Straight Talk's New Android Phone is Out Now - Click Here!

straight talk nokia 6790 phoneBefore we get to the news about the new price decreases of the Nokia E71 and 6790, I wanted to let you know about the new Android phone that just hit Straight Talk.  LG Optimus Black is the best phone ST has had yet and a lot of people are excited about it.  It has a great screen, a very nice camera, and can download apps from Android Marketplace, all while letting you play games, listen to music, and manage your email.  See it at StraightTalk.com.

It’s a super nice phone.  If the Optimus Black isn’t suited to your taste, you should have a look at the Samsung Galaxy Proclaim, which was released earlier this month.  It’s another solid release that is surprisingly fast.  It downloads data fast, opens web pages really quick, and streams netflix and youtube videos really fast.  It’s because this phone is on the Verizon network–the first Straight Talk Android phone to be on this superior network.

The question we’re going to try to tackle here is whether or not you should consider buying one of the two new Straight Talk smart phones, the Nokia 6790 and the Nokia E71. These two phones have recently been made available with the Straight Talk unlimited plan for only $99 online at StraightTalk.com.

lg optimus black android phone straight talk

The unlimited plan costs $45 per month for limitless calls, messages, and Internet, which is probably why it’s the plan associated with these two phones. Both the Nokia 6790 and E71 are very good phones by comparison to other smart phones out there. Neither or them are super high end, but they are nice phones. In comparison to other prepaid phones, these two handsets blow a lot of them out of the water.

The best place to buy these phones is StraightTalk.com, the official website for the brand. You will find the best prices and the best availability of these phone models at the website. They can ship anywhere and it’s free.

Both of these phones cost only $99 for a brand new phone!  This is the cheapest I’ve seen these phones offered online yet.

Straight Talk Smart Phones

Many of the other Straight Talk phones do not have much more to offer than just calling, texting, and a little web browsing. This isn’t to say that they’re bad phones–they just don’t really go above and beyond. This tends to make sense, since they are all affordable phone options and are going to be used by people actively looking to save money. This is how prepaid has traditionally been–for the frugal who aren’t going to spend a lot on a hot new cell phone. Well, things are truly changing and now it’s not surprising to see people who would not have considered prepaid phones a year ago to be switching to a prepaid plan like the one offered by Straight Talk Wireless.

Nokia E71

Nokia E71 for Straight Talk resembles a Blackberry, at least in shape and style. It is more of a tab or slab-style phone, which means it is flat, has no moving parts, and has a full keypad on the bottom half of the body of the phone. It’s a nice style and shape of phone that makes sense for business and personal use. You can use the fully displayed keyboard to send text messages very easily and quickly and you can use it to browse the Internet with the full html browser.

Nokia 6790

Nokia 6790 is a 3G GSM slider phone that slides to reveal a full keyboard. The phone has 128 megabytes of internal storage, video recording, mp3 and mp4 player, voice memo, and runs Symbian OS, through which you can download various free applications that will enhance your phone’s functions. Definitely do some more research on this phone and think about it.

Cost

Both phones cost $99 and there is a monthly fee of $45 per month for the unlimited plan that allows you to text, talk, and browse as much as you heart desires. And now, with the 6790 or the E71, you will have a phone that enables you to get the most out of this comprehensive, affordable prepaid plan. Did I mention that since these are both prepaid phone plans, you don’t have to sign a contract!

Get one of these phones for only $99 online at Straight Talk’s website.

straight talk nokia e71 phoneNew Android Phone LG Optimus Black

Straight Talk has added another Android handset to its list of phones.  It is not the LG Optimus 2X as many people had hoped (and as Straight Talk said it was going to release).  LG Optimus Black is a good phone with a good screen that gives you access to the Android Marketplace, a 5 megapixel camera and video recorder, and all of the goodies you associated with Android phones.  Read my review of this phone here or go straight to the source: Straight Talk.

If you want to see all of the current phones at Straight Talk, the best lace to go is the official site.  If you’re thinking of getting an Android phone, LG Optimus Black or Samsung Proclaim are your best bets.  Watch a video review of the Optimus Black and Samsung Proclaim below.

There’s a new prepaid Android phone out on Straight Talk.  It’s the LG Optimus Black.  It has a beautiful touch screen, a 6 megapixel camera, fast web browser speeds, access to the Android Marketplace, and runs on an affordable unlimited prepaid plan.  This is a serious phone and a serious plan.  See if this phone is available in your area at StraightTalk.com

lg optimus android cell phone onlineAnother new Android prepaid phone with a touch screen is the Samsung Galaxy Proclaim, a phone that boasts surprisingly quick download, upload, and web browsing speeds on the 3G network provided by Verizon.  That’s right, the Proclaim runs on the Verizon network in the areas of the country where Straight Talk has teamed up with the big V.  Learn more about Samsung Galaxy Proclaim, one of the best value plays in prepaid right now, at StraightTalk.com

Updated 9/6/2011:  There is a brand new touch screen phone in town and it’s also Straight Talk’s first Android-powered cell phone.  It requires no contract (just like the other ST phones) and it does everything you expect a high performing Android 2.2 phone to do.  It is even less expensive than the other three non-android smart phones Straight Talk has in its stable.  Read a review of the Samsung Galaxy Precedent and see if it’s the right phone for you.  At $149 with no contract plus unlimited talk, text, web, 411, gps, it’s probably the best priced Straight Talk phone (for what you get) available right now.

Samsung Galaxy Precedent

You can get this phone at StraightTalk.com

A few people have asked recently if there are Straight Talk touch screen phones available with the two ST plans that a lot of people are talking about right now.  At the moment, there are no Straight Talk touch screen phones available.  Previously, the Samsung Finesse r810c, which does have a touch screen, was in the lineup and could be purchased on the website.  But that phone was phased out even though it’s a fan favorite because the model was getting quite old.  Pretty soon, we saw the Nokia E71 and Nokia 6790 phones come into play and they were selling pretty well for a few months.  Now, however, those two smart phones are no longer being sold on the website.  So at the moment–to answer those few readers question–no, there are no Straight Talk touch screen phones available.  This could, and hopefully will, change. See all the current phones available at StraightTalk.com.  A couple of the Samsung Straight Talk phones are very nice.  There are some affordable options and actually at least one phone available for free.

The Samsung Galaxy Precedent is available at a pretty low price and the lowest I’ve seen it yet.  It’s only $129 and it comes with the unlimited plan.  Learn more at the official site.  Another recent development is the ST simcards that allow you use third party phones like iPhone on the unlimited Straight Talk plan.

Straight Talk Unlimited Prepaid Plan

On May 17, 2012, in straight talk, by Chris

LG Android with an Unlimited Prepaid Plan

Prepaid phones are really all the rage right now.  So many interesting things are going on with companies like MetroPCS, Net10, and Straight Talk.  There are two new Android phones.  LG Optimus Black is the first one and it’s a good one.  It has a very nice camera and a super bright screen, not to mention 6 home screens for storing apps you download from Android Marketplace.  Get your new Android phone online with free shipping at Straight Talk’s website.

lg optimus black android phone straight talkStraight Talk offers two good prepaid plans. The first costs $30 and will give you 1,000 minutes of talk time and 1,000 text messages in addition to 30 megabytes of data transfer for web browsing. For $30, it’s a pretty good deal and you can even get a free phone with this plan (at least for as long as the current free Straight Talk phone offer is going on for). The phones that are being offered for free change sort of frequently, but at the moment you can get two models of phone for free. Have a look at all the plans and the current phones online at StraightTalk.com. The deal only works with online purchases, but don’t worry because you get free shipping.

The second Straight Talk plan is the unlimited plan. For $45 per month, you get unlimited talk time, unlimited text messages, and unlimited web browsing. You also get unlimited 411 calls and GPS. There are not that many plans out there that offer all of these services at unlimited levels. Straight Talk has several phones that might be of interest to you. One of the high end phones is the Nokia 6790, a smart phone that was recently added to the lineup. Have a look at it (and all the rest of them) at StraightTalk.com.

lg optimus android cell phone onlineMan, we’ve come a long way.  It seems like yesterday that Straight Talk released its very first Android smart phone for its prepaid unlimited plan.  Then it released a second one and now a third.  The third and newest Straight Talk Android phone is known as LG Optimus Black (you can see it to the left there).  It’s got an amazing screen with gorgeous color, it has a very nice two camera set up (one on each side of the phone so you can take snaps and video and also have the convenience of video chatting).

The phone is one of my top prepaid phone selections for price and the fact that it’s a no-contract phone with an unlimited plan.  ST has a very strong unlimited plan, which is partly the reason these Android phones work so well.  If they did not have an unlimited plan, they would not be as efficient.  Web browsing is very easy with this phone.  But enough from me.  Learn more at StraightTalk.com

LG Optimus Q and Samsung Precedent

The newest Straight Talk Android phone, which is the second one made available by this company, is now available for purchase on the official ST website and is now shipping to customers.  For a while, the Straight Talk LG Optimus Q was in pre-order mode, with the phone not available.  Now, if you go to the website, you will see both the Samsung Precedent Android and the LG Optimus Q Android on the sales page (and now LG Optimus Black).  They will be shipped to you for free!  You don’t have to pay anything extra to get your phone sent to you, which is a nice little perk.  Get your Android Straight Talk phone at StraightTalk.com

Did you know that you can now use and iPhone with your Straight Talk plan.  All you need to do is buy the appropriate simcard that works with an unlocked iphone.  It’s easy and practical, but you might prefer one of the Android phones listed above.

Samsung Galaxy Proclaim

The newest Straight Talk phone release is the Samsung Galaxy Proclaim, which is the first Verizon powered phone to be released under the Straight Talk TracFone banner.  At $179 for this prepaid Android on an unlimited plan, you have a serious deal going on.  Keep in mind that the phone is powered by the huge Verizon network across the country.

I really like this phone.  A lot of people thought the Optimus 2X was the phone Straight Talk was going to add, but all of a sudden the LG Optimus Black appeared to a lot of surprise and excitement!  Here’s what I like about this phone.  LG Black has a 5 megapixel camera, a gorgeous color touch screen, unlimited talk, text, and web, and it has a nice look.  It’s an android phone so you can download apps, which is something a lot of prepaid phones don’t allow you to do.  It runs with the Straight Talk unlimited plan so you are fully enabled to use this Android phone to its potential!  See all the details of this phone here.

That’s the Black to the left there.  You can see what it looks like when you browse the web!  You can see the Google screen on the phone.  Black has a great user interface and a 5 page home screen, meaning you can scroll through the screens like you can with an iphone and can store all the apps you download from Android Marketplace there.  See more details on the phone at the official website: StraightTalk.com

Nokia Smartphones are Back

The Straight Talk Nokia 6790 and Nokia E71 are both back in the Straight Talk lineup after a brief absence.  You can see them online at StraightTalk.com (if they are available in your area, which they should be since there are only certain areas they are unavailable).  Both of these phones run on the Unlimited $45 prepaid Straight Talk plan, which is one of the top unlimited plans in the business.  Owned by TracFone and running on Verizon’s network in parts of the country, Straight Talk has garnered a solid reputation with consumers and critics alike.

If I was going to choose one of these phones today, I think I would go with the Nokia E71 since I like the style of the phone and I prefer slab-style phones to slider phones, but it seems that most people prefer the 6790.  It’s your choice!

Nokia E71 Price Decrease

The Nokia E71 is now available at the delightful price of $49.99 on the official website.  The phone is considerably marked down from its former price.  It runs on the unlimited plan so you get all you can use text messages, web browsing time, and of course, all you can use voice.

Unlimited Plan

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.

The Straight Talk unlimited plan is one of the most talked about prepaid plans available today.  At $45 for unlimited talk, text, and web, you can’t go wrong with Straight Talk.  It is owned by Tracfone, which is one of the most popular prepaid companies in the country.

LG Optimus Black – New Phone

There is a brand new Straight Talk phone in our midst.  It’s the LG Optimus Black Android phone and it’s the best one they’ve got.  I really like this phone because it has a great screen and a very nice 5 megapixel camera and video recorder, two things that are very important to me in a phone.  This phone works with the Straight Talk Unlimited plan, so it comes with unlimited talk, text, and web.  Overall, LG Optimus Black is a very nice prepaid Android phone and a very good deal.  Get it at StraightTalk.com

Update:  Well, in this article I wrote about how much I liked the Samsung t528g and how it was my favorite non-smartphone for Straight Talk.  I still stand by that statement, but I wanted to add that my new favorite smartphone from Straight Talk is LG Optimus Black, which is an Android phone that runs with the unlimited prepaid plan that made Straight Talk famous.  It’s a great phone with a gorgeous screen and two cameras.  Learn more about it here.

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.
