Virgin Mobile planning to add a little touch to its lineup

Virgin Mobile's CEO, Dan Schulman, stated while at the Dow Jones Wireless Innovations Conference last week that Virgin's planning on adding some more touchscreen to its world. What sets is, of course, your and our first question, but sadly it's one we don't have an answer for, yet. Though whatever it or they end up being, he went on to say that it is part of a move to smarter phones targeted at low to middle-income youth on prepaid. Of course, Virgin's core business is the prepaid world, though contracts are always available if you're inspired to stick about. With CTIA just around the corner, we're thinking we could hear a little more then.

one of my friends has a Virgin Mobile phone. he has a lot of financial responsibility at home so he that's really all he can afford right now. but i gotta say, that phone sucks compared to me and my other friends Treo's. hopefully Virgin can upgrade their line up and he can get a more smartphone like phone at around the same price.

I like my shuttle, It is a very feature-ful phone, and the interface is a lot better than most you see on other phones.

For $100 on contract, it was a really good deal.


For a touchscreen phone, if they make a blowout like they did when they made their first 3G phone, It will be worth it.

Good thing too, lots of people rely on prepay.
