-For phones on the cheaper end, the Nokia Lumia 521 has great reviews, although no flash or LTE (4G HSPA+) and is $99 off contract at Amazon, Best Buy, and others.
-If you want something between those two, for $199, you can find the LG Optimus F3, which is a solid entry level LTE Android. For $289, you can get the LG Optimus F6 which is more mid-range.
