I'm trying to identify the right phone for a friend. It doesn't have to have any bells or whistles (camera, media, etc.) just basic phone functions with good UI and reception. But I would like it to be a little stylish and distinctive, not something that everyone else has. Something slightly (very slightly) in the spirit of the Nokia 7280/7380 but actually functional and not retarded. To be used on T-Mobile in the US.

Any suggestions? Price maybe $200-250, but higher is okay if it's really cool. But not Vertu levels.
