Default [Q] What's the cheapest smartphone for tethering/server?

What's the cheapest smartphone with HSDPA 7.2mbps I can buy?

I plan to use it for WiFi tethering.

Used is cool. I'll consider Android, iOS and Windows Mobile. I'll try to avoid Symbian and Blackberry OS but I might consider if it hits the correct price spot. No J2ME devices please.

Android preferred. I'm comfortable with rooting and so Android 2.2 is not a must.

And, yes, WiFi is a must too. Display quality and other stuff don't matter.

I found some myTouch 3G on eBay but that's about it. Whatever happened to all those old budget smartphones?
