We are signing my brother up to be on framily plan with us. We will have 8 lines with him and two friends who are joining the framily. But anyways my brothers budget is about $100 for a new phone. We have preliminary looked at some options. That being sprints certified preowned options. Of which the LG Viper 4G LTE was one of them. And appeared to be the only one with LTE vs the obsolete wimax (I still groan sprints waste of time and money on that but anyways). Before we commit to a final decision I wanted to ask in here for advice to make sure we make an informed decision. He up until now has not used anything but a very basic phone that does text and calls only. However he expessed the desire to have much more than that which I think maybe even a smartphone wannabe phone (one that doesn't have android, wp8, or iOS) might not be what he will want.
A couple possible points to cover: is there any reason not to get the LG Viper 4G LTE including an alternative model and or brand device that can be had for the same budget that would be a better choice? Note we don't have to get android since there is no established preference. And since I'm most familiar with android over the others what is the most recent official version of android that we can update to? if it is not already updated for us if we are for sure going with the LG Viper 4G LTE.
Thanks.
