I know they released the Samsung Intercept not too long ago, but it is a low-end android phone, and it uses 2.1, not the new OS. The UK virgin mobile store has multiple high-end android phones like a Galaxy Phone, the HTC Desire and a few others. Is there

Virgin Mobile $35 Monthly Plan With Samsung Intercept Android Phone Review

No Wi-Fi? No problem. You'll still get plain old cell service (via Sprint), but if your non-Wi-Fi usage gets too high, the company might give you the boot. Seriously.

That would happen only after numerous warnings and "tips for reducing your cellular footprint." But I find it interesting that Republic calls it customers "members" and its service a "community," and reserves the right to revoke your membership if you "cross the community's fair use threshold."

What constitutes crossing the threshold? Republic allots you 550 voice minutes, 150 texts, and 300MB of data. But remember, that's cellular usage; if you're connected to a Wi-Fi network, like at home or the office, there are no limitations.

The only phone Republic offers at the moment is the LG Optimus S, an entry-level Android phone, to be sure, but one of the better ones . It's compact, reasonably speedy, and powered by Android 2.3 (aka Gingerbread). To my thinking, it's a fine choice for kids, first-time smartphone owners, or anyone with fairly minimal needs. The phone costs $199, including your first month of service, and there's a 30-day money-back guarantee.
