This week my local best buy, just north of Los Angeles in Thousand Oaks, CA has the Samsung Vitality on sale for 79.99 plus comes with a free wireless speaker (looks pretty nice) and even comes with 45 or 55 dollars credit for a plan.

Looks like Cricket is starting to make an expansion push into more of Southern California finally.

Which is good, since I think Cricket phones are better then Metro PCS phones and coverage in my opinion is better.

But no stores in my area and not accepting requests to open stores in my area. But my area now has full talk text web and broadband data coverage.

Might be my excuse to start trying to pimp out locals with cricket and be an unofficial dealer. hahaha.
