some people would probably jump ship just for the ics and the triumph is still technically on 2.2.

True, but the One V will still have Sense over the ICS. Also, you can easily install a custom ROM on the Triumph.

To me, this is totally worth it for an EVO 3D. If the rumors are untrue, I will move to another network.

I do have a few questions about Straight Talk/T-Mobile though. Are these services 3G? I know along time ago, they were not 3G or only 3G up to xxMB of data. Is anyone familiar with these plans?

Not sure about Straight Talk, but T-mo is 3g (well advanced 3g or as they call it 4g). depending on the plan you get you can get up to 5gb of 4g a month then if you go over that limit you are brought down to 2g speeds.

Well T-mo isn't happening then. They dont have pseudo 4g in my area so Im not dealing with EDGE again. :mad:

"Starting 5/27/12, new smartphones will be subject to current plan rates. This will apply if you switch phones. Go to http://msg4u.us/src for info."

So..does this mean there will definitely be new smartphones coming to VM around May/June? Looks to me like there is.

Merged the threads, let's try to keep it all in one place. Thanks!

T-Mobile still has 3G. and I did a speed test with my friend. His EDGE was better than my virgin mobile 3G anyway. Just saying.

I have no problem with it, now that I have a tablet too, my smart phone is more of just a phone now or a relay station for data. ill keep it as long as I can for $25 a month unlimited.

I just got a text from Virgin informing me that all new phones are subject to 'current rates' (not my $25 plan). This leads me to believe that they're about to release a bunch of new phones.

I say BS! Doesn't matter, though. That unlocked gsm Google Galaxy Nexus is looking better and better every day. That with the T-Mobile $30 plan is my next stop when I choose to move on.

What say you all? Is $399 for the Galaxy Nexus unlocked with T-Mo $30/month a good deal?

It's a good deal but don't forget to check if you get data coverage where you live

I like the idea, but right now I have my eyes on the Samsung Galaxy S3.

OT: just got the text earlier today.

You ain't getting that for $399.

I read the Google Play store is selling them for $399. It was either phonedog or technobuffalo (or both).

I believe he was talking about not getting the SGS3 for $400

What I meant is that as much I like the get the Galaxy Nexus, the S3 is being announced at the Samsung Unpacked Event on May 3rd. I could get the Galaxy Nexus at 399.99 but its too soon as I wanna carry my triumph as much as I could at 25 a month but these 3G speeds does not satisfy my needs per se (I need 4G for an earn-n-reward site). But until the SGS3 becomes availible for purchase, I'll have to settle what I have. I may get the Galaxy Nexus if I cant take it, that phone is sexy ;-)

Lol the SGS3 for 400 is a steal but I doubt it, hopefully Ill be around 600. The SGS3 comes around later this year I presume, so thats a long time. At this moment I wanna get a new phone but since I don't wanna buy a phone on retail. Ill get a Galaxy Nexus until the SGS3 is around 400 (9 months after release I presume)

I'm waiting on my unlocked HTC Amaze 4G. Then I'm going to Straight Talk for the $45 unlimited everything.
Welcome To Straight Talk

Virgin Mobile USA is just screwing themselves in the long run.

Im think about switching to Sim ST too.. I can get most any unlock phone for it. and $45 unlimited everything is a great deal. but can't really trust any phone companies, they could raise their prices plans anytime. eitherway, we just have to pay a little more a littleless somehow. with simcards are better I think.
