Cricket added a new clamshell to its portfolio – Samsung Chrono aka SCH-r261. The device which won’t impress many with its specs sheet comes with a VGA camera, two screens, large keys, Bluetooth and 55MB of internal memory. It is available in “tanned silver” for $59.99 in Cricket branded retail stores, select dealers and on mycricket.com.
The carrier suggests its all-inclusive unlimited plans with the Chrono purchase, ranging from the basic $35 unlimited talk and text to the robust $45 plan which provides users with unlimited talk, text, 411 information, navigation, international text, unlimited picture messages, unlimited web browsing and more. In addition, the $45 rate plan also features convenient access to select services like MyHomeScreen, MyBackup, and Cricket Navigator.
And that’s about it. Plus we have the words of Cricket’s vice-president and general manager of devices Matt Stoiber – he said: “We’re excited to bring the Samsung brand to our value-priced clam shell, feature-phone category. The Samsung Chrono’s large display, keyboard and simple to use interface make it really easy to use and a perfect fit for anyone.”
