Moto E LTE now available on Sprint and Boost Mobile; Virgin Mobile sets for March 9

The Moto E (2015) has been available in the US in unlocked form for a while, and yesterday it's also gone on sale at a couple of carriers. Actually, we're talking about Sprint and one of its prepaid brands - Boost Mobile, to be exact. Sprint's other prepaid brand, Virgin Mobile, will launch the new Moto E on March 9 (which is this coming Monday).

Sprint Pre-Paid will be picking it up in black and selling it through Best Buy and Radio Shack. They also have it listed for $99.99. As you can see in the image above, they aren’t selling through their prepaid online store. It could make an appearance eventually, but for now you will need to visit Best Buy to pick one up.



Boost Mobile is the first to officially launch the device with a starting price tag of $99.99. That is for the LTE variant, making it $50 less than if you bought it out right and unlocked from Motorola. Boost is only offering the device in white though.

The Virgin Mobile variant will also come in black for Virgin Mobile and be sold through Wal-Mart starting March 9th. No mention of price was released in the announcement email I received, but I think it is safe to assume it will also retail for $99.99.

The 2015 Moto E has a 4.5-inch 960x540 display, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of internal storage. It comes in both LTE and non-LTE flavors, featuring 1.2GHz quad-core processors, though the non-LTE version has a Snapdragon 200, while the LTE version has the Snapdragon 410. The Moto E has a 5MP rear camera, with a front-facing VGA sensor.

Choosing the Best Smart Phone for You

It seems like everyone has a smart phone these days. However, it’s difficult to know which smart phone is right for you. Cell phone plans have always been expensive but it’s a whole new ballgame with smartphones. Phone calls, texting, and access to the internet result in charges that often amount to hundreds of dollars each month. However, prepaid android phones offer the luxury of a smart phone without all the cost. Here are three major cell phone carriers providing prepaid android phones.

Motorola Triumph (Virgin Mobile)
The Motorola Triumph is one of a number of 3G enabled prepaid android phones. It comes with a 4.1-inch multi-touch display complete with access to all of Google mobile services. The Virgin Mobile manufactured by Motorola offers the Beyond Talk plan with unlimited data, voice, and texting or a pay by-the-minute PayLo plan. Among the fastest of prepaid android phones, the Motorola Triumph has a 1 GHz processor. In addition, you enjoy all the same benefits of users who are on a contract. Such benefits include Wi-Fi networking, GPS navigation and Bluetooth stereo music. In addition, this has one of the best cameras found in prepaid android phones with a 5-MP camera/camcorder.

U.S. Cellular
U.S. Cellular also has a number of smart phone data plans available for prepaid android phones. For instance, popular smartphones such as the Samsung Galaxy S II, Huawei Ascend II, and the HTC Wildfire all have call, text, and data plans available as prepaid features. U.S. Cellular has two monthly plans available without a contract and anytime cancellation. The first prepaid plan allows users 400 minutes of talk time, 400 text messages, and an extra 400 picture messages for about $35 a month without a contract. For about $50 a month, you also receive a data plan that allows you to surf the web.

Palm Pixi Plus
Though not all carrier features are always supported, the Pixi Plus GSM is compatible with AT&T and T-Mobile carriers. Phone features include a touch screen, Wi-Fi as well as a 2MP camera. The 3G-enabled phone is easily integrated with Facebook, Google, and LinkedIn if users pay for a data plan. A superior feature of the Palm Pixi Plus is its GPS capability. The android phone is compatible with AT&T Navigator’s GPS directions with access to more than 20,000 popular areas spanning the nation. Additional features include up to five and a half hours of talk time and up to 350 hours of standby time.

Finally, with multiple prepaid android phones available free of contract plans, it’s up to you the consumer to choose the phone that’s best for you. Each prepaid phone offers different benefits at different rates with diverse attractions for the user. The best part is that regardless of the plan you choose, you won't be subject to a lengthy contract.
