  • The Virgin Mobile iPhone 4 offers all the usual iPhone features, plus mobile hot spot, without a contract
  • Virgin's iPhone 4 data speeds are slower than AT&T's and Verizon's, and it lacks both world roaming and the ability to access voice and data simultaneously
  • At a hefty cost, the Virgin Mobile iPhone 4 delivers an unlimited plan without a contract -- just don't expect blazing-fast data speeds.
