Virgin Mobile USA to Sell the iPhone June 29
Ful retail price should be fine. We need to think of the wireless industry differently. This is the way the industry is going to move eventually. Why should we get our devices through the wireless service provider?
Just like Road Runner or Cable f...

This will be interesting
This will be very interesting cause I know several people that have said I really don't mind paying $500 to $600 for the device itself it's just the monthly fee that they don't want to pay especially when you have to pay it every single month since its a contract and you don't have the option to not pay it. I think people will actually buy it, it's not for everyone, but I've seen a lot of people saying who the hell is gonna pay $500 - $600 for a device like that, but don't forget that the original iPhone wasn't subsidized by AT&T when it came out in 2007, it was $500 to $600 and people lined up to buy it, they sold 3 million of them. Also don't forget that the iPad isn't subsidized by any contract and Apple doesn't have any problem selling t...

Probably not. Needs to be an actual Virgin iPhone. Just like Virgin phones cannot be used on Sprint's post-paid accounts.

Sprint vs AT&T; Prepaid versus contract
A few questions.
I have a contract 3gs through AT&T right now, overpaying and tired of them. Roughly $90/mo for minimal minutes and moderate to robust internet usage (grandfathered on unlimited data plan, who knows for how long) after taxes. I've been out of contract for a year + now, was thinking of upgrading as of late.
Does the price above include taxes and fees? I've never done prepaid before, but it's looking more and more intelligent to do so especially if that price is inclusive. Taxes are killer on phones...
Since it's CDMA, I'm assuming my ability to surf and talk will cease to be. Am I correct?

Virgin Mobile still charges taxes and fees so their $60 all you can eat plan is about $65 so not too bad...yes only on LTE VZN can you talk and surf, so with 3G CDMA you cannot talk/surf at same time, but if you are willing to shell out that kind of c...
