New Nokia 3310 will be practically unusable in many countries, including US

Is anyone aware of an alternative (with a similar budget price, maybe something marketed in the developing world?) that can be used on a modern phone network?

I was just shopping for a new unlocked candy bar feature phone that supports 3G at 1900 MHz. The best one I could find was the Nokia 301.2 for $130.

The Kyocera Rally is another 3G candy bar feature phone with more of a budget price ($20 from Amazon but locked to T-Mobile).

Go to ebay and buy a featurephone from around 10 years ago.

I have a Sony Ericsson K850i that's quadband GSM and works on HSPA 850/1900/2100 (meaning it'll work on AT&T and T-Mobile's 3G networks as well as a good chunk of international 3G networks)

The 105 is also 2G only and won't work in the US, Canada or Australia.
