Straight Talk ZTE Merit Android Just Released

Posted on May 18, 2012 by CM




Get the LG Optimus Black Android with Unlimited Monthly Plan with only $45!


Straight Talk has been on a veritable Android binge lately. The company with the best unlimited prepaid plan in the business has released three new Androids in the past several months including this brand new one, the ZTE Merit.

ZTE Merit Details:

  • Android 2.3
  • 3.5-inch touch screen
  • 5 megapixel camera and video recorder
  • bluetooth wireless
  • Advanced GPS
  • 3G/wi-fi connectivity

See all details at StraightTalk.com

ZTE Merit is available with either the unlimited plan or the international unlimited plan.  The ZTE Merit has a 600 mhz processor, which is pretty good for an Android at this price.  You have 5 home screens, much like on an iPhone or the LG Optimus Black, another Straight Talk Android device.  A 2 GB microSD card comes already installed in the ZTE Merit, but if you need more data, this phone is compatible with up to a 32 GB microSD card.  The Merit was just released and is now available online at the official site.

Get this phone online at the official website with the unlimited plan.

More Straight Android Phones

LG Optimus Black is currently also available on the official website.  It also operates with the unlimited prepaid plan. This phone also has a 6 megapixel camera, 5 home screens, and a bunch of other great features.  Learn more at Straight Talk’s website.

Nokia 6790 Straight Talk Smartphone

Posted on May 15, 2012 by CM

New Android Prepaid Phones

There are some good new Android phones available at the official site.  Right now, you can choose from three of them: LG Optimus Q, LG Optimus Black, and the Samsung Galaxy Precedent.  The Optimus Black is probably the better out of the three, but the Proclaim runs on the Verizon network, and the Precedent is available for $129, the lowest I’ve seen this phone priced.  Get your Straight Talk Android at StraightTalk.com

LG Optimus Black – Top Prepaid Android Choice

The best available phone right now is LG Optimus Black. It has a beautiful bright touchscreen, a fast processor (so your phone can do multiple things at once), and a handy 5 megapixel camera and video recorder. It runs on the ST unlimited plan so it gives you unlimited talk, text, web, email, and 411 calls. See if Optimus Black is available in your area at the official website.

The Samsung Galaxy Proclaim is another android device that’s been getting a lot of love from people across the country.  This phone actually runs on the Verizon network in the areas of the country where Straight Talk “rents” or “piggybacks” on these networks in participation with them.  This phone represents a great value as you get a Verizon phone (the phone itself is the same at the prepaid Verizon Samsung Illusion phone, but $10 cheaper).  Learn more about this phone at StraightTalk.com.

Straight Talk Adds Two New Smart Phones to its Available Phone List

The Nokia 6790 is one of the new Straight Talk phones that has recently been released.  It is a legitimate smart phone and Straight Talk is claiming that this phone, in addition to the Nokia E71, is one of its first smart phones to be used on the Straight Talk plans.  And this is after the Samsung Finesse has basically been phased out since it’s a pretty old phone.

So the two new phones give the Straight Talk lineup of cell phones a definite boost in terms of quality.  Most prepaid phones are not that attractive and this is something that sets Straight Talk wireless apart from other companies.  It tends to have decent to very nice phones.

See more info about this phone and the rest of the Straight Talk phones and deals at StraightTalk.com

nokia 6790 prepaid phoneNokia 6790 is available for use with the Straight Talk Unlimited plan, which at $45 per month, is a solid plan for people who use a lot of talk time and text a lot.  It also comes with unlimited web browsing and data transfer, which is another plus for the people who like to stay “connected.”  Keep in mind that this plan runs on Verizon’s prepaid network, which is a good thing.

The Nokia 6790 smartphone comes with a slider keyboard (full qwerty), which works well in conjunction with the instant messaging function that is prevalent on the phone.  You can access multiple email accounts if necessary right from your phone.  If you need directions somewhere you can use the voice-guide navigation which comes as a free element with this phone.

The 2.0 megapixel camera will allow you to snap pictures as you go about your day, the 4 GB microSD will allow you to store your data.  The Nokia 6790 is rounded out with mobile web service, Bluetooth wireless, and a music player.  The phone costs $244, which includes the first month of unlimited wireless service.  Read more about Straight Talk and the Nokia 6790 to see if it is a plan and phone that will suit you.

See the details of this phone at Straight Talk’s website.

New Straight Talk LG 900G Deal

Posted on May 15, 2012 by CM

Straight Talk has pushed the envelope ever since it made its debut selling phones online and at Walmart a few years ago.  With its affordable unlimited prepaid plan, it was clear from the start that ST would be a serious competitor in this business.  Straight Talk continues today with the release of two really nice Android phones.

One of them is the LG Optimus Black, a really nice Android phone with a 5 megapixel camera, a fast microprocessor, and a gorgeous touchscreen.

Another phone is the Samsung Galaxy Proclaim, an Android phone that, like the LG Optimus Black, runs on the unlimited prepaid plan. Get this phone at StraightTalk.com

Now lets move on to the LG 900G deal.  Right now, you can save a few bucks on the LG 900g phone at the official Straight Talk site.  This phone works with either the unlimited plan or what they call the All You Need plan (which only costs $30 per month).

You gotta love Straight Talk Wireless.  See the Straight Talk phone deals page I’ve set up so you can find all the latest deals from this prepaid provider.  They always have a good deal going on and you always can save money–this is one of the biggest reasons the prepaid carrier is becoming more popular every week.  The current Straight Talk deal is for the LG 900G phone.  The bundle costs $99 with the “All You Need” prepaid plan, which gives you 1,000 minutes of talk time, 1,000 text messages, and 30 mb of web browsing, in addition to free 411 calling.

You get the LG 900G phone, the first month of service, a $15 gift certificate, plus a free Skinit phone cover to help protect your phone (a value of $15)–all for $99.99.  It’s as good as prepaid deals get currently.  The LG 900G offers fast web browsing, a full qwerty keypad, apps, email, and Bluetooth.  If you think you need more talk time than the All You Need plan offers, you can opt for the unlimited Straight Talk plan for $15 more.

New Straight Talk Touch Screen Phone

The Samsung t528G phone is one of the newest to drop into the lineup of available phones that work with both of ST’s prepaid plans.  The phone has a great look to it and has a touch screen phone, a nice camera/video recorder, wifi, mp3 player, and is application friendly (meaning you can download apps online).  It’s a pretty nice phone and at a price of $99, it’s not going to break the bank for you.  Read a longer review I wrote of the Samsung t528G Straight Talk phone.

Update — The Gift Card Deal is No Longer Current

This deal is no longer running–you can’t get the $15 gift card with a purchase of this phone anymore.  If it changes, I will update this post so you will be the first to know.  If you’re interested in keeping up with Straight Talk, TracFone, Net 10, and Metro PCS deals, bookmark us or follow us (RSS, newsletter, twitter, Facebook) so you can stay up to date.  We will always have the latest prepaid phone news available.

Nokia Smart Phones Are Back in the Limelight

After a brief period of absence, the popular Straight Talk smart phones Nokia 6790 and Nokia E71 (both 3g phones) are back!  You can buy one of these phones that work with the Unlimited plan at StraightTalk.com

New Android Phone Coming Soon

In addition to the two already released android phones on Straight Talk, there is one more Android to be released in the next couple of months, the LG Optimus X2 for Straight Talk.  Keep your eyes peeled and tuned into this blog to get the release dates and to be the first to get all the news about this upcoming and much awaited cell phone.

The Samsung Galaxy Precedent is available at the lowest price that I’ve seen from this company yet.  It only costs $129 and comes with no contract and zero commitment.  Prepaid is definitely the way to go, whether you choose Net10, Straight Talk, or MetroPCS.  Think about it!
