You can get a refurb for $100 or so, that's about as cheap as it gets.
I got a brand-new Android phone for $80. If I break it I can get another one for about $65 now of this model or an updated model for less than $100.
I've got an old one sitting in a drawer I've been meaning to donate. Would gladly hand it to a cyclist if I knew anyone who needed a free GPS phone for tracking bike rides.
You don't need an $800 phone to run GPS for a couple hours.
