Virgin Mobile to release the HTC Sensation at $499.99?

By on June 28, 2011 at 4:44pm in Mobile News, Virgin Mobile News


These screenshots show the upcoming Virgin Mobile HTC Sensation and HTC Wildfire S to be priced at $499.99 and $199.99. Different price point but still solid pricing for the Android devices. One thing to note is that both of these price points are $50 cheaper that what Bell has these coming in at. The HTC Wildfire was released for $249.95 and the Sensation has a retail value of $549.95 (release date is July 5th). The launch is only a few days away but hopefully these prices come true… saving $50 is better in your pocket than theirs.

More soon!
(Thanks tipster!)

    • @ Jackson – you do realize that Bell owns Virgin Mobile Canada and that they run on both a CDMA and HSPA network right? And the version of the HTC Sensation will be the same on both Bell and Virgin, as the iPhone 4 currently is, HSPA ready, not CDMA. Google is your friend.

    • @ Jake – I think you’re confused; that’s WIND and Mobilicity’s networks you’re talking about.

  4. Give me more than 1GB of data for a decent price (like you are going to do for Quebec tomorrow) and I will switch over immediately. They can do much better than their current make-sure-not-to-undercut-Bell prices.

  6. @Jake. Sorry, it looks like the auto-correct on your phone or computer accidentally typed in “Rogers”, instead of “Wind Mobile”.

    @jackson. LOL, you have no idea what you’re talking about. Virgin (owned by Bell) uses the same 3G frequency as Rogers.

  9. I understand steps 1-4 but why not go on Bell network? Is it due to customer service? I am on Bell using Atrix. I think the network is alright at least better than my previous experience with Rogers. Overall I have no complains. I just want to understand that given a decent plan why would there be a preference in Rogers or Telus networks?

  10. @jazzyjazz. Why not go with Bell?

    My current plan with Rogers:
    300 Daytime min
    Evenings and weekends at 6
    Unlimited Rogers to Rogers and unlimited Rogers to Fido
    Unlimited Incoming calls
    1000 Canadian Long distance minutes
    Caller id, voicemail and text
    6gb of data
    Cost= $55 a month. That’s why.

  14. Unfortunately, Rogers digital home phone does not srpuopt third-party LD options such as 10-10-YAK . If you do a lot of calling to India, it would be worth changing to the Asia For You plan as your direct dialled calls to India would be only $0.10/min, and you calls within North America would be $0.06/min.
