Hi Everyone
I am giving up my $190 iphone bill (2 lines of service) for a cricket android phone.
need an android phone.
My choices are of course:
Sanyo Zio
Hauwai Ascend
LG Optimus C
Can the optimus be rooted? I mean, its a new phone but take on OLD model...
I just want a nice screen and decent speed for the phone.
Rooting the phone is fine, I can do that.
The best screen appears to be the Zio, but the best HARDWARE is the LG.
Which one will be the best after the 2.2-1 android update? The zio and Optimus alreadyu have that update, and you can root the Ascend to get it if you want.
Can you root the optimus be rooted?
I am sure the zio can.
DOH!
I just saw that the zio has no multitouch interface.
i have a samsung fascinate on cricket. you can also get a droid x or any other verizon or sprint android to work on cricket. and they all are better than the cricket choices. look on craigslist, or get a bad ESN one from Ebay, then flash it to cricket, the process is not that hard. and its on this forum
i have an epic on cricket... in the past i heard thehy shut down data for a week for flashed phones.. and anyway now my epic won't get incoming calls (routed to voicemail) and it says restricted on other peoples incoming screens when i call... seems like a roaming issue.. i'm about to probably just go buy an optimus c
I love my Incredible on Cricket Everything works 2 including MMS. UR best bet is 2 get a phone that isn't Cricket & make it Cricket. Lets face it... Cricket's phones suck
Hello everyone,
As you can see I am a newbie and this is my first post. Excuse me if a thread like this was made before, but after searching on the web I recently found out that I can use my E71 sim card on AT&T phones. I would like people's opinion on which phone I should buy? I also hear from fellow students that CES 2012 just happend. Should I wait for the new phones or just purchase a phone that is out now?
Thanks and much appreciated
Depends what you want, how much you can afford a month and how much your willing to spend on a phone. If your looking for prepaid virgin mobile is good, they have the motorola triumph, htc wildfire s, lg optimus v, lg optimus slider and samsung intercept (all are android) look up some planes on the internet, at&t prepaid is good but metro pcs has nice 4g phones and android phones, I see you want to no whats the best phone from straigt talk, i dont no much about the phones but check out metro,virgin, and at&t

Well I just read up on how ST has a loop hole and you can use mainly AT&T phone and some T-Mobile phones with the right 3G frequencies. I was willing to spend no more than $250 for a phone, but I don't know how long the loop hole is going to be open so I don't want to spend a lot on a phone and it not work. I was looking at the Atrix but various sites aren't every accurate when it came to comparing it to the Infuse or Inspire and other phones.
Do u want prepaid? For 250 you can by a nice prepaid phone

Straight Talk offers 2 android phones. The LG Optimus Q and the Samsung Galaxy Precedent.
If u want more android for prepaid id say metro pcs or virgin mobile

From what I read can't I just use any phone from AT&T and use my sim card on it? The phones from ST are entry level android and I want a full fledge android phone if there is such a thing.
Yes, you can use any AT&T smartphone on Straight Talk, I did it for about a year. For under $250, I'd try and get an AT&T band Nexus S, an Infuse, or maybe a Galaxy S2 if you can go an extra $100 higher. It's definitely worth the extra cash.
My local Walmart thinks there will be a new Android phone available in February 2012 for Straight Talk, any idea on make/model? or if worth the wait?
Look at virgin mobile, 4g is coming this year but all there other Android is 3g

I have been doing some reading and is it worth buying a 4G phone, since ST doesn't use 4G yet. Until they upgrade their bands?

I think you're missing the point of the OP. He's not asking for recommendations for carriers, or phones on other carriers. He's only interested in StraightTalk, and since ST's GSM phones (at least, the E71) runs on AT&T, you can just stick the E71's SIM card in an AT&T phone and use it. He's asking for good/cheap AT&T phones to run on StraightTalk.
So, to answer the OP's question, I would probably try to go with a Nexus S (look for the AT&T band one, like entropism said), or maybe a used iPhone 4.
So, I recently acquired a Motorola Droid 2 Global... I rooted it, installed a nice version of ICS on it, and the phone is quite decent for what it is... instead of selling/trading it, I am looking to possibly use it for my OOPS phone... I do a lot of kayaking, some whitewater, and need a phone on the boat but need one which I care not if it dumps in the river... Problem is... I have a rooted beauty of a Samsung Galaxy that is my every day phone thru T-Mobile (and LOVE IT!)... This Moto is thru Verizon... can I make it compatible w/ T-Mobile so I can sim card swap and call it a day??
On the acatel site in canada it says i can only buy the (5.5) phone from a carrier but it also says its unlocked??? Is the phone actually unlocked if i buy it from a carrier like telus or bell? Also on a side note u guys think this phone is worth it? I bought a zenfone in july which got stolen and i recently got a htc one m8 that broke on me in the first 5 min so im hoping for this phone to last me a long time.
cant post links to phone since im new srry but the title of the phone on the site is: ALCATEL ONETOUCH IDOL™ 3 5.5 SMARTPHONE (Unlocked)
