Budget Smartphone Decent Camera..Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime

Just picked up this Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime on Cricket (At&t network) as my T-Mo smartphone does not have coverage in some more remote areas that I have customers and At&t does cover. For it's entry level price of $29.99 after in store discount for for porting in a line (rarely used from another carrier), I also get a $100. credit applied to the service after 45 days of use..sweet.

What surprised me about this budget phone is the call quality, excellent battery life, decent screen (but no threat to most any flagship phones), and a surprisingly good camera. If one is hard on phones, this one is certainly a contender with it's low price.

These two images below are from it's 8mp camera and straight out of the phone, no post processing. Detail is good, even when viewed large. In the budget phone category, I give it a solid 8/10.
