Virgin Mobile USA’s recent Helio acquisition announcement hasn’t stopped the pre-paid wireless giant from pushing out new handset offerings for its pre-pay customer-base. The latest handset to bring its low- to mid-range feature set to Virgin Mobile’s network is the UTStarcom Arc. Clad in a Black-and-Red finish, the Virgin Mobile Arc offers Bluetooth, VGA camera, speakerphone, and external and internal displays for $49.99.
It’s not going to be enough for many wireless users, but for those looking for value and style in a pre-paid handset, the Virgin Mobile Arc should get the job done just fine.
