Virgin has done it again. They are offering up a better Android smartphone and keeping the same incredibly low rates.

The Virgin Mobile Broadband2Go, Ovation Mc760 adapter is great. It only cost $80.00 and the first month's service of $40.00. The $40 a month is for unlimited internet for 30 days. You could pay $10 for 100MB for ten days. It is easy to install and easy to use.

Virgin Mobile offers the best smartphone plan I've ever seen...by a long shot. If you pay the full price ($249) for a cheaper Samsung Intercept phone, you can jump on Virgin Mobile's $25/month everything pre-paid with 300 anytime minutes. The plan comes with Unlimited Messaging, Email and Web.

The Samsung Intercept is a cheaper alternative to the standard smartphone, the costs of which are generally subsidized by the carrier, which gets you in the end with a lengthy, expensive-to-break service contract.

Here was the rare show where you felt alright paying $8 for a beer and $10 for a basket of fries. After all, the tickets held by nearly all of the concertgoers at Saturday's Virgin Mobile FreeFest in Columbia, MD were, well, free, which meant tons of goodwill going into the day-long event.

Someday, they’ll build wireless Internet into every building, just the way they build in running water, heat and electricity today. Someday, we won’t have to drive around town looking for a coffee shop when we need to check our e-mail.
