Looks like Virgin Mobile won’t be the only carrier in the U.S. to offer the Samsung Montage with Sprint (Virgin’s parent company) also preparing to add it to its portfolio. And while we don’t know when that will happen exactly, we did notice the device getting a dedicated page and new name (Samsung Array) at Samsung’s website.
If you recall, we’re talking about a feature phone that packs both a numerical keypad and side-sliding QWERTY keyboard, making it ideal for heavy texters on a budget. Additionally, the Montage/Array also has a 2-megapixel camera, QVGA screen, Bluetooth, while Qualcomm’s 480MHz QSC6155 CPU is running the show.
We’ll let you know when Sprint officially announces the phone; in the meantime — starting from August 20 — you will be able to get it from Virgin Mobile for $49.99.

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.
