There has been an increase in networks willing to add mobile phones running Google’s Android operating systems to their catalogues recently. Virgin Mobile already dipped their toe into the water in January when they launched their first Android handset the LG GW 620 InTouch Max.

The successful launch of this handset might have been the catalyst for them to announce they were going to add another three Android phones to their ranges. Whatever the reason Virgin Mobile has decided they will be bringing another three Android offerings to the UK public. The three new smartphones they will launch are the HTC Desire, Sony Ericsson’s Xperia 10 and the Samsung Galaxy Portal.

These are three very good smartphones and are bound to attract custom to Virgin especially as they say all the phones will be available at very competitive tariffs. The LG GW620 is available now on a variety of different pay monthly tariffs including one where the phone is supplied free on a deal costing £22 per month over 18 months. This deal also includes unlimited texts and unlimited internet as well as 250 free minutes of calls. This does compare well with other offers out there so we can expect the new releases to also be offered at reasonable rates.

In a statement about their decision to introduce more Android phones Virgin said,” As more and more customers are enjoying savings by bundling mobile services with their existing Virgin Media home entertainment services, we’ve been listening to feedback and are delighted to be able to offer a great range of high-end devices designed to make the most of the mobile web and entertainment on the go.”

Virgin Mobile have also introduced other top spec smartphones into their ranges in recent months including the Blackberry and the HTC HD2 . The HTC HD2 has a huge 4.3 inch touchscreen display as well as a 1 GHz processor that keeps everything working at a good pace. It also looks extremely stylish and runs on the Windows Platform and comes with the Opera browser. It is a very good smartphone and the HTC Desire due with Virgin next month should continue the trend and sell well when it reaches Virgin Mobile stores.

The announcement of the new Android additions to their ranges and the other smartphones they also now stock does appear to give Virgin Mobile far better scope in attracting customers looking for a wide range of phones
