do u know what carrie the curitel identity will be on.
And what plans do virgin have up there sleeves, anything from new phones to camera phones to Push to talk
thanx 🙂
The Slider and Vox have both sold very well, so I would guess there will be additional models coming from both Kyocera and Audiovox.
I also know that Audiovox has more camera phones available and in the pipeline than Kyocera. I also think Audiovox's camera models would be better suited to Virgin.
I'm sure Virgin will need to offer a camera phone before too long - they're extremely popular with every other carrier - I'm sure Virgin isn't oblivious to that.
The Curitel Identity is a GSM phone, so there's no way Virgin could offer it. I don't know what other carriers are considering it.
They offer SMS and WAP. They charge a dime per message sent, and a dime per "content page" on WAP. Receiving messages and navigating WAP menus is free.
A photo service would fit perfectly with their model - they could simply charge 50 cents per photo sent, for example.
I should note that AT&T goPhone also offers data services.
PS: Since Virgin uses CDMA, it's technically 1xRTT, not GPRS - same idea, though. 😉
