So anyone out there got a T-mobile smart phone they've upgraded from that they may be interested in selling fairly cheap?

I've got a lead on a very cheap Tmobile G1, but its going to need a new speaker which I have read is a common issue on them. Before I pick up that one though, I just thought I'd see if anyone else has anything that might interest me.

I would really prefer an android platform as Tmobile has had a lot of them, but I'm open to others like a WinMobile phone (maybe) depending on what phone it is.

My requirements
- It must have WiFi
- It must have BT and preferably support voice dialing
- It must have full rendering HTML web browser support
- Touch screen is nice
- MS outlook sync would be a plus

I'm not looking to break the bank here as I'm hoping at some point in the near future, my company (who pays my cell bill) will finally allow me to get a data plan and I can upgrade to a new smartphone, but at the moment since I don't have a data plan, I'm not allowed to actually upgrade to a smart phone via Tmobile since they require a data plan with that option.

I could possible trade my 16gig iPhone 3G unlocked (3.1.2) for the right droid phone, but its got a few issues to be noted. The wifi on it works sporadically at best and the last time I took it apart, I messed up the LCD screen a bit in the lower left corner. :( I've been meaning to order the parts to fix the screen as its pretty easy to fix. I'm not sure on the wifi on why its intermittent.

I've been switching between my Blackberry Pearl and iPhone, but I hate texting on the Pearl and the iPhone with no wifi and no data plan is pretty useless other then an Ipod and a phone. haha

Unfortunately, all of T-mobile's smart phones suck. They are releasing a halfway decent one next month (the Samsung Vibrant), but I think that you'll find the rest of their lineup very underwhelming.

I am very seriously considering leaving them at the end of this year when my contract runs up.

Tmobile actually has a pretty big line of android phones and other smart phones, especially when you compare to AT&T. Granted not all of them are top of the line, but I wasn't looking for the latest and greatest, just something to hold me over.

That Samsung Vibrant (aka Galaxy S) does look pretty nice. AT&T is also getting it and it actually looks like the 1st nice droid phone they are getting. Sprint is getting the "pro" version with the pull out keyboard. Verizon is actually the last one of the big 4 scheduled to get that phone.
