Straight Talk LG Optimus Q Review

Submitted by Dave Won. on Thu, 10/27/2011
The LG Optimus Q, Straight Talk’s second Android phone is on its way. If you're interested you can already pre-order the phone at Straight Talk reserve order page here: http://reserve.straighttalkandroid.com/. This is a great phone with the addition of a full QWERTY keyboard. The LG Optimus Q is not a new model, it came out last year. This phone should be better than the Samsung Galaxy Precedent, LG from my experience have always made better phones. So this LG Optimus Q should make the competition worry. It is however going to be on the Sprint Network so check coverage maps before you order.

Cricket ZTE Score Review

Submitted by Dave Won. on Wed, 10/12/2011
For some time now is a ZTE has been making very cheap phones for prepaid, but recently they brought out their first Android phone which is the ZTE Score is out in the United States on the prepaid brand Cricket Mobile. Currently you can purchase this phone for $89 excluding tax at Best Buy and other good phone retailers. Just some of the features of this phone are the 3.5-inch LCD screen which is the capacity screen touch screen. As with most Android phones it has a proximity sensor so the phone knows when it is being tilted to one side. Android 2.3 OS gingerbread is installed powered by a 600 MHz CPU. Probably one of the only features that really is lacking quality on this phone is its 3.2 megapixel camera it is not fantastic quality. The ZTE Score also has a GPS navigation software and hardware bulitin and has a Micro-SD slot for memory expansion. Included is a 4 GB Micro SD card which is a great value add especially when the phone is a cheap price already. This phone is in the Sprint network which has great coverage in most of the major cities, but if you're a person is traveling into the country areas you’re probably not going to find this phone as great as somebody in the city. In any case go out and either get the phone hands on, tested it or watch our video review to find out more about this new Cricket phone.

NET10 LG Optimus Q Review

Submitted by Dave Won. on Fri, 09/30/2011
Net10 users have reason to get excited; not one but two Androids are going to be released soon. The NET10 LG Optimus Q is going to be a little ripper, like all the Tracfone brands this phone will be using the Sprint Network. I think this a good move and should make Turk, Sweeper and the gang very happy. So good times form Straight Talk who get this phone aswell.

Samsung Galaxy Precedent Review

Submitted by Dave Won. on Thu, 09/15/2011

This is a nice phone, but it appears people’s thoughts about the Sprint network (this is the network that Straight Talk uses on this phone) is exactly what was feared. We got no coverage in Phoenix and we are not the only ones. Please let us know if you have had success where you live!

AVG for Android Review

Submitted by Dave Won on Tue, 09/13/2011

I have got to say if you’re an Android user and you haven’t already installed the free AVG Mobilation or purchased the pro version you know how this app can protect your phone and is so easy to use.
I personally have been an AVG user for over 10 years and when I found out that it was out on Android OS I was very excited.
This installation from the Android market place is as easy as installing any other application, it puts a tablet looking icon on the desktop that you simply click/touch to tart then you can run a scan of the items on your phone.

Samsung Galaxy 5 i5500 review

Submitted by Mike on Tue, 06/28/2011
This Samsung phone I was excited about reviewing, but after I had the phone in my hand I was shocked by how bad this phone really is. Firstly the loading time on the phone was crazy, I was expecting to be around the same speed as other Androids of this price range, but this phone fails miserably. Once the phone is loaded it had the interface that has become familiar with all versions of Android OS. Using the touch screen is a nightmare, it doesn't respond well at all to input, and the hardware keys that are below the touch screen are awful and stiff.

AT&T LG Thrive Android Review

Submitted by Dave Won on Sat, 06/11/2011
Review of the LG Thrive from AT&T. When we opened this phone we were thinking because of the price this phone would have a cheap type feeling when being use, while infact we found the exact oposite, this phone is a bargan! It is load with 3G, Wifi, GPS and much mare as you can see from the specs below. Another thing that stood out was how much stuff there was in the package (see video) probably the best presented prepaid I have ever seen, this phone is just awesome at the price of $149.99 at Frys Elecetronics. The touch pad is responsive infact the whole phone is responsive, it's a great phone. I would love to come up with some negitaves, but there isn't.
