~ No thanks,

I'm all for the Eco part. That's great, more phones should be made this way.

A bit anticlimactic after reading about the One V and 3D... Won't be moving me from the OV that's for sure.

Rhyming phones..

Oh wow, yet ANOTHER 3.5" screen

This is actually a step up from the rest of Virgin's 3.2'' inch handsets.

Marginal at best though.

It's a safe bet that a few people will give it a try knowing how solid the OV was.

[JazzJackRabbit]

AFAIK it is still hvga resolution, therefore not worth upgrading from OV.

what is VM/Sprint thinking?? seriously..are they trying to sway people away from VM? That Venture phone came out weeks ago, and will probably be discontinued in a few months, because apparently everybody has already forgotten about it. Now this?

I mean I'm fairly happy with my Triumph, so I have no complaints, but from a business perspective, VM really NEEDS a phone like the rumored Evo, soon, because cheap-plan or not, many people are going to migrate to another provider if they keep releasing junk.

I completely agree. Seems all the decent Androids go to Boost.

Did I read it right? 50GB of memory out of the box? That would be a pretty good step up from the V, Slider, and the intercept.

That's DropBox cloud storage, not internal memory.

The Samsung epic 2 will arrive on Boost if they do bring it to Sprint prepaid. The One V is for VM, the EVO 3D... ???

Ah I see. Still doesn't help app storage thought, right?

Steve Jobs said 3.5" is perfect. Quell thine dissent, infidel.

I can count all the good Android phones on Boost with one finger. Marquee. Maybe the Transform. And it's expensive and has less of a dev community than the Triumph used to.
* The Replenish was considered bad back when Sprint sold it. They told me so
* The Prevail was a more expensive copycat of the Optimus.
* The Warp proved you can't just throw big specs into a phone case and make something good.
* Heck, even the Transform Ultra was pretty pricey for a slightly larger screen than an Optimus Slider, and I've seen the Slider at $130-150.
