Q. Ok, so i need a prepaid android phone with a plan thats 50 dollars or less with unlimited web and text. But most importantly it has to have a really really good battery life!
A. Probably the best prepaid plan for unlimited web and messaging is the Virgin Mobile Beyond Talk plan that gives you 300 anytime minutes per month, along with unlimited web and messaging. It costs me $25.00 a month plus tax and fees. Here in the U.S., that comes out to $27.19 a month. There is no contract. This is the plan I have.
The best Android phone they have on the plan is, in my opinion, the LG Optimus V. This is the phone I have. They also have a new phone available called the Motorola Triumph that looks nice. Of course, you have to buy the phone outright. The LG Optimus V is $149.99 + tax; the new Motorola Triumph is $299.99 + tax.
Keep in mind that these phones are 3G only (are not 4G enabled), and only work on Sprint's 3G network. There is no roaming on other carrier's networks. So as long as you are within range of a Sprint tower, you are OK.
As far as battery life goes, no Android smart phone has "really really good battery life." The display screen takes a lot of power, as does the transmit function when you are making calls, sending emails and messages, or surfing the web. Even playing games uses a lot of battery power for the display.
To put it in perspective, keep in mind that these smart phones are essentially micro-computers with cell phone functions. How long can you reasonably expect a small 1300 to 1500 mAh battery to last?
Depending on your phone settings, screen brightness level, and how much you use the phone, you should be able to get 6 to 12 hours of "normal" usage with the phone with a fully charged battery. If the phone is just 'on' (standby mode) with the screen darkened, you might get upward of 24 to 48 hours of standby time.
Most people I know who own a smart phone, including myself, charge it every evening so that it is fully charged in the morning when they go to work or whatever. It's also a very good idea to have a charger available wherever you are, so that you can plug in the phone to charge it if the battery runs low.
The other option is to have a spare battery, or buy an external phone charger that has a built-in battery.
Some folks opt to buy an extended life battery. This usually means that you also have to change the rear cover of the phone, because the extended life battery is physically thicker than the standard battery, so the original cover will not fit with the extended life battery.
Hope this info helps you out.

What are good Android phones for Verizon?
Q. I'm looking to sell my iPhone for Verizon and get an Android phone because I'm getting really bored with iOS, what're some good Android phones? Not cheap ones either, I want a GOOD, functional one with good battery life, I use my phone ALL DAY and I don't want an Android phone with TONS of glitches. I'll pay up to 300$ for it, maybe 50-100$ more if it's worth it. I use my phone a lot for Social networking also.
Please help, this is greatly appreciated(:
