Straight Talk's New Android Phone is Out Now - Click Here!
There are currently three phones you can get for free from Straight Talk. The W418G is the latest Straight Talk phone to be made available on the website for free. It’s a super basic clamshell phone that flips open. It almost reminds me of high school because this is the type of phone that was prevalent when I was in 12th grade.
There’s a certain nostalgia vibe to it that I actually really like for this phone. If you are looking for an extra phone or a phone for a kid or just to keep in your car for emergencies, this could be a good phone for you to choose.
The way you get the free Straight Talk phone is by purchasing one month of service at the time you select your phone. No matter what in order to use any phone from this company (or from any other phone company), you need to pay for service. That’s just how phones work. And in this case, you just happen to get a free phone as well. It’s a pretty good deal if you are the type of person who just loves saving money.
The LG 220C and LG 420G are both available for free as well online with the purchase of a one month unlimited or all you need prepaid plan. Learn more about these phones at Straight Talk’s website.

The Samsung Precedent really sticks out in my mind as a solid deal because it’s an Android phone with no contract that runs on a very good unlimited plan. I think Straight Talk has done well by putting this phone in its lineup. It’s the first Android phone for Straight Talk. If you’re still not sold on this phone, you have one more Android to choose from, the LG Optimus Q, Straight Talk’s second Android phone.
The Optimus Q phone is a little bit more expensive at $179.99, but is well worth it because it runs on Android 2.3, has a 3.2 inch touch screen and a sliding qwerty keypad, and a 3 megapixel camera. Overall, this phone is really nice.

Update (12/15/2011): Before you read on, this phone has actually been discounted even deeper than it was when I first wrote this post. Now the Nokia E71 is only $99 brand new and $49 reconditioned.
One of the best Straight Talk phones out there, the Nokia E71 is currently available on the website for only $49, a fifty dollar discount off the former price of $99. This is for a reconditioned Nokia E71 and is a lot cheaper than the brand new version of the phone which costs $149. It’s one hundred dollars cheaper which will help you pay for several months of wireless service. Check out this deal if you’re looking to save good money on a solid phone with a great prepaid plan.

It’s the Holiday season so once again you can get a free Straight Talk phone. Straight Talk, if you haven’t heard of this company, has one of the top unlimited prepaid plans out there. For $45 per month, customers of ST get unlimited talk, web, and text. As longs as you don’t abuse the web usage, you will be fine. There are some good phones that run on the Straight Talk plans. And there are always some really good deals going on. They literally seem to change every day.
Free Straight Talk Phones
Right now there are three free phones available (there may be a fourth depending on where you live). They are the LG 420G, the LG 620G, and the Motorola W418G. All are reconditioned phones. You need to buy a month of wireless service to use the phone, but that is the only expense.

Straight Talk is a prepaid wireless phone provider that’s really blown up over the past couple of years since it first came onto the scene. Sold exclusively at Walmart in the beginning, Straight Talk benefited from the influential sales position of being on shelves in the most heavily trafficked store in the United States. But since then, the service has proven that it really does have the makings to compete against some of the bigger and better known phone brands out there.

New Phones from Straight Talk
And now that we have seen the release of the first Straight Talk Android phone, the Samsung Galaxy Precedent, it seems that this company has really come out swinging and is ready to play ball. The Android phone on prepaid plan phenomenon is one that makes me personally really happy, since I have been wanting to see better phones on prepaid plans for a long time now. And Straight Talk has in fact released its second Android phone right on the heels of the first one. The second phone is the LG Optimus Q, a phone that is different from the Precedent mainly because it has a pull out keypad in addition to a beautiful touch screen. One thing you need to know about both of these cool phones is that they only work with the unlimited prepaid plan from this company. You can’t opt into any lower plan, you have to use the $45 per month plan. But this plan is probably the one you want if you’re going to have an Android device that browses the web and downloads apps.

Straight Talk and the Competition: Do Your Homework
There are many other companies adding Android phones to prepaid plans (which again is something I think is great) like Virgin Mobile (Motorola Triumph might be the best Android prepaid phone in the world), MetroPCS (several of them, but not many I really like), and Boost Mobile.

The one thing that is certain is that Straight Talk is popular because of its $45 unlimited plan that offers everything unlimited and is one of the most affordable prepaid plans out there. However, even than, not everyone is made for just browsing the Internet, a lot of talking or heavy texting, so, not everyone is looking for the same features in the phone. That is why the best Straight Talk phones are not those that are the most expensive or the ones with the most features available, but the ones that are the best combination between the price and with what user needs. With that in mind, the best Straight Talk phones would be the Samsung r451c, the Samsung R355C and Nokia E71.
Samsung r451C Straight Talk Phone
For someone who likes to text a lot and is not too much into web browsing, but still likes to have access to sites like Twitter, Facebook, Gmail and more, the Samsung r451c can be voted of one of the best Straight Talk phones. This phone is available for $99.99. For that money, an attractive stylish slider phone that provides easy texting will be yours. Besides full hidden QWERTY keyboard, perfectly placed buttons easy to press also help a lot to easy texting. Also, you will have a 1.3 megapixel camera that will help you capture important moments in you life in good enough way, MP3 player, Bluetooth and other common features that this type of phone has.

Samsung R355C Straight Talk Phone
The Straight Talk Samsung R355C is quite similar to the previous phone discussed here. Again, the phone is great for texting, thanks to a full QWERTY keyboard, and it’s perfect for those who needs only a basic Internet connection without the possibility of downloading (cannot download pictures off the internet). To be honest, what is attractive in this case is the look of the phone. The phone looks a bit like a Blackberry and that can be a decision point for some users. It is bigger than the previous model and it has a 2.2′ LCD screen. It also has a 1.3-megapixel camera, a very good mp3 player with up to 16gig memory expansions, as well as 64 MB internal memory.
The Nokia E71 Smart Phone
And certainly one of the best Straight Talk phones, if not the best, is the Nokia E71. This phone is a smart phone and is available for $199. In this phone, you get everything that the phrase “smart phone” stands for. It’s great for texting and great for web browsing. The unlimited plan for $45 gives this phone a lot of utility. If you enjoy browsing Internet, downloading a variety of applications, streaming videos, or if you want to be able to use free Internet wherever there is a wifi capability, this phone may be an option. If you want to make video calls with 3g speeds and AT&T and Verizon’s networks, then the BlackBerry-style Nokia E71 is the perfect choice for you. Take pictures with a 3.2-megapixel camera, listen to music with the MP3 player and just overall enjoy this prepaid cell phone.
I am one of the many who have been sucked in by the whole smart phone prepaid phone movement. Can you call it a movement? I think you can because it seems to be a pretty strong trend with companies like Straight Talk, MetroPCS, T-Mobile, and Virgin all releasing prepaid smart phones. And these are the kinds of phones that people are asking and actively looking for.
In short, people want the affordability of prepaid, but the quality of high end phones. That being said, there are some very nice non-smart phones available on prepaid plans–the kind of phone that sits between your normal everyday prepaid phone and the really high end smart phones. Straight Talks Samsung t528g is one of these phones and it’s a really nice option (and an affordable one at only $99). The interesting thing about this phone is that whereas with the Nokia E71 and Nokia 6790 (the Straight Talk smartphones available now) can only be used with the Unlimited plan, the Samsung t528g can be used with either plan of your choice.

- 3G/WiFi Connectivity
- Multi Tasking and App Capable
- 2.0 Megapixel Camera and Video Recorder
- MP3 Player(cable and microSD card not included)

Is the Nokia 6790 the smart phone that Straight Talk customers have been looking for all this time? That’s a good question, but the answer is inevitably going to be “no.” There is just no way to really compare the Nokia 6790 to the iPhone in its current incarnation. The first difference is in the user experience of the phone. The iPhone is a much simpler, single button phone with a touch screen, while the Nokia 6790 does not have a touch screen and is a slider-phone that slides open to reveal a full interior keypad. Another crucial difference comes in the fact that the 6790 is a prepaid phone.
Clearly, the phones are quite different, but the real question is does the Nokia 6790 have enough style and substance to excite future Straight Talk customers?
The Details of the Phone
The Nokia 6790 has a 2-megapixel camera (which is pretty standard these days), a decent sized screen, a a 4gb microsd card, free voice-guide navigation, mobile web services, and bluetooth wireless technology in addition to other nice little things the phone does. One of the big features that you just can’t escape in this phone is the slide-out keyboard. If you are going to buy the Straight Talk Nokia 6790, it’s essential that you want a slide out keyboard, otherwise you might prefer the Nokia E71, a more Blackberry-esque phone that doesn’t slide open.
Unlimited Plan
This phone has some good things about it, the chief of which is that it is a prepaid smart phone that won’t break the bank. It comes with an Unlimited plan that will give you limitless talk time, web browsing, and text messaging.

Best Straight Talk Prepaid Phones
If you’re looking for a prepaid cell phone, Straight Talk has three new ones you might be interested in checking out since they all work with the Unlimited $45 plan that’s been getting a lot of hype lately.

The new Straight Talk phones are the Samsung t528G, the Nokia E71, and the Nokia 6790. The 6790 and E71 are smart phones, which means that they can do email and are good for web browsing. All three are worth looking at.
