Thanks to all for the responses - I need the phone immediately and I don't necessarily need the best and greatest. Actually if I could get something close to what I had before (HTC Dream G1 dev phone 1 or 2) that would suffice. Even if I am running on 1.6 I am ok with it. Now I am assuming running apps written for 1.6 should have no problems running on later phones right? Going from newer APIs to older would be a problem but from older to newer I am assuming the apps are supported.
I will try ebay and the like and I will also check out the Market. >From what the Android site says, that's the place to get such phones but I don't hear many people saying they bought such phones off the Market.
