As usual, Virgin phones are not exactly positioned at the high-end of the spectrum — rather they are cheap enough and are considered perfect (yeah it’s questionable) for the first-time phone buyers.

To be fair, this is the carrier’s first device with with a Spanish-language interface and as such is significant enough.
As for the specs, there’s Bluetooth, speakerphone, voice dialing, mobile web browser, dual screens, and a battery that promises to deliver up to 3.5 hours of talk and 170 hours (~7 days) for standby time… More information is available on Virgin Mobile USA’s website.
