Best phone for under $100?

I don't want to spend too much money on the phone because i am cheap. What is the best phone you guys recommend?

LG Chocolate VX8550? $60 for 2 year contract.

I want a PDA type. I doubt i can get a PDA for $100. The main page for verizon has blackberry pearl for $99 but i think you have to sigup for email service which is 79.99.

you can use it as a phone and organizer -- if you want email that may incur a fee

The samsung U540 or the LG-VX8350 will have the best reliability and call quality record. The ENV (VX-9900) with your loyalty credit should be under $100 and is full featured with the best battery life available. Of course the new chocolate (vx-8550) gets high marks too. Don't forget, you get a loyalty credit through Verizon (if your the primary line) which should keep most all phones under $100. If you go online they take care of the mail in rebate. If you want the phone today tell the sales person you want the online price and don't "do" mail-in rebates, sometimes they will help you out in-store.
