The Wildfire comes with GPS, HSDPA, a 5MP camera and many more features that have made HTC the best Smartphone manufacturer in the world, arguably. Virgin UK has yet to officially disclose the price of the Wildfire, but the blogosphere has it priced at 250 Euros.

Sprint Buys Virgin Mobile USA
Yesterday, Sprint announced that it had acquired Virgin Mobile USA. Virgin Mobile, a specialist in providing prepaid mobile service, was facing some financial distress recently, thus paving the way for parent company Virgin Group to offload the troubled asset to Sprint Nextel. Sprint, owner of the increasingly popular Boost Mobile, will now see its market share increase significantly, but still not within reach of Verizon and AT&T, the two largest carriers in the United States. Sprint executives explained that the purchase of Virgin Mobile is an attempt to infiltrate the prepaid market segment of the mobile industry.

Samsung and Virgin Release the Mantra
It’s always nice to have another budget phone enter the market. (Is it politically incorrect to say cheap phone?) Samsung and Virgin Mobile, arguably the cheapest manufacturer and carrier in existence, have unleashed their latest offspring called the SPH-m340 Mantra. The Mantra comes with a VGA camera, Bluetooth and is web capable. Hmmm….. $60 phone with Bluetooth, iPhone with almost useless Bluetooth. The Mantra also incorporates a speakerphone and the little used voice dialing feature. Virgin is offering the Mantra for the low the price of $60, including free shipping and activation.

The New Virgin Mobile "Cyclops" Phone
This new phone from Virgin Mobile has one of the most unique front designs I have ever seen and for that reason alone is known as “The Cyclops.”
Although this phone may be a bit different from most other phones out there as far as the design is concerned, the $100 cell that will be available tomorrow, November 2nd, 2006, has only a 1 mega pixel camera and the only thing that makes this phone worth wile is that it allows users to match certain ringtones with people in a service known as TXT Tones so that when a person texts you, that specific ring tone will play and you can set different ring tones for different friends. This service is not free and you have to pay 41.50 for each TXT Tone that you set.
