LG TSV for Dec. 18

The LG TSV just over a month ago was $130 without free S&H (not $99) and it's currently available for $139. It has the same operating system as this one (KitKat), but doesn't include the Wireless4Life protection plan, nor the option to trade in your old Tracfone for an additional 600 minutes.

This is a good deal for anyone who wants to trade up to a smartphone. I bought last month's TSV - otherwise, I'd buy this one!

Last months TS also had a bigger screen (love that) and a faster processor.

betteb - I agree; the larger screen (of the last TSV) and the Gorilla Glass are both bonuses.

But for someone who's just switching the his or her first smartphone, this new TSV is still a good deal, especially with the protection plan included (for a younger user). It just depends on how much you want to pay.

And there's always a chance HSN will offer the LG 41C as their own TS sometime soon!

I agree it's a good deal for a first timer I don't think I've ever seen a Tracfone TS that wasn't a good deal. I was just trying to explain the price difference.

The $130 is most I ever paid for a Tracfone and it did give me pause, but the big screen is so much better for my old eyes
