Roughly two weeks ago we reported Virgin Mobile USA will be adding the first Samsung-made handset to its portfolio. And now… the Slash is here!
As with all Virgin Mobile phones, don’t expect the high end features. $79.99 buys you sleek and compact slider with VGA camera, Bluetooth, decent battery, and full messaging software pre-installed. In addition, the phone comes with few preloaded games, teasing you to order more mobile content (games, wallpapers, ringtones) through VirginXL portal. And that’s pretty much it!
At the moment the Slash is available at retailers only, and will be hitting Virgin Mobile USA’s website soon.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
