Are you still in a contract? If you are, purchase from you carrier at non-contract price or better yet, find a replacement elsewhere at a lower price.

Get It From eBay

Buying from your provider can be very costly. One option is to buy from eBay. There are tons of phones on eBay. If you are not intimidated to bid on line, and find this mode of shopping comfortable, you can find a reasonable replacement phone.
