| Bottom line | The Samsung Intercept is one of the most advanced and priciest phones for Virgin Mobile, but it's an excellent addition to the carrier's lineup. | The LG Optimus V is a great entry-level
Android smartphone if you want to go the prepaid route. | Demanding
Android fans won't like the HTC One V's slow performance but its premium design and low, no-contract price makes it a steal on Virgin Mobile. | The Samsung Intercept is a suitable
Android alternative for Sprint customers on a budget. |
