Samsung Intercept: Virgin Mobile's Android first
Virgin Mobile will pick up the Samsung Intercept, the first Android phone to make its lineup.
This puppy will be a prepaid option for Virgin Mobile subscribers.
(Credit: Virgin Mobile USA)It wasn't long ago we saw the Samsung Intercept hop into Sprint's lineup, and now it's set to do it again with Virgin Mobile. While an entry-level Android device, the smartphone will make a more notable splash as a prepaid handset with Virgin Mobile for the simple reason that the Intercept is the carrier's first Android phone.
We found the Samsung Intercept for Sprint to be a decent
Android entrant, running 2.1, which is pleasing to the eye and hand. It has a 3.2-inch WQVGA display, and measures 4.43 inches long by 2.19 inches wide by 0.59 inch thick.
The Intercept also features Bluetooth, a 3.2 megapixel camera, and a microSD card slot for expandable memory.
We haven't heard anything yet about pricing, availability, or the other goodies inside, but we expect it to hew closely to the Sprint version.
