Q. Anyone who has it, do you like it? If I have the $45/month unlimited Straight Talk plan, do I get unlimited internet use/data or is it limited to 2G/month? Is it still the same Verizon coverage as the other Straight Talk phones?
A. I have been using it for about a week now, and I am very impressed. For the last 4-5 years at least, all the Verizon-based phones on Straight Talk, TracFone and Net10 have been less desirable than their AT&T-based counterparts. Based on that experience, I didn't have the highest expectations for the "Samsung Galaxy Proclaim," the first Straight Talk smart phone to use the Verizon Network.
So far, I have been very happy with it. Here are some reasons why:
It has a 1Ghz processor that is snappy enough to make the phone run pretty quickly.
I love using Swype to compose text messages.
My data connection speeds have been acceptable and at least as good as I expect.
Battery life is very good - it has lasted me all day during my most vigorous testing.
I have installed quite few apps and they all run well.
All in all, I think for $180 for the phone and $45 a month, this Android phone running on Verizon is a great deal.
Some people questioned the size of the phone (3.5-inch screen), and that's really a matter of personal preference. With new phones such as the Samsung Galaxy Note (5.5-inch screen), the trend seems to be toward bigger devices. For me personally, a one-handed phone is better. I have also used an HTC Inspire with a 4.3 inch display, and it was very very nearly too large for me to hold the phone in one hand and still be able to reach all corners of the screen with my thumb. And a screen that big requires a lot of juice to light it up, and this necessitates a big battery that adds substantial weight and bulk.
Another thing is that the Proclaim is running with the Gingerbread version of Android, not the newer Ice Cream Sandwich. But Google has been pretty slow to roll out ICS phones, so I'm not surprised that the Proclaim is Gingerbread. I've heard great things about ICS, but I'm content with Gingerbread and I'm pretty sure that 90% of phone users out there will be happy with it too, especially on a prepaid phone.
I'll be posting more info about this on the site referenced below, including some videos and lots of pictures. If you have more questions, you can definitely post them in the comments section on any page of that site and I'll do my best to answer you.

What are some inexpensive decent smartphones out there on the market?
Q. I currently have an Android Atrix, and it's pretty much unusable. I'm desperate for a new smartphone, and I want the Samsung Galaxy S3, but it's pretty pricey. My contract is in September, when i'm legible for an upgrade, so i'm planning on just waiting until September to upgrade to the Galaxy. From now until then, I would like a decent smartphone but only temporary.
I have AT&T, and I would like the phone to have the app WhatsApp and Viber, etc on it.
thank you!
