Used SMT5600 Advice

[Guest djpfine]

A friend of mine is willing to sell me his used and unlocked SMT5600 for $150. Sounds like a pretty solid deal, especially for a phone like the 5600. But, I've been out of the cell phone scene for so long, that I wanted to check on here first.

1) Any major issues with the 5600 that I should look out for before buying it?

2) Any newer, next-great thing type phones coming out in the near future?

3) Is $150 a good price for a 6mo. old used 5600?

Hopefully I'll be joining the ranks of the Smartphone OS army soon.

Its worth checking the ammount of dust under the screen, its hard to get rid of it!

There is a c550 coming out in the uk soon, only improvements are camera and screen res, I wont be in any rush to upgrade.

Im in the uk so am not to sure about us prices, but it seems reasonable!
