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.
