Pantech Breakout
$99.99
Released September, 2011
The Pros:4G LTE networking for less. Use as mobile hotspot for up to ten devices. Easy to use in general, interface is pretty intuitive.
The Cons:Battery life is very short, needs to be charged every day without fail. Power button is in a bit of an unusual spot. Fails to send Picture message more often than it sends them.
