is the main question. Thanks

according to Phone Scoop, it's not offered by t-mobile but since it's GSM, call them and see what they say. They told me once that I could use any GSM phone, even if I didn't get the phone from them, which means they might allow that 8390.

Will definitely work on T-Mobile. Anything with a frequency of GSM 1900.
