At $120, I'd spend a few dollars more and get an older genuine model. I just sold one here for $150, and there are lots out there if you keep your eyes open.

I took your advice and just ordered a Nokia C3 from Rogers (don't have a Rogers dealer where I live, I checked everywhere, Walmart had a couple of phones but not the C3). It should take a week to get here, will keep you posted. My plan is to try it out with the sim from my phone, then if everything is ok, go ahead and buy $ 100 airtime from Speak out to get the sim for this phone (which will be my husband's). And if I really like it, I'll get one for myself as well. Thanks everyone!

It's a slide QWERTY phone. My daughter is currently using a Chatr Nokia C3 with Speakout SIM so I am guessing that all Chatr phones work with Speakout SIM.

The C3 seems to have what you are looking for in your price range. I am sure there is another sale coming up! https://www.speakoutwireless.ca/speak/phone-features/rogers-selling-nokia-c3-prepaid-for-89-99/

Newegg sells some nice nokias, The 5230 caught my eye when it was $130. They regularly have sales on phones also. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/P.....t%20Phones

In defense of dealextreme, they are good to deal with (they can't be beat for replacement chargers + electronics accessories), free shipping, etc. But the phones aren't that cheap, so I won't take a chance on getting something that might or might not work well.
Ok, so here's the thing, I still want to replace the Nokia 1661 for myself, and possibly get another phone for my husband (who's on a Telus pay & talk, complete rip-off). My needs are: slide-out or touch keyboard (or something that makes texting super easy), under $ 100 (I know, I'm cheap!).
And it would be a super bonus to have something with Wi-fi. I don't plan on going on a data plan anytime soon, but I find it super handy to have something to check my emails when I go out of town (I currently borrow my son's ipod touch for those occasions, but he gets a bit annoyed at times!).

Chinese phones are notoriously cheaply made, and not worth the aggravation.

Too many of these Chinese cell phones work too poorly to be worth your time and effort. Examples like bad components, horrid user interface, poor fit and finish, poor reception, incorrect specs make for a bad user experience. Unless you can touch, feel the phone, and play around with it, I would stay away.

I was wondering if a phone from China (dealextreme.com and focalprice.com have several) would work. For example, something like this

what do you guys think?
