I appreciate the effort on Boom!'s part, but it is just really weak. I would almost an entity rather not make such offerings.
ReplyDeleteWho would want these phones they are old
ReplyDeleteHorrible devices. I know its free but i dont think too many people will jump at this deal. Who uses 2.3 gingerbread in 2016? Too small of screen on the phones to.
ReplyDeleteFree gingerbread!? Oh my!!!
ReplyDeleteAre they unlocked?
ReplyDeleteSim unlocked would almost make the pantech worth its free price. I sort of assume all gingerbread can be bootloader unlocked, right? 3g on verizon is truely worthless, but i like that museum piece motorla droid! Is it brand new? It came out in 2009! I want it for my collection, will look nice resting next to my google g1, and i can show my kids someday, the first andriod devices ever!
Deleteomg...
ReplyDeleteAre these old phones even safe / secure to use? I see people mention lack of security patches for much newer phones (recent Moto's for instance) and I can't imagine these phones being up to date re known vulnerabilities / exploits.
ReplyDeleteI here Pentech was bankrupt. Howvwer, I wonder how they get the old phones?
ReplyDeleteLooks like the Pantech Breakout is the only one offered as of today 11/8...Need something usable not archaic. Could have at least offered an LG or Samsung with Jelly Bean or newer?
