The best Straight Talk cell phone at the current moment is probably the Samsung r355c, but this isn’t what most users of this prepaid brand will tell you. The truth is that the Samsung Finesse r810c is probably the most revered phone in Straight Talk’s short history of being in existence. People still want to purchase and use this phone even though it is no longer available for sale on the brand website. The Samsung r355c is probably the most popular current phone available because it is priced well and does all the things most prepaid wireless customers look for in a cell phone.

Prepaid users aren’t generally looking for a phone with all the bells and whistles. In fact, they are usually looking for the opposite. They tend to want a phone that will help them save money and won’t look too bad being pulled out of their pocket or purse, although looks and style really are far down the list as far as they are concerned. Which phone is judged as the best Straight Talk cell phone is obviously going to be a very subjective argument since everyone has their own idea of what is the perfect phone. But overall, there are some general criteria that can help us find out which phone satisfies the most needs of its users in general.
The Samsung r355c has a solid structure with a screen and a full qwerty keypad constituting the face of the phone. It does not slide open or anything like that. Instead, the phone is more like a Blackberry with everything you need on the face of the phone right at your fingertips. It is a good middle of the road phone with a basic camera, web browsing ability, and a very good keyboard. Comparing it to the Samsung r451c phone, another Straight Talk phone, it is superior in my opinion because it does not have the sliding apparatus, which can deteriorate over time and takes away from the quality of the one screen.
Read a review of the LG 620G cell phone, another phone that runs with these plans. Also, read a comparison of the brand new Nokia E5 to the Nokia E71. If you’re looking at purchasing one of the better Straight Talk phones, have a look at this comparison. It may help you discover which phone will be better for you.
New Straight Talk Phones
There is a brand new Straight Talk Android phone out now–and it’s the first Android phone model on this service. It also is probably one of the better, if not the best, phones available with the Straight Talk Unlimited plan. It has a nice touch screen, it downloads apps, and it takes voice commands and gives you step by step GPS by voice. It’s a nice phone and the fact that it runs with the unlimited plan is an added bonus because it gives you the ability to actually use the full power of the Straight Talk Android phone.
Aside from the Samsung Precedent Android, the Nokia E5 is another Straight Talk release that got a lot of people excited about getting a prepaid plan. This phone also works exclusively on the Unlimited plan and gives you full access to email, web browsing, and many other “smart phone” functions.
If I had to update this post, I would have to change my opinion and say that the Samsung Precedent is the top Straight Talk phone available right now. It costs $149 with no contract and works with the unlimited plan, which is an additional $45 per month. For an unlimited plan, paying under $50 is not bad.
