Need a temporary replacement phone on TMo

Okay, here's the deal. My upgrade will be for Nov. 12, but my phone is no longer working right. What I want is a phone I can activate with my TMo plan, and still have my full upgrade to use next month.

I'm not wanting to spend too much... but I want a functional phone for the next month. Any ideas?

I'd say just look on craigslist for a cheap functioning phone to use until the upgrade. In my area I see tons of decent nokia and motorola phones for sale everday that are pretty cheap. Granted you can't get your email etc like on you bb, but for the price and amount of time you need it seems worth it!

A cheap prepaid phone would work because your only keeping it for a short time. Pop in your sim and enjoy until you get the phone you really want.

You can even find cheap GSM bbs on ebay too. After my SK broke, I got an unlocked 7290 from ebay for 40 bucks, free shipping. You could probably find a cheap pearl or something like that.
Or get a Razr. I've seen them go for 30-40 bucks on ebay...GSM ones and CDMA. Very cheap.

Okay, well, I went to Walmart and got a prepaid phone for 19.99. I guess I could use my old 7100t blackberry if I really get desparate for email and internet, but I'd have to get a charger for it.....
