Monkey I realize what I'm looking for isn't a wireless external drive but it's called a NAS drive. I'm looking at a WD My Cloud 3TB but I've got no brand preference. So if everyone can keep their eyes open for a good deal. I would appreciate it.

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.


Key Specs --> rating --> price--phone--OS--CPU--GHz--RAM--storage--mSD--display--ppi


Recommended
  • 4.8 -- $60 -- LG Leon --> 5.0--quad-1.2--1GB--8GB--32GB--4.5"--218 --> T-Mobile
  • 4.4 -- $100 -- Moto G 2nd --> 5.0--quad--1.2--1GB--8GB--32G--5.0"--294 --> unlocked
  • 4.3 -- $30 -- Moto E 2nd --> 5.0--quad--1.2--1GB--8GB--32GB--4.5"--245 --> Boost
  • 4.3 -- $10 -- Moto E 2nd --> 5.0--quad--1.2--1GB--8GB--32GB--4.5"--245 --> Verizon
  • 4.1 -- $20 -- LG Tribute 2 --> 5.1--quad--1.2--1GB--8GB--32GB--4.5"--218 --> Virgin
  • 3.9 -- $49 -- Gal Grnd Pr --> 5.1--quad-1.2--1GB--8GB--64GB--5.0"--220 --> StraightTalk
  • 3.0 -- $40 -- ZTE Maven --> 5.1-quad--1.2--1GB--8GB--32GB--4.5"--218 --> AT&T Go

Conditional (older OS)
  • 4.6 -- $30 -- Lumia 640 --> W8.1--quad--1.2--1GB--8GB--128G--5.0"--294 --> AT&T Go
  • 4.5 -- $29 -- LG Transpyre --> 4.4--quad--1.2--1GB--8GB--32GB--4.5"--207 --> Verizon
  • 4.4 -- $40 -- Gal Prevail --> 4.4--quad--1.2--1GB--8GB--128G--4.5"--?? --> Boost

Questionable (older OS - older CPU - low storage)
  • x.x -- $5 -- ZTE Paragon --> 4.4--dual--1.2--1GB--4GB--32GB--4.0"--233 --> Net10

Monkey, does a "no contract phone" mean that I can buy the unit and use it as an iPod without ever paying a phone company for telephone service?

Could I go to a McDonald's with free WiFi and download something, again without ever paying for telephone service?

Yes and yes

You essentially have an Android version of an iPod touch. It's a pocket-sized tablet.

Oooh, I want to get that Moto E for $10 from Best Buy. I have an unlocked Moto E now as my cell phone and like it a lot, except that it has only 2gb memory. The Best Buy one is 8gb; it wouldn't work with my carrier, but would be a nice mini tablet.

YW - do you plan on getting one?

Last year, the best deal for a NCP (no contract phone) was the LG Volt for $30. As soon as the rest of the ads drop, I'll complete the list and let y'all know which ones to get and which ones to snub.

There are two Moto E's revealed so far: Best Buy = $10 and Target = $30. When I get some time, I'll figure out which gens they are and spec them out.

edit: it's the same phone, just different carriers

I love my Volt! I have used it more than any other device except my Nexus 7. I almost got a Moto E last year but if I remember right it doesn't have a SD card slot which is why I bought the Volt for $80 on Amazon.
