After 30 seconds of googling, I can get the "LG GT540 Optimus" unlocked for $129, and it can be updated to Android 2.3.
This phone certainly isn't the cheapest android phone, so I'm not sure what it's selling point is.

A phone closer to these specs (though I'm unaware of any available phones with specs this good) will cost $600+.
If we can get a $50 smartphone on the market that doesn't completely stink then we're going to really see a big move towards android.
It has a terrible screen, is hardly responsive, and is only useful as a phone. And barely, considering how difficult it was to place a call using that awful screen.
