Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
I just wish AT&T or any GSM carrier would release a GSM version of this phone. Or at least something similar. What is the deal with no similar GSM offerings? (Save for maybe the Sidekicks on T-Mo.) My wife can't find a single phone on AT&T that she likes that doesn't require a data plan or have a much higher purchase price to negate the requirement for a data plan.
I got my daughter a refurb Blackberry Curve off the AT&T website for $0. I told them i didn't want the data plan and just unlimited texting. They had no problem with not having a data plan.
The phone came in excellent condition and you would be hard pressed to tell it from a new curve. Maybe this isn't up your alley but, the main point is you can get a phone with a qwerty keyboard from AT&T without a data plan.
