Samsung Mantra Prepaid Phone
Posted December 29th, 2009 by simon
This is a slim, flip open phone from Samsung which you can pick up on a pay as you go deal with Virgin for just $59.99. You can then pick the tariff that suits you or avoid a contract altogether. The phone supports SMS, MMS, email and instant messaging. There is a 2 inch internal display with a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels and a 0.76 inch external display to display the time and incoming call info.
There’s a VGA camera for photos with a digital zoom function. You can use the phone to browse the web. It also has Bluetooth support for hands free sets and a speakerphone function. You’ll get 5.5 hours of talk time from a single charge. The most interesting feature is the Buddy Beacon which lets you broadcast your location to friends and family. This is hardly a cutting edge phone but if you want a decent middle of the road option and don’t want to spend much money it fits the bill.
