Samsung Galaxy S II makes untimely trip to Virgin mobile

Maybe this would have been exciting news for Virgin mobile customers a year ago, but the word on Thursday that the pre-paid carrier was going to add the Samsung Galaxy S II to its lineup was met by yawns except for one far-sighted Virgin mobile customer who thought the story was about the Samsung Galaxy S III. With Sprint no longer offering WiMAX to focus on LTE, it has been unloading former WiMAX models like the HTC EVO 3D and the Samsung Galaxy S II to Virgin mobile.

The price for the Samsung Galaxy S II will be $369.99 without a contract, and outside of the Virgin logo on the back, the phone should look exactly like the Samsung Epic 4G Touch, which was the name Sprint gave to its version of the Galaxy S II. The phone will be available starting November 15th, in silver or white.
