Decent New Smartphones Under $100.00??

by jackthejesusfreak - 9/10/12 7:20 AM

I am a Verizon user and would like to upgrade to the Share Everything plan. I am upgrading my basic phone via an
upgrade but my wife's not due until April '13.

Are there any new decent smartphones that can be purchased without the upgrade feature for around $100?

Thanks in advance.

You didn't tell the forum what is decent.

For some, that's ANY phone that can play Angry Birds. Another user might want more.

Touch screen, with email, browser, and a gig or more storage.

As to storage, some get upset about onboard versus a microSD card for storage. Is that an issue here?

I presume you also mean unsubsidized

You might find a few NIB from ebay/craigslist, etc. for around $100. I see mostly refurbished inventory in this general price range though. Most of the latest smartphones will cost at least twice that, unsubsidized via carrier channels, and even on fleabay. Pop over now and come back with questions on specific models you are interested in if you need help.

Check out the Droid Razr and the Droid Razr M (newer model) both for 100 with upgrade and very high end features on the M
