By the way, does anyone know if it's possible to pre-order this from Virgin Mobile?

Lol I was just about to post this. Mobile hotspot is an extra $15/month.
Unlimited 4G speeds (no throttle) while 3G will remain throttled after 2.5 gigs.

Try calling them and ask. I'm gonna wait til Cyber Monday.

Was just reading this on Engadget. My only concern is they changed the name of the phone and appear to not be advertising the glasses free 3d or 3d camera and camcorder as features. Does this mean they changed the display and camera? I hope not, I was looking forward to that. Not so much the sense 3.6 but whatever, still gonna be a better phone than the triumph.

Edit:
Just read the link provided by tgebryceee, 3d is still on board. Good to know. This phone is certainly worth more than $300. Gonna get one right away I think.

I am guessing it doesn't have sense 4.0?
They would have had that in the announcement, I would think.

It's at the very end on the first page.. sense 3.6.

Sense 3.6. I doubt the 4G will be unthrottled after 2.5 gigs, I think the editor on phonedog had info wrong. I don't even know why I bother tweeting VM, the answer to every question I ask is "We don't have an answer to that question right now".

Why did all links leave out the fact that the phone is a dual core CPU phone?

It's throttled after 2.5 gb unless you get the tethering plan as well then it's throttled after 3.5 gb... it says right on VM's site...

Me... I dont care cause I can not wait to install cm9 on it.

I found a good story with pictures of the VM model of the HTC EVO 3D (HTC EVO V 4G)

Take a look.

If people really wish to see the specs, they can view them directly on the HTC site. A lot of people are already familiar with this phone since it's not new (it's just new for VM USA). By todays cell phone standards, this is an old phone.

If its like the Venture, they let you preorder 2weeks a head, right?

Hey ways up guys im new to virgin mobile in general saw this on the news.. if i understood right its 35 dollars for 300 minutes unlimited 4g data or 2.5 gb on 3g if tjeres no (4g coverage in your area)...
My first question is why do they offer 4g unlimited while 3g fullspeed only up to 2.5 of usage...... So if i live in 4g zone I will enjoy unlimited data

 

[septembersrain]

I was told that 4G will not be throttled. Only the 3G. I was also told there will be no soft cap for the hotspot as well since it's going to have a monthly add on of $15.

They are currently offering unlimited 4G because there are not going to be very many subscribers. I believe this is a trial period to see how well they can "revamp" Virgin Mobile.
I think once they start releasing more 4G phones, We're likely to see a soft cap/throttling.
This could change, The phone hasn't been released yet after all.


Boost Mobile will be already implanting it's own soft cap of 2.5GB for it's 3G and 4G phones from what I've heard. Virgin Mobile isn't nearly as popular nor does it have as large of a customer base. That's likely why we are getting the true unlimited...For however long it lasts.

I envy you if you can wait that long. Unfortunately, me and my crappy Samsung Intercept can't. If anything, I'm overdue for a new phone.

My God if I was still using my Intercept I woulda killed myself by now lmao

The triumph is decent if you have it set up right, it's the data speeds that kill me.

I AM SOOOOOO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! . Question, will my $25 dollar plan roll over to this fone like it did the Triumph?
