I'm currently using a Samsung Corehhh Prime phone on Verizon.  It's nothing to brag about, but it suits my needs.  I really only use chrome, gmail, phone, sms, & gmaps in that order.  Once in a blue moon, I use the camera to document something.  What I DON'T need is all the crapware from verizon & samsung.   I'm considering rooting the phone or just buying a rooted verizon phone from Amazon.
