Unlocked Phones?

Hey Guys,

My phone sucks, uberly =/

So, I've decided to get a new one. I have at&t and dont wanna switch plans, so thusly i need an unlocked phone =D

Any suggestions on where i can get it, such as ebay, amazon, etc.

Also, Can I get an unlocked phone at some kind of retailer(i.e: Readioshack)

And suggestions on any kickass texting phone would be greatly appreciated as well :D

Note :Unlocked phones are very expensive to buy . Better, you can buy a carrier locked phone from ebay and unlock it by using unlock code . you can get it from any of the online vendors like
Mobile-Unlocker.com to unlock it .
