Back to School!

Its time to go back to school folks! All of Virgin Mobile’s major retailers – Radioshack, BestBuy, Walmart, Amazon, and Virgin Mobile Online have amazing deals on many of the top Virgin Mobile No Contract phones right now in honor of “Back to School”.

Now is a good time to buy.

I do not expect to see deals like these until late November (Black Friday) or around Christmas.

The Roundup!

The way I’m going to do this roundup is to list the phone and then list the top two best prices from the major retailers.

LG Optimus V Official Update – Know The Facts

Posted by Dana Rock on Apr 8, 2012 in Hardware, LG Optimus V, News, Tethering, Troubleshooting | 0 comments

Virgin Mobile released an “upgrade” last month for the LG Optimus V. I originally thought that it would be an upgrade to Android 2.3, but this is not the case.

There have been some spotty reports that a few phones have been upgraded officially to Android 2.3, but this update is not it.

This article is not nearly as comprehensive as I would like it to be, as I have honestly just not had the time to go through the whole process on one of my spare phones as of yet.

However, I assume that upgrading the phone patches  items like the ability for the first generation of LG Optimus V phones to be used as a hotspot among other things.

Since Virgin Mobile is pretty “vague” about the whole thing, I usually assume in these cases that the patches serve the service (Virgin Mobile) more than the consumer.

I’ve collected a few links for you to continue to do some research into the update for the LG Optimus V – If any of you hear anything about updating  to Android 2.3, let me know.
