Cricket Wireless keeps expanding its Muve Music portfolio. After Samsung Vitality and ZTE Score, they’re out with the ZTE Chorus, a low-end Android smartphone that comes with the carrier’s popular music plan.

Specs wise, ZTE’s baby sports a 3.2-inch WQVGA touchscreen, 3G data, 2-megapixel camera, 600MHz processor, Bluetooth, SRS WOW HD sound technology, 3.5mm headset jack and a microSD expansion slot (a 4GB card comes included).

The price, you ask? It’s $119.99 but Cricket is offering the phone online for just $39.99, after a $60 instant discount, and a $20 web discount. Of course, you’ll still have to sign-up for a Muve Music plan. Speaking of which, it costs $55 per month and will get you unlimited song downloads, ringtones, and ringback tones, as well as unlimited text, picture, and video messaging, 3G mobile data, mobile video, data back-up, and 411 assistance.

So what do you say? Do you want a low-cost Android device with a ton of music available at your fingertips? Sounds like a fair deal to me…
