LG Optimus Slider And HTC Wildfire S Coming To Virgin Mobile In October

Posted by in LG, News, Virgin Mobile, Wildfire S / Wildfire 2 (Marvel)

So there you are, at the end of the two-year agreement with your current carrier. You're at fork in the road. On one hand, you could drop a couple hundred bucks for a new phone, sign a new agreement, and start the cycle all over again. On the other, you could spend a couple hundred bucks with Virgin Mobile, nix the contract, and be a free man (or woman, whatevs). So what do you do?

We don't know the answer to that, but here's what we do know: Sprint just announced two new low-end phones for Virgin Mobile with equally low-end pricetags.

[Updated: Flyer Pricing Correction] US Cellular Announces a Triad Of New HTC Devices Set To Arrive Next Month: Hero S, Wildfire S, and Flyer

Posted by in Flyer, Hero S, News, US Cellular, Wildfire S / Wildfire 2 (Marvel)

When US Cellular decides to make an announcement, it plays no games. Single device announcements? Puh-leez, that's for kids. Three devices at once? Now that's pro.

That's exactly what the regional carrier just did, too: name dropped three new HTC devices set to land on its network next month. The Wildfire S, Hero S, and Flyer tablet, to be exact. Want the deetz? Keep reading.

Hero S

The long rumored HTC Kingdom is finally official as the Hero S, packing some nice specs under the hood:

  • 4-inch qHD Super LCD display
  • 1.2GHz single-core Snapdragon processor
  • 768MB RAM
  • Android 2.3.x with Sense

Sure, it's no powerhouse, but a 4-inch SLCD at qHD res?

T-Mobile Announces The HTC Wildfire S, Coming August 3rd For $80 After MIR

Posted by in News, T-Mobile, Wildfire S / Wildfire 2 (Marvel)

T-Mobile announced its newest midrange handset today: the HTC Wildfire S. The Wildfire S is a great middle-of-the-road phone for anyone on a budget, with somewhat modest specs:

  • 3.2 inch 320x480 display
  • 800MHz single-core processor
  • 512MB RAM
  • SD Card slot
  • 5MP rear shooter
  • Android 2.3 with HTC Sense

It may not be the hottest phone on the planet, but at least it has a decent amount of RAM for multitasking, and Android 2.3 runs great on slower hardware (I'm trying to be optimistic here).

As far as color choices are concerned, T-Mo retail stores will have an all white version available, while Wal-Mart, Sam's Club, and T-Mo's online shop get exclusive rights to the black iteration.
