Virgin Mobile USA has officially announced its version of the LG Optimus One – Optimus V. Specs wise, we’re talking about the same device as Optimus S, which is sold by Sprint (which BTW is Virgin Mobile USA’s parent company). In that sense, expect the same 3.2-inch HVGA capacitive touchscreen, 3.2-megapixel camera, 3G and WiFi connectivity, Bluetooth, media player, microSD card slot and other “standard for Android” goodies and sensors, plus pre-installed Swype making it faster and easier to input text.
Moreover, Virgin Mobile is also offering the device with access to Virgin Mobile Live, an online music stream of performances by past and present Virgin Mobile Festival artists including studio tracks, exclusive Festival performances and more, for free!
All this could be yours for only $149.99. Plus, you may grab some service plan, which at Virgin Mobile starts at $25 and goes up to $60.
The LG Optimus V comes in an eco-friendly packaging made out of 100% recycled plastic and uses almost 50% less plastic.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
