You can get any Android phone flashed to Cricket for about $30 almost anywhere. Cricket uses Verizon's towers and their plan is only $55 a month with no contract. You can even go directly to them and buy an Android. I have a friend who bought an Incredible that had already been flashed to Cricket for $200 on Craigslist.

Here is Cricket's link:

And their phone choices:

Huh? How is that germane? Cricket != T-Mobile.

1. No-contract devices tend to be more expensive so your options will be extremely limited.
2. Most TMO 3G compatible devices will come from TMO.

OOPS, I misread the fact the he wanted to stay on T-mobile. I just saw the "I'm currently on T-mobile" and that he wanted no contract.

Thanks for the replies, and I can't switch carriers or anything because I'm just a teenager. We have a no contract plan so we have to pay full price for phones. Maybe up to $230? I was thinking of the LG Optimus T. I have the Sentio right now :/ so I'm not sure if I want a seemingly identical phone with Android on it. I want something with a keyboard maybe. I was looking at the LG Eve, but it's unclear whether or not it would work with 3G.
