HTC One V now available from Virgin Mobile

Rounding out the US launch of the HTC One lineup, the retro-inspired HTC One V has launched over at Virgin Mobile. The Ice Cream Sandwich device shares its Sense 4.0 software with big brothers the HTC One X and HTC One S, but other specs place the phone in a lower tier. It features a 1GHz Snapdragon S3 processor, 3.7-inch display, and 5MP camera. What stands out about the One V, though, is its design that harkens back to older HTC handsets, including the protruding “chin” of models like the Hero and G1.
The HTC One V is available contract-free from Virgin Mobile today for the affordable price of $199.99. Other than it’s low cost, the name makes it a perfect fit.

Prepaid iPhones Headed to Boost Mobile in September?

Following yesterday’s announcement that U.S. carrier Cricket would begin offering prepaid iPhones, Boost Mobile may be the next in line. According to a source speaking to TechnoBuffalo, Boost Mobile will begin offering the iPhone with its own pre-paid plans starting in early September.

Considering that Apple has confirmed that Cricket will indeed begin offering the iPhone, it would make sense for Boost to begin offering the device as well. If true, this suggests the first significant effort for Apple to reach out to pre-paid mobile customers in the U.S.
