Which phone of theirs do you use? Looking at the Dash 5.5, its specs are far below average (5mp back camera, 4 GB internal storage, 512 MB RAM, 1.3GHz processor, etc). Then again, the price is around $120 off-contract, which is cheap, but you get what you pay for.

I'm looking at the Sharp Aquos Crystal, which has a unique design (no top or side bezels, camera on bottom bezel) and is prepaid (pay-as-you-go, essentially). Page on Best Buy

However, I'm still leaning much closer to saving further for a higher-end device.
