Straight Talk Fans Can Rejoice With the New Samsung Galaxy Precedent™ Phone
Once in a while, a really great piece of technology arrives on the scene that is economical, versatile and useful. Such is the case with the Samsung Galaxy Precedent™, powered by Android™ 2.2 Froyo OS.
Features
The Galaxy Precedent has a 3.2″ touch screen with 320 X 480 pixels of resolution and is GPS enabled. Some other features that are worth mentioning are the 3G Wi-Fi connectivity capability, 2 MP camera/video recorder and Bluetooth. In addition, the smartphone is powered by an 800MHz application processor, further advanced by 384MB RAM, microSD card slot to hold memory expansion up to 32GB and is also pre-installed with a 2GB microSD card and MP3 player.
Other features that users may want to know about are that it comes preloaded with a Gravity sensor with tilt/shake, the Android Market, and of course, a wide variety of Google, as well as carrier services. Speaking of carrier, the Galaxy Precedent, also officially known as Model Samsung M828C, is on the Sprint network.
Service Plan
This is the first Android phone being offered on the Straight Talk service. One thing that I do want to bring to your attention is that in order to activate your new phone, you must purchase the Straight Talk Unlimited Service Plan for $45. You won’t be able to get the $30 All You Need Plan that Straight Talk offers; the phone just won’t work with it. The purchase of the phone can be done without signing a contract – isn’t that wonderful? And, there are no hidden fees that you need to worry about. The 30-day unlimited service plan will provide you with:
• Unlimited Talk & Unlimited Text / MMS messages Nationwide
• Unlimited Data / Mobile Web Access / Email
• Unlimited Calls to 411
Pros and Cons
Even though the new Precedent uses an earlier OS, the reviews I have read do not seem to indicate that while being moderately slow, speed is not a major drawback. Yes, it will be slower than the newer OS out there, but as long as you’re patient, you’ll be able to enjoy the phone. One definite positive note is that you can choose out of 5 options what you’d like to have as your Home Screen.
Some of the people did mention that the sound level on the Android is just average. They recommended having a good set of headphones or speakers so you can hear better. Battery life seems to be substantial. According to the write-up, the battery talk time life is touted to be estimated to be at six hours with standby time lasting up to nine days.
So if you’re looking for a good quality pay-as-you-go phone, why not consider getting the new Samsung Galaxy Precedent™ Phone from Straight Talk. It will set you back for roughly $150 for the phone itself (the service plan is in addition). Just think; you’ll have over 250,000 Android apps. What could be better than that?
