T-Mobile Prism II Pro Reviews

The T-Mobile Prism II is T-Mobile's least expensive smartphone—and you can tell from a mile away.

If you want a T-Mobile phone with fast data speeds and fast processing speeds, you'll need to fork over more than twice the money you'd pay for the Prism 2. There's nothing wrong with desiring those features, but that's the reality. The dual-core LG Optimus L9, for example, is one of the carrier's cheapest 4G devices, but it costs $240. If that's over your budget, consider the Prism 2. Yes, you'll only get the carrier's 3G network, but the speeds are consistent and decent. As one of the only two smartphones from T-Mobile that are under $200, it's an excellent value. I'd prefer it over the carrier's $153.99 Samsung Gravity Q, not only because the latter's battery is smaller, but also because it doesn't run Android, packs only a 2-megapixel camera, and has a meager helping of internal capacity.
