Looks like Virgo the Virgin Mobile River (which is now owned by Sprint (New York Stock Exchange: S)) is aggressively pursuing the texting gang as it is rumored to be launching some cheap plans that include unlimited texts, e-mails and information.

The lowest package volition reportedly price $25 per calendar month for the unlimited whatsis above and 300 proceedings of talk time. You can also pay $40 for 1,200 proceedings and unlimited messaging and information, or just plop down $60 a month for unlimited everything. If you’re a text-happy person (Virgo the Virgin Mobile’s staff of life and butter) you can probably get away with the lowest-tier plan without a trouble.

Who cares about the plans if the phones suck though, right? Well, Phone Arena said the prepaid carrier volition soon be offering the Kyocera (New York Stock Exchange: KYO) Loft for $70, the LG Rumor Touch for $150 and the BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) Curve 8530 for $300. Remember, those prices mean value you’ll be able to own the earpiece outright but the CDMA nature of the networks mean you won’t be able to payoff that phone to other carriers easily. You definitely can’t manipulation these on AT&T (NYSE: T) or T-Mobile River, and I’d be very surprised if Verizon (NYSE: VZ) would be cool and let you activate these devices on its network.

It looks like Samsung will be devising a big pushing with Android, as the company said more than 50% of its smartphone volition rock that little K automaton.

This is a great sign for Android because Samsung has enormous reach as the second-biggest French telephone manufacturer in the world. Getting cozy with Android could also lead Samsung to potentially integrate it into other products in the future tense, maybe TVs.

So, what kind of handsets can we looking forward to? Well, I think it’s safe to say that the Moment was just a clunky first attempt. We had a chance to play with the Galaxy S at CTIA and this baby is a beaut. Right away, the super AMOLED blind pops out because it’s so crisp and vibrant. It also rocks a 1Ghz processor, Android 2.1 OS, 5-megapixel shooter and all the connected goodness you expect from a gimmick of this class. Check out the embedded video recording below for a finisher look.

As for the company’s dwelling-grown operating organization, bada, Samsung plans to use this for 1-third of its smartphones. This appliance-tastic OS is already on the Wave and, piece I really don’t like having so many chopine, it seems pretty solid. During our hands-on time, we were pretty impressed with how smooth and responsive it was. I don’t know how many developers it volition attract but it appears Samsung will aim bada devices at the low remainder of the market.

So, my computer-like brain tells me there’s a little bit of leftovers in Samsung’s mathematics. We know its going to make at least 1 Windows Phone 7 French telephone and we whitethorn see a Symbian device, too. I think it’s a solidness strategy to put option most of you resources stern a one chopine but distillery support others in order to covering fire your bases. Samsung also has a long ton of resources, so net ball’s promise it tin execute.

Of course of action, we probably would have had the same initial response as everyone else on the associated forums if we heard citizenry spouting off that they had received the Incredible nine years early. Screaming in loud letters, “Lies!” single drug user decided that they would be nice enough to post a video recording of the unboxing, and powering on of their new Droid Incredible.

Interesting, though, is the fact that the box still reads “HTC Incredible,” contempt the fact we know the device as organism officially called the Droid Incredible. Color us confused. Though, the “Droid” summation to the Incredible probably was a quick add-on before the official announcement, so we won’t hold it against Verizon. In any event, we’re hoping these lucky early owners ar enjoying their handsets!
