5 Best Sprint Phones [November, 2012]

With an up and coming 4G LTE network, an assortment of high-end smartphones, and true unlimited data plans, Sprint is certainly going to be a viable option for many of those looking for a new smartphone in the month of November. Here, we take a look at what we consider to be the five best phones that are or will be available on Sprint’s network this month.

Like AT&T and Verizon, the nation’s third largest carrier, Sprint will be offering quite a few top of the line smartphones in the last part of 2012, something that will make the lives of those looking for a new smartphone difficult. It’s bad enough that AT&T and Verizon have fantastic offerings, but adding a third 4G LTE carrier into the mix makes a decision even harder to make for consumers.

While Sprint’s 4G LTE network is smaller than AT&T’s and Verizon’s, the carrier does offer something that neither of those carriers offers to new customers. True, pure, unlimited data for its smartphones which makes it a carrier worth looking at for those that are coming off contract or looking to buy their first smartphone.

Helping things is the fact that Sprint also offers a sizable smartphone lineup. However, that can be a little bit overwhelming for those looking to snag a smartphone that will need to hold them over for the next two years.

Well, we’re here to help. After taking a look at the 5 Best Phones on AT&T and 5 Best Phones on Verizon, it’s time to take a look at the five best phones available on the Now Network.
