The Virgin offerings truly sucked. I cant beleive they hosted a big show for three devices, only one of which is really worth it, and thats the one NOT coming to Virgin.

Oh well, I'm moving over to TMo soon anyway.

I wish I knew where and when this event was earlier since I live in NYC

I read a comment on an article suggesting Sprint merge together Virgin and Boost.

To be honest- I agree. Have one line up of phones- (remove "duplicates"- phones that are the same or similar) e.g. Evo Design and Evo V and merge plans- Keep Virgin's 35-45-50/55 plans and add in Boost Mobile's shrinkage to the 55? Could be a great thing. Still, Virgin's only decent phone is the Evo V, but Boost has the Evo AND the SII? Not fair.

Yes is the The Galaxy Reverb as curtis1973 mention.

I know this is the last month Im going to have virgin mobile (T-mobile here I come) but i still dont see why boost mobile has all ways got better/newer phones

Agreed! Virgin Mobile has better plans but way worse phones- All are Mid-low or low end phones where as Boost has some mid-high and highish end phones (Evo, Marquee, SII)

simple mobile...check em out. they have a $40 plan that blows away vms $55 plan imo. gotta pick a costlier device outside the one wildfire I noticed on their site,but its gsm,prepaid and you can use unsupported phones as long as you can configure it to their network.

the 2 GB data is a killer for me

[curtis1973]

well from what I saw on simple mobile site the $40 plan was *unlimited 3G data. but there is the asterisk there. don't know enough about how they operate to say whether they throttle you hard or are more relaxed like vm is. both have a theoretical data cap.

From what I read they will cut you off after 2GB or 100 mb a day. They say your are "abusing" the "unlimited" data

If virgin got the s2 that'd be great but provably still keep the one v because of price ranges. The s2 is going to be like 350$ minimum

Im going to guess $399

I dont trust Simple Mobile for some reason. W/E. Im moving to a GNex on TMo

The Samsung Galaxy S II 4G is Boost's version of the Epic 4G Touch and will launch on September 6 for $369.99.

Same here I dont know what about them it is. It could be because they use At&t and I have always had issues with them with dropped calls and data when i had att they kept trying to remove my unlimited data plan.

for $399 i was talking about virgin mobile if they ever get it

[curtis1973]

I read on cnet or another site,can't recall which and it may have been a guesstimate by the site..the price range was around $249

[TauSigmaNova]

Also, the SII is damned expensive :P

The reverb is $249. The s2 is $329.

Well kind of no. You can say it looks like gb because of the green battery and the icons , but i guess Samsung like it that because the galaxy s3 has it too.

Yeah, I want to see some High End speeds

I think that's a cut/paste job,can't say for sure but I doubt they had anything more to show other than a stock Samsung device with some vm screen image slapped onto it.

I'm doing the same. After this announcement I really have no faith Virgin will ever release a good phone. I'll stick with my V for a few more months and buy the GNex when the cost goes down and the new Nexus device comes out.

I am also thinking of getting the galaxy nexus and move on to t mobile since they have good coverage a good mobile plan and 4g (I know is not real lte 4g just a little faster than 3g)

I hate x3 saying this, but I'm kind of agreeing with you all. With my mod duties, and my love for the OV community, I'm conflicted...but the GNex or a Note on Straight Talk is looking pretty damn good right now. I've lost any confidence in Virgin after today.
