Samsung Mantra comes to Virgin Mobile

When you first click over to the Mantra’s product page, your immediate thought is “why the hell would I pay $59.99 for this?” But then, it all comes back to you — the fact that Virgin has no contracts, for example — and you realize that it makes perfect sense that the MVNO would be charging a hair under $60 to get Bluetooth, a pair of color displays, and a VGA camera. In an age where heavy subsidies have become the norm, we bet it can be a tough sell for anyone coming from the world of postpaid, but then again, there’s definitely something to be said for having the freedom to walk away after a couple months if you like. The Mantra’s available now, and if you buy, don’t bother bringing your signin’ pen — you won’t need it.
