Where on earth are you seeing the price at? o.o
EDIT:Snooped on their FB page... http://screensnapr.com/v/LSgjKz.jpg

Thank goodness they have priced it that high. I don't think they will get a lot ports at that price. Anyone looking for prepaid for iPhone would probably go the used GSM version on Straight talk or Simple Mobile instead.

I still dont really know what to think about this whole Iphone on virgin mobile thing...

But hell, who am I?

Im not going to bad mouth the iphone, its a nice phone, but I'd definitely take the EVO over it. Im happier with my OV than I would be with an Iphone...

Honestly, is there anyone who reads/posts here that would (not only really consider, but) actually buy the Iphone on VM?

THIS!

Also WTF? $650 Yeah even if I wanted a iPhone(Which I don't. I still wouldn't pay that.)

The main downside? You need to buy your phone at full price, which means $650 big ones for a 16GB iPhone 4S.

Sprint is dreaming if the think anyone will pay that much for it.

You severely under estimate the stupid in this country.
Besides, it will pay for itself in well under a year compared to a post paid.

It will probably be the most profitable Iphone out since they aren't subsidizing the hell out of it.

I personally have like ten family members that have iPhones. They all think apple is faultless, so I completely agree with Leslie about people being willing to pay for the iPhone. Just think, we're all willing (when we have the money) to by a $300 evo, so why wouldn't the iSheep (who are even more devoted to apple than we are to a particular phone) buy a $600 phone.

I can see people getting it.

shes correct. never under estimate an angry iphone user fed up with the insane prices at&t,verizon charge just to use an iPhone on their networks. a pal has 4s on at&t and is getting ripped monthly. $40 for a weak talk,text plan...data seperate charge in the $35 to $40 range...complete rip off. so i can see a number of those customers jumping ship to prepaid even if they gotta buy a new device.

In case anyone is wondering, there are news outlets picking up this story, and they report that a no contract iPhone with VM can save you $750 over the course of 2 years by not paying AT&Ts overpriced plans:

The initial cost still raises the question who would lay down that much upfront? I can see young people who own a Mac and want to integrate the iPhone into the Apple ecosystem buying this. Other than that, I'm not sure. But definitely Mac owners

Re: Yup, iphone

They're selling a horrible phone for an even worse price. I wouldn't pay $50 for that piece of junk....

 

[droidmyme]

The Galaxy Nexus on VM... sigh. A man can dream

I dislike how the iPhone is a $30 plan.... but people who have the grandfather plan and want to switch to a 4G phone have to pay the $35. Nice strategy virgin mobile -_-
IPhones suck. Nuff said.
