Another optimus elite on sprint's network

[giantpune]

Apparently there's a new MVNO coming to Sprint's network that will be offering the Optimus Elite. They are selling the phone for $200, which is more that is was when it was first released a year ago. And its over 3x the price of the phone at RadioShack and BestBuy.

Aside from the phone being ridiculously overpriced, their prepaid plans look decent like you can get better rates that sprint or Virgin Mobile, aside from the fact that they dont offer unlimited data.

It looks like a good service, except for the poor phone selection and terrible pricing on phones and data. Even with the pricey data I'd probably be taking a much closer look if they allowed you to flash over other Sprint based phones, or had more reasonable prices for their own offerings.

I just don't understand their thinking; they're clearly targeting budget minded users, but the price of admission is ridiculous when you look at the same phones on other networks.
