g510 android phone Christmas present for my son

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) December 30, 2011 -- I was just shopping for a little Christmas present for my son when I thought, hmmm, how about a g510 android phone that actually works?

Meanwhile, I've been paying 29/mo. That's it. 29 plus a buck for sales tax. No fees, no weird surcharges, no having to scrutinize the bill, no class action lawsuits and, most of all, no counting texts or watching internet usage and, thanks to SIPP and Google Voice, no worries about long distance or minutes either - just 29 bucks and done.

Yeah, the phone itself doesn't have much internal memory but, I slid in a 16gig microSD card and, no problem - every app, mp3 and video I need is right there. And really, you don't really need to carry it all with you. I work at a desk all day and, all day, I'm streaming from Google Music, Amazon Cloud player, Pandora, the BBC, TuneIn Radio, Spotify (yeah, literrally, 8 to 12 hours a day, all day, no problem and no worries). Oh, and Virgin Mobile Live, free app on the phone, is not to shabby a station either, and it streams, all day.

Before even talking about the phone, let me just say that I don't need to live my life in fear of my texting limits, voice minutes, or data caps and that means that I have a phone I can actually use. My Verizon & ATT friends live in fear - need I say more about the number one purpose for having an Android phone in the first place?

The phone itself can be made to tether to my iPod, iPad or my son's DS which, we do occasionally but, since everything is on the Android phone anyway, why bother. Its there if I need it, which is great because it sucks to need something and not have it...almost as much as paying an extra 25/mo to get it from Verizon or ATT and never use it.

So 2 years and, although I was thinking about upgrading to the latest greatest in Virgin's mobile stable, I think that I'm going to stick with this one for now. I saw that they lowered the price of the phone, and raised the price of my plan to 35/mo (all us old faithful users are grandfathered at the old price) but, still a bargain!

Bottom line: if you're going to use your phone for stuff, and use it often, and don't want to live in fear of the 'bill shock' this is a great carrier/phone combo. No, its not the latest dual core gHz AMOLED ice cream sandwiched techno-masterpiece, its just a work horse that does 99% of what you need. GPS, no problem: I'm an avid Google Maps user, and every day I use CardioTrainer to track my running/biking/hiking - flawless. Social networking: I'm using the Google+ app, works fine, as does Twitter (eesh, and Facebook if you have to). Text: Get Google Voice ASAP - flawless. Tunes: Audible, Pandora, Slacker, Spotify, Virgin Mobile Live, Sticher, and so many more. I check out video from CNET and have used other apps but, can't speak much to that other than to say it works fine. Games: Yeah, Angry Birds et al works fine, at least according to my son, who never stops playing that and the other 200+ games we've accumulated (thanks Amazon free app of the day!).

I bought another one of these just too goof around with and root - gingerbread and ice cream sandwich work and look great on this phone and there are some nice custom ROMs out there if you're so inclined. Virgin/Sprint say a Gingerbread upgrade is in the works but, I wouldn't hold my breath. Android 2.2 is kind of old but, nevertheless, if you're looking for something that just works, it may be old but its very dependable (eg: stable, doesn't crash and I can always take a call no matter what's running - that's what phones are for, right?)

Said much more than I meant too so, let me say this to wrap it up (the real bottom line, promise): this is the Honda Civic of phones and service. You have to pay a little more up front, and you know that you're not getting the latest in car stereo's or flashy trim but, you also know that a Civic will always get you to work, sip gas, and you won't need to budget each month for repairs. At the current price, you don't even have to pay a lot up front.

In other words, this phone will not impress your local barista techno fashion wannabes but you will NOT feel any remorse if you find something you like better 6 months from now, drop it in the toilet, or leave it at the restaurant. You won't worry about handing it to the kids to play games while out at the restaurant, or dropping it, jogging with it if it looks like it might rain and, if Virgin's service doesn't fly for you, well, you're not really out anything and you're not tied to a contract for the next 2 years.
