Best Budget (Sub $250) Unlocked T-Mobile Phone

I'm considering switching to T-Mobile to use their Pre-Paid Pay As You Go plan but I also want a Android phone.

I'm looking for the phone to either be natively T-Mobile or unlocked (it does not need to run on T-Mo's data bands because I'm probably not going to use data anyway).

Budget: $0-250 (Can go $10 higher if the device is really good for the price)
Screen: At least 3.5 inch (3.3 if the device is particularly good or noteworthy)(Preferably AMOLED)
No Physical Keyboard
Preferably Brand New

So far, my best options are the following.
Samsung Exhibit II 4G - $198 Amazon, $329 T-mobile.com (As of 4/13/2012) - Best Option and Natively T-Mobile and I can root this one and run CM9 with ICS. Has AMOLED Screen and runs nicely if one removes the bloatware.

Motorola Defy - $259 - Amazon(As of 4/13/2012) - Has CM9 and has a rugged design and quite waterproof (Nice to have).

Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray - $251 - Amazon(As of 4/13/2012) - Great looking design and 8MP camera. If this device is the 2011 version, it's getting official ICS. 3.3 inch

Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo V - $270 (Pushing the envelope) - Amazon(As of 4/13/2012) - Great looking design and 5MP camera. It's getting official ICS. 3.7 inch with high pixel density.

Samsung i897 Captivate Galaxy S - $250 Amazon(As of 4/13/2012) - ICS Roms, 4 inch AMOLED screen, 5 MP camera but no flash. Part of Galaxy S series. 1GHz Processor. Built in 16 GB storage with memory card slot =)

Used Motorola Atrix - as low as $220 - I could always get a $10 replacement battery cover if there are scrathces there. Even so, I'm getting a case that'll hide non-screen scratches anyway.

Used Samsung i897 Captivate Galaxy S - Used can go under $200 - ICS Roms, 4 inch screen, 5 MP camera but no flash

Does anyone else have better options or anything that I may of missed out?
I'm going to see if T-Mobile stores have any good deals with Pre-Paid Pay as you go plans.

 

Yeah, its a must to get a actual feel of the phone. Right now, I'm jsut beginning the process of looking for the phones in various sources. I play on taking a trip to the T-Mobile store next week to see if they have any better deals.

 

Ah thanks. I forgot their was a T-Mobile specific forum.

 

Yeah, its definitely one of the best phones and it supports T-Mobile 4G but this may not be a necessity because I may just go with the T-Mobile Pay as You Go plan which is only for calls. Also, I'm around Wifi very often to data connections may not be needed at all.
