Virgin Mobile - Is 3G reasonable or should I pay a ton more for 4G?
Yet another confirmation that I should choose Droid over iPhone or Windows phone:

But I am tempted by Virgin Mobile's offer of 1200 minutes per month plus unlimited text and internet for $40 per month INLCUDING tax. No contracts. And they offer a Droid now called Samsun Intercept. And they claim Virgin Mobile customers have access to Sprint's Nationwide Network, reaching more than 275 million people. The only catch I can see to this uber cheap rate is the fact that it's only available in 3G. Is 4G Really all that much better than 3G? How much faster is internet on 4G?
The thing I like best about Virgin is they have a plan that is unlimited web and date and 300 minutes for only $25 per month. This is so cheap that I could keep both my landline and my cell phone. And I really do prefer using a landline.

Not to mention that you have no guarantee that you would get the 4g where you are most of the time because the carrier is still building out the network.
