Relatively cheap Android phones?

I'm in the market for a new phone and I'm liking the look of Android OS so far. my budget is around $250.

I need wifi, 3g, >=2 megapixel camera, micro sd card slot, bluetooth. Ideally i'd like a qwerty keyboard but i might make an exception on that, GPS would be nice, 3.5 mm audio jack would be nice too, but not necessary.

i might try get it online, unlocked and contract free...not sure on that yet

any suggestions?

Motorola Backflip. ~$100 with a contract if you are OK with one.

sorry, probably should've mentioned that, i'm not really ok with a contract, i just find it much easier to stick with pay as you go. thanks though.

edit: although that phone does look really nice, and seems fairly available and cheaply on ebay.

Yeah I'm not mad on the tattoo. But the more i look at this Motorola Backflip the more i like it, looks like you can get it unlocked and sim free on ebay for around $280. seems pretty good to me.

I have a Tattoo and I like it... I'd say the real downside to it is no camera autofocus and low resolution.

The Xperia Mini Pro is very nice, but I'm sure it fits your specifications exactly. I know it runs Android and has a keyboard, nor do I know of the price, but it does run with cheap contracts, so I'm sure its pretty cheap.

That does look pretty sweet, seems a fair bit more expensive than my budget though.

It'll be upgraded to 2.1 by September.

As for now, it doesn't really bother me much. The only app I really want that I can't get it the NYT Reader app.
