Samsung Dart Target $44

Just in case anyone is interested in this low end budget Android, I saw it at a few Targets yesterday on clearance for $44 and change.

Original price was $149.

A good buy for sure!

I'm trying to get one for my girlfriend as we're both moving over to TMO....went to three different targets nearby to no avail. Of course Ebay is now littered with some. Sigh.

I have a Dart. It comes with Android 2.2 (Froyo) installed. I have found several apps, notably bank-related that will not work with 2.2, you need minimum Android version 2.3 (Gingerbread) for some of those.

For an entry-level Android, it's a good phone and it includes T-Mobile's WiFi Calling app which does use minutes, if you are not on an unlimited plan.

The HowardForums app also works with the Dart.

My Dart is on the $2.00/day unlimited plan which includes unlimited 2G data, so I have the phone set to use the EDGE (2G) network, although the Dart includes the 1700/2100 UMTS bands, but only up to 3G speeds (7.2Mbps). If you want up to 3G speeds for data, you would need to get at least the $3/day plan or one of the monthly plans.

I remember seeing a dart in Target what seemed such a long time ago but not recently so I assume that might've been some old stock that was getting rid of in order to make room for newer phones.

Forgive me, but I had a good chuckle when I saw this. Back in 2010, the T--Mobile store in Keene, NH closed up shop. Shortly afterwards, the Target there dumped all their T--Mobile Monthly phones. I believe I got 4 of the Dart for $45 (I still have one NIB, one is in Michigan, and I am not sure where the other 2 are). I also scored a LG GS170 for $10. Remember that this back in December of 2010 I got these (pic in another thread here somewhere). Since then Keene’s Target would get T-Mobile phone in from time to time and then put them right out on the clearance rack. I’ve since picked up a Sparq for $15 and a Concord for $30. I keep hoping to walk into the store and see a L9 for $100.

Didn't see any T-Mobile phones on clearance but I walked out with a Gateway 15.6" AMD A8-4500M quad-core laptop for $265! I always swing by the laptops after I look at the clearance end cap.

Really wow that's cheap for back in 2010. I never saw them at this low price till a few weeks ago, I only have seen them for about $149.
