Straight Talk Samsung Galaxy Discover S730G Review

Submitted by Dave Won on Thu, 09/27/2012

This is going to be a pretty cool little phone when it comes out it will be the first Straight Talk phone with Android Icecream Sandwich 4.0 OS installed. Running on the AT&T network so the coverage is going to be as good as it gets. I for one will be getting this phone.  This phone is only 4.4 inches long so it will be good to have a powerful phone that actually fits in your pocket. More info will be posted as it comes in.

Coming to Straight Talk the Unimax U670C is going to be the cheapest Android phone the company has offered, it will be under $100 as it is basic as they come which is good for those that want a touch screen for cheap. Never heard of Unimax? You’re not alone!

Android and the battle with Malware

Submitted by Dave Won. on Fri, 07/06/2012

During the last year, the Android OS has been plagued with Malware, almost gaining a reputation that Microsoft gained with Windows OS on desktop computers during the last few decades. So why is Android being attacked with Malware? This is a good question given that it is based on Linux OS an Operating System that has always been known for not needing anti-malware/Antivirus software.

3 more Android phones for Straight Talk

Submitted by Dave Won on Sat, 05/12/2012

On the horizon another 3 more Android phones to come to Straight Talk all of these phones that could be on the shelves before July are going to be hard to beat. I predict that these phones will be around the $100 mark and they could be even less. The Androids: ZTE 990G Merrit,Huawei M865C and Samsung S720C So if you’re an Android fan like many are this is going to be good news. Straight Talk in the 3 years they have been around has brought out a lot of phones, maybe more than any other provider to date.

Straight Talk LG Optimus 2X 4G Review

Submitted by Eric Smith on Tue, 01/24/2012

For most people this phone to get outright at $249 might be hard to afford, but if you can muster the cash, this phone sure is with every penny. I really don’t think anyone could have guessed that this phone would be coming out on Straight Talk & Net10 on the $45 unlimited plan. This phone is big, solid and powerful. I mean you can't expect anything more really for the price. Next thing Samsung Galaxy S II will be on Straight Talk. Anyway, the phone is really nice… exactly the same as the G2X that came out on T-Mobile last year, and nothing has been skipped. It has the same FCC ID. We already knew this but just to confirm the phone is using T-Mobile’s network... Which officially means Straight Talk has used every major network. The 8 MegaPixel camera on this phone is good during the day, but night shots with the LED flash are not good.

Straight Talk's new LG Optimus 2X 4G

Submitted by Dave Won on Mon, 01/16/2012
More Android based phones are on the way from Straight Talk Prepaid, which is exciting news for Straight Talk fans. It seems that Straight Talk just keep pushing and pushing the envelope when it comes to prepaid smart phones. In the third quarter we got the LG Optimus Q and Samsung Galaxy Precedent. Soon the company will have under its belt the LG Optimus Black and the LG Optimus 2X for sale of Straight Talk and Net10's website. The big question is will this phone be on the AT&T network or T-Mobile? 2012 will be a great year for prepaid. We’re excited!

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Review

Submitted by Dave Won. on Mon, 01/09/2012
This is a pretty cool tablet that pretty much is everything you are looking for in a tablet for around the $400 mark and does everything the iPad does and more. So it is hard to know where to start with this device it's just such a cool device to have, and it really does look like an iPad, there is no denying that. It is just like a laptop but with great battery life, I know for some people it is hard to get away from using a mouse and keyboard and because of this you can buy keyboard docks for this tablet, and if you don’t want to fork out $70 for one of these you can always use a generic Bluetooth keyboard or mouse because there are still some websites that are a little hard to use on a tablet due to the fact that they are not designed for it. In fact, we have been working to make Wontek.com work a bit better on tablet devices seeing they are quickly taking over as devices for Internet usage. I don’t really want to crap on the specs too much as I know people really don’t give a crap they want to know if it is usable or not, and whether it is a quality product or not, and this is a classy product that does all that. It really doesn’t matter who you are when you use this thing, there are apps and other things that you will just love using on this tablet. The screen is really responsive, and has amazing battery life, something like a smart phone, but even with a heavy use you probably can get away with only charging the Galaxy 10.1 once every few days. Go out and have a look at a demo model at your local electronic store you will be pressed to find a reason not to get one for yourself... well done Samsung!

Imputing this number instead of a phone number will bring a hidden menu screen that will give several options that are not viable in the normal settings screen. * # * # 4 6 3 6 # * # * Now you can access battery information, Usage statistics and other phone information.
