The new Android phone has recently made available on Virgin Mobile as the Virgin Venture. Judging by its form factor, the Venture is an Android 2.3 smart phone that seems aimed for heavyweight texting user that also commonly called as the messaging-oriented smart phone. We can find text-friendly features such as candy bar form-factor with BlackBerry styled portrait QWERTY keyboard. The Virgin venture works on CDMA network at 1900MHz frequency and supports wireless broadband data up to 3G EVDO Rev. A. On the front, we find a 2.8-inch display with multi-touch screen, QWERTY keyboard and the 4 main buttons, each of which is the home key, menu key, back key and search key. There is a hole on the left of the Venture is the USB port to charge or pc USB connectivity.
