There certainly is a market for entry level Android smartphones. LG has one in the Optimus One, and that device is selling like mad — and it will soon be heading to Virgin Mobile.The above-pictured device is the Samsung Gem, and it will head to regional CDMA carriers sometime in the near future. The device features a 3.2 inch touchscreen, 800MHz processor, 3.2 megapixel camera, and microSD expansion up to 16GB. Unfortunately, it will come with Android 2.1. Given how we’ve seen Android updates progress, I doubt this one ever gets 2.2 or higher. We’re not sure when, where, or for how much this device will launch, but it should be soon, regional carriers, and cheap.

i called virginmobile they told me it will start selling the optimus android on february 1st for around 135.00
rumor2 cellphonnes suck i have gone thru 30 in 2010 they all breal virginmobile is so bad they have the worst service out there. I keep my service working for 2 weeks and it quits working the tech support on virgin is terrible.Bad communication it took me 3 trys to get the return envelope and they never sent me the handbook for the rumor2 phone they told me to download on a computer.
I agree with Brent Devenney, I have the same experiments with It. There is nothing wrong with the phone, sell 3 of them in the week and never have complains about it.
