No Contract Phones 2015

These phones make great audio players - audiobooks, podcasts, music - and BF is the best time to get one, because prices are really low. The key thing is to avoid getting an underpowered device. This post will list the phones and key specs. Prices and stores will be listed on the front page. Ratings are from Amazon.
