i beleieve the issues for Jelly Bean on the L9 have been resolved: http://androidcommunity.com/t-mobile-lg-optimus-l9-jelly-bean-update-rolling-out-again-20130712/
ReplyDeleteVirgin mobile Samsung s3 on Amazon is $399 not $350 and comes with Icecream not Jelly bean
ReplyDeleteYou're right. It was $349.99 early this morning when I wrote this piece. Amazon changes their prices more often than the airlines unfortunately. I've removed the S III from the post as it's no longer a "deal" at list price.
DeleteI think the ICS in Amazon's specs is an error. The Virgin S III was released with JB, it's unlikely that Amazon got downgraded phones
There also the Blu Life Play ($229 or cheaper). It comes with earphones, screen protector, and case. And the Blu Dash 4.5 ($139). These are pretty cheap phones. The Blu life series seems to be getting decent reviews from youtube, amazon, and phonedog. They are also coming out with 2 other new phones in the future. The Blu life view and one.
ReplyDeleteDennis:
ReplyDeleteDid you read article on phonearena.com about upcoming LG Exalt flip phone and Samsung Stellar coming to prepaid on Verizon?
I missed it until you mentioned it. Found it buried in the story Leaked Verizon road map shows launch dates for the HTC One and Motorola Moto X. Based on the leaked document
DeleteThe Exalt is a basic flip phone that's rumored to be launching 7/25
The Stellar is a year old midrange LTE Android rumored to be launching 8/29. Verizon will probably remove LTE for prepaid like they did with the LG Exceed
