Cell Phones Net Speed

[Puddle Jumper]

Yeah, I might look at going Slay's route. I dunno where he gets it at $25/month. I see it saying $35/month as he was describing minutes/data.

I did hate Virgin, but that was with their pay-lo rates. $35/month looks better than Boost's $55/month for Android phones. Even with shrinkage, it looks better.

There a huge difference between 2.2 - Froyo and 2.3 - Gingerbread?

Not huge, newer is obviously better but Gingerbread wasn't as siginficant of a release as Froyo was.

On Virgin I would rank their phones in the following order: Moto Triumph > HTC Wildfire > Lg Optimus V > everything else.

Yeah, I would get the Optimus. Triumph is way over my budget at $300.

****... I just looked at Radioshack, they have the HTC for $100! ****, sale ends today, and I'm out of money, oh well. Refurbished, maybe?

I might actually get the HTC, they're selling new ones at eBay for ~$130. Dunno why I didn't check there before.

That's a pretty nice price for the Wildfire. Engadget just recommended it as their budget phone of choice in their holiday gift guide.

Course, those are bids, so you never know how high it can go. They have Buy It Now auctions for ~$175. Both auctions for new, in-package.

Edit: I've just been watching their auctions for a few hours. The bids usually sell between 120 and 150. So, yeah, still around the 130 price. A godsend for $200

Edit Edit: Looked at Engadget's review, both on the Wildfire and Wildfire S. Interesting...

Update. I see RadioShack has a sale on the HTC Wildfire S for $150. Deal good until 12/24.

Now, should I buy from them, a reputable seller, or go through eBay and get it $10-20 cheaper? With eBay, you never can be 0 sure, though. Either way, I won't be paying $200.

Update: I'll just get it at RadioShack. Went to look at it today, didn't buy, but me and my dad have to research something. He currently has Virgin, but on the pay-lo plan. If we can activate the HTC to his account, and change the phone plan to Beyond Talk, I can use that. While I can give him my Boost phone and plan.
