If anything will kill the OV, this will be it.
I meant in the near future and only in terms of Virgin still selling it.
Roms for this phone will survive for quite some time, and yes, the new one will need roms to really take off. Which is something that could be an issue for it.
I suspect the Evo 3D will be the next big thing on VM. It may be expensive, but it's a killer phone, with a good reputation and good developer support already behind it. The price will be it's only holdup. To me, it marks a major strategy shift by Sprint.
the evos would probably kill it off. The only thing im afraid of right now is the monthly prices raising when the "4g" rolls out. but i doubt that. a lot of people would leave for t-mobile for that

Evo 3d or the One V. I'm going to choose whichever is cheaper anyway. Virgin won't have to pay for the ICS update if it's already there, right? But I doubt they'll pay for the Evo's update, since they haven't payed for the OV, the Slider, or any other phone on Froyo for that matter. Does virgin have a single GB phone yet? And I obviously mean stock.
You can bet not many people will. If your looking for 4G T-mo will beat VM until they get LTE. Sprints current 4G/wimax is subpar to T-Mo.
LeslieAnn mentioned the one thing that will be the deciding factor. Rom support. I can speak from experience that unless a device has good roms not many people will buy it. I regret every day for buying a SGS4G the xda community is atrocious and arrogant and that is pretty much the only android forum for it. All others are fragmented versions of xda.
Don't count on T-Mobile being a deterent.
The minutes vs. Data ratio is terrible. 100 minutes? Really?
Yeah, they have another option, but exceed your data quota and they chop you WAAAY down on speed. Also coverage is different than Sprint, I won't say better or worse, just different, and won't work for everyone.
If you use your phone like most people VM is still hard to beat even at $35.
Want proof? VM grew 2.5%(?) last quarter, despite raising rates. Losses were relatively minor, meaning people aren't leaving due to the price increase like we think. Most VM users are not us.
