I bought my One V for exactly $149.99, no tax, and free two day shipping at Amazon.com. They also had the Optimus Elite for $99.99, no tax, and free two day shipping. For under $200 bucks these are the only two phones I would recommend from Virgin Mobile.
They still have the 20% off the One V and Evo V which is not as good as Amazon's deal but still reasonable. I would not recommend the new Galaxy Reverb as the $249.99 plus tax seems too much considering the Evo only costs $239.99 plus tax until September 10. Besides that, VM has the habit of chopping the prices of their new phones after only two to three months of release, and we really don't know how the Reverb will perform.
With the 20% off, the One V seems like the sweet spot in VM's lineup with good specs and premium design, and the Optimus Elite will work just as well if you don't mind the lower resolution display. The Elite has a plastic build that's not really premium in design, but it does have Corning's Gorilla Glass.
Anyway, shop Amazon, RadioShack, and BestBuy to see if you can find a better deal than what VM is currently offering.
