They say “there’s no such thing as a free lunch.” They also say “there’s no such thing as an unlimited contract-free $45 monthly unlimited plan that offers awesome phones,” so we’re not terribly surprised to see that TracFone’s new blowout offering — dubbed Straight Talk — is rife with ancient Motorolas (with a RAZR V3a thrown in for good measure, of course) and an LG flip that we’re pretty sure we saw McClane use in the first Die Hard. Then again, the plan becomes the one of the cheapest for unlimited voice and text anywhere — and if you’re less heavy on the minutes you can even step down to 1,000 minutes and 1,000 texts for $30 — so we’ll let it slide. But seriously, TracFone, we expect a V9 by 2012.
