The 5 best value smartphones

In the coming months, many of us will be inundated with a slew of new phones, making us regret that brand new(to us) phone that we spent so much on. It's frustrating how they state a phone as obsolete after a couple of months. Many of us would not care to buy new when they already have an adequate phone. Others still just want to purchase a smartphone that has features we actually use, with recent technology and to be relatively affordable. Affordability is a huge factor. For those that just want a competent smartphone without the unnecessary bells and whistles- check these phones out. These phones are listed according to my personal experience with some of them, are brand new and are each under $300.00.They are all touch screen types too. (Sadly, physical keys are a dying breed.)

Another phone from the Galaxy line. It brings to the table a decently sized screen, Android OS 2.2 (Froyo), and a high class smartphone look among many other features. On first seeing it, I thought it was more expensive than it is- and that's a good thing. Just don't expect fantastic pictures. it looks better than it feels though...

LG has it's own premium smartphone line- the Optimus brand. This phone is one of the more affordable choices. It is an exceptionally stylish and unique phone and comes in varying colours. It's a great start up phone and for people who marvel at these phones as if it was shipped direct from the year 2030 makes it a good option. Don't expect too save a huge amount of apps though, space is limited.
