Update!
Straight Talk’s problems with AT&T have obviously been resolved with AT&T sim cards appearing on the site again with free shipping. In the last year there have been a lot of rumors about the relationship with Straight Talk (Tracfone) and AT&T. Hopefully this will lay the rumors to rest. The capping of data on many prepaid plans has obviously taken its toll on people as T-Mobile’s plans and prepaid have gained 1 million subscribers in the last 6 months that is a huge turn around, and is almost always because people are looking for a better deal.
The Nokia Lumia 710 was an absolute pleasure to use. After just 5 minutes of using it I was pleasantly surprised how well it responded to the touch screen and the speed at which applications loaded. This phone is priced at $300 currently and costs way too much for what it is. $200 tops would be my suggestion. I have never been a huge fan of Windows but this phone certainly is a mind changer. Anyway enjoy the review by the beautiful Jing.

After reviewing the Samsung Exhibit II from T-Mobile, there is a sense that competition is heating up with the paid providers. The fact the phone is a 4G capable phone has put at the front of the line in terms of prepaid phones under $200. Why other phone reviewers continue to push rip-off plans where you end up pay six times the amount than you can get it for on T-Mobile prepaid is just crazy. The camera on this phone is really sweet, and as you can see from the photo that Sarah has taken below, this phone if anything makes a great Camera... but of course, it is way more than that! This is a really decent and easy to use Smartphone, ok so the T-Mobile plans are not going to suit everyone but if you're already with T-Mobile and using an older phone… just stick your Sim-card in, and you’re away.
Many times people have asked myself where on earth do you go on the T-Mobile website to recharge their prepaid mobile, so when to the website it to be honest it wasn’t blazingly obvious where the recharge page was some I have put the link here:

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.
The average American probably has used prepaid before and may for some reason have changed over to a plan setup because of some bad experiences in service in the past and never taken the plunge back into the prepaid market that can save you some serious dollars.
The pending take over of Nokia by Microsoft has been boosting share prices for the embattled company, but what will the long term effects be? For myself the whole idea is just one big joke, Microsoft hasn't proven that it can create or write any software that isn't plagued with bugs so how is a take over from Microsoft ever going to help the once powerful Nokia corporation.
