I’ve been keeping my eyes open lately for the best new prepaid smart phones. The reason I’ve been looking at prepaid phone is because the idea of having no contract (and having a nice phone to boot) is very compelling to me. I’ve had a Verizon contract phone for the bulk of my life (yes, that sounds very long). It’s true. Since I’ve had a cell phone, it’s always been on the Verizon wireless network. I started looking for prepaid phones about a year and a half ago. Since then, I cycled through MetroPCS, TracFone, and even the Verizon Unleashed prepaid deal for a brief period of time, but eventually landed on Straight Talk Wireless.

Straight Talk is interesting because it actually utilizes Verizon’s network in parts of the country (and AT&Ts in other parts). The phone that really sticks out to me right now after examining almost all of the phones from this company is Straight Talk’s Nokia E5 smartphone. It’s the latest phone to be released to Straight Talk. I not only like the look of this phone, but I also like the feel of it (it’s actually mostly plastic except for a metal battery door), and I love the screen. Since this Nokia Straight Talk smart phone is to be used with the Straight Talk unlimited plan, it makes sense that you want a screen that is amenable to surfing the web. Unlimited web browsing is my favorite thing with this phone. Sure, you can’t watch videos that well, but if you’re looking for a phone number, directions (there’s actually a voice-guided navigation feature on this phone) then you’re in luck.
The Nokia E5 for Straight Talk is a 3G capable wifi phone that can connect to the Internet in a coffee shop or wherever there is wifi, which saves on your time usage. The Nokia E5 (like the Nokia E71 and Nokia 6790) is prepaid and does not require a contract. This makes me happy, since I do not have to feel like I’m stuck with a company. If I ever get tired of my phone, I can just walk away and sell the E5 on eBay.
