Virgin Mobile, a relatively recent acquisition of Bell Mobility, has finally hooked into the new HSPA network that had been rolled out by its big brother, and is offering a range of high end devices to take advantage. As rumoured, various iPhones and the BlackBerry Bold 9700 are now a part of the Virgin Mobile Canada family, and are all ripe for the picking from the online store. The BlackBerry Curve 8530 was also launched, which will use Virgin’s pre-existing CDMA network, and good thing – the GSM equivalent, the 8520, lacked both 3G and GPS. A few mobile broadband products, like an HSPA+ capable Novatel internet stick and Wi-Fi-sharing MiFi are also available, if you’re into that kind of thing. And hey, two-year contracts on all of ‘em, which is something you won’t see a lot of anywhere else in Canada. In any case, Virgin Mobile stands to enjoy a much wider selection of devices now that they’re rocking HSPA, and we’re looking forward to seeing what comes next.
