  HTC ChaCha would be a top pick for less than $80, however it seems to have been sold out @ eBgames.

  There are very few Android QWERTY handsets in the Aussie phone market.

  Nokia E63, E71 and E72 is also another option, but that's only if you can stand using the outdated Symbian OS. They do however, have Wifi, HSDPA / HTML web browsing capability.

    E63 supports push email (at least Gmail) as well. I recently upgraded to a Galaxy S3 but I loved my E63. Much better than entry-level Android phones, in my opinion. Significantly less lag compared to entry-level Android phones (like the LG Optimus One).

      Well, if you're looking for email capability any 3G smartphone will do it.

      If Nokias and Blackberry is not your thing, you would be looking only at:

      Windows Phone (very limited choices)
      - Dell Venue Pro (see Pricing) Pricing is pretty inhibitive.

      Android
      - HTC ChaCha ($129 from Mobicity or their ebay site) - downside is mediocre battery life, but good performance nonetheless.
      - Sony xperia Pro $200 from various retailers This is probably your best option?
      - HTC Desire Z (outdated, but still floating around in 2nd hand markets)
