  1. What does it mean by no annual contract?
    Is that like full retail price or something that I can use as media player without service (like an iPod)? =/

    1. It means you don’t have to sign a contract. You can just buy it for $200 and do whatever you want with it. Even use it like an iPod =p

      1. Yay!
        Thanks for your magical awesomeness, Chris! ^^

    2. I pay Tmo $49 a month to run my off-contract G1 on their network (‘Unlimited’ Android data, No SMS). These plans are hard-to-find, but generally $20 per mo cheaper than if you are ‘leasing’ a Tmo phone on the account..

    3. Or you can do their no contract plan so for $50 you can unlimited talk/text/web with first 100 mb at 4G speeds; or for $60get up to 2gb at 4G…or even do a $30 plan that gives you 1500 min/txt with 30mb of data…or this probably would work with the walmart 100 min.unlimited data plan…as well as the pay per day plan or pay as you go – so options that are cheaper than contract plan rates

  2. Fail

    1. How’s it a fail? Great midrange android phone on the cheap.

  3. I’m definitely gonna get my hands on this one!

  4. Keep in mind this is a phone that works with T-Mobile’s 4G network, that is being sold at WalMart, to take full advantage of their 30.00 unlimited web and text plan, which gives you 5GB at 4G speed before throttling. Previous phones available there are 3G only, the only Android of which is the Samsung Dart, which sucks. This is going to be a great little phone for 200

    1. Yeah; I thought T-Mobile would just offer something like the Exhibit I for $200. This is even better! :D

      EDIT: Wait, I thought the Exhibit II had a 1.4GHZ processor or something. Are you sure it’s a 1GHZ?

  5. no amoled screen?

  6. Yo dawg, I heard you liked the first Samsung Xzibit so we made another one so you can google while you google.

    Sorry that’s the best I got.

  7. I just won this phone for free.  I was going to get an iPhone cuz I have a Mac but part of me wanted to wait till the next gen iPhone because I think it might be 4G LTE and if I get one now, I wouldn’t be available for an upgrade.  Is t his Exhibit 2 a good decent phone?  I didn’t want to buy a new phone on Tmobile cuz honestly who knows what is going to happen to them with the whole merger stuff?  If you’re not on a contract, no one has to honor your plan prices or features…and who knows if this $200 phone would work with the new merged company – esp as there are rumors that prepaid might go to MetroPCS instead of ATT
