Okay, so I had so much fun, and earned a pretty penny, for selling my iPhone 5.  It was in the pimped out Ferarri red color.  Who wouldn’t want it?!  I already purchased the iPhone 5S.  Well, I ordered it online at midnight like the rest of the iPhone support freaks out there.  I took a gander on eBay and noticed that my new iPhone 5S was selling for double the retail price.  Who am I to argue with the market?  So, I listed my new iPhone 5S online!  Yes, it sounds crazy, but why not.  If you can double your investment, you’d be a fool not to.

Being the frugal-minded investor, I’m now in the immediate need for a smartphone.  Plus, I have no phone and the new iPhone is all sold out.  I’m not averse to a non-iPhone smartphone dare I say.  And I don’t want to spend my new returns.  So, I started looking for a smartphone for a $100 or less.

Here’s what I found for the best $100 smartphone:

  • HTC One,  HTC First, HTC One X – The HTC series is a steal.  Amazing camera, sharp design and one of the fastest processor.  It also has external speakers
  • Samsung Galaxy S3 – Fast processor, 8-MP camera and Android.  Tons of features.
  • LG Spectrum 2 – Android, fast LTE speeds and an 8-MP camera showcase this model.

For $100, you can’t go wrong with these lower end models.
