Virgin Mobile Preparing New High-End Android Smart Device

By on February 10, 2011

VMCS 2VMCS 1A Virgin Mobile customer has posted screencaps of the latest Customer Pulse survey and they have revealed Virgin Mobile’s plans to launch a new smartphone with the following specifications: a 4.1 inch WVGA resolution display, 5.0 megapixel main camera,  Android 2.2, Wi-Fi radio, Snapdragon processor and HDMI output.

Virgin Mobile is also seeking survey respondents to pick a name for the device with the following choices of “Prize” “Soar” “Triumph” “Caymus” and “Theory”.

While the survey does not confirm any other details such as manufacturer or pricing, the survey questions point to an imminent launch of the smartphone sometime this year based on the questions. Virgin Mobile’s last major handset launch was the LG Optimus V, released at the beginning of the month for $149.99.

    I think i know which phone this is. Its going to be a phone from Huawei. They have a high end smart phone with the exact same specs as this article is stating. And you know for a prepaid phone it wont be a high end samsung or htc. But the phone does look nice if you look it up on youtube Huawei U9000.

    It was extremely difficult to get the Virgin Mobile Optimus V phone towards the end of February. I searched for about an hour online and finally found one about 160 miles away and drove to purchase it. Target and Radio Shack were sold out, but of all the Best Buy stores in the state of Florida, there was only one left and I purchased and picked it up. I have a ton of Apple products, but mostly use them on wi-fi, due to the high cost of data plans here in the U.S. I’m learning the Android platform and why not, since Google is my largest revenue stream.
