Online, April 21, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Designed for individuals looking for a durable prepaid flip phone, the Samsung Mantra from Virgin Mobile is a great phone with a lot of features. The Samsung Mantra is lightweight yet durable and sturdy, small enough to fit into your pocket. On the outside of the phone is a small display, about an inch diagonal, that shows the date, time, battery life, signal strength, caller id and the camera viewfinder. There's a volume rocker, a camera button and a combined headset/charger port. Inside is a 2 inch diagonal screen that supports 65,000 colors and has 160x128 pixel resolution. The keypad is large and easy to use without misdialing with a bright backlight.
The Samsung Mantra also offers:
• Bluetooth
• Text and multimedia messaging
• Instant messaging
• Voice memo recorder
• Voice command and dialing
• Email capabilities through POP3 email accounts
• Web browsing
• Tip calculator
• Speakerphone
• WAP 2.0 web browser
Personalize the Mantra with customizable wallpaper, screensaver, alert tones and banners. The VGA camera is great for snapshots and users can save photos to the phone, upload them to an online album or share them with friends. Connect with friends through Facebook, MySpace, Flickr and YouTube and get alerts, updates and photos sent directly to your phone. Because this is a fairly basic phone that will mostly be used for calls, the call quality is very important. Calls came through great and individuals on the other end said they understood the callers easily. The speakerphone quality is also great. The 960mAh battery has a battery life is 5.5 hours of talk time and 12.5 days of standby time.
We recommend every cell phone owner have some kind of protection for their phone. A leather case is a classy solution. The Naztech Ultima case is a great accessory. Its sharp modern design is accentuated by hand stitching and an abrasion-proof mesh front frame. For convenience, the magnetic flip cover can be opened or closed with minimal effort. Plus the 360 degree heavy-duty belt clip ensures a lifetime of use. Durable and classy the Ultima perfectly complements your on-the-go lifestyle.
We also recommend users have a charger and a microUSB charging pack is one of the best options. Never have to carry 2 separate Samsung Mantra chargers again! 1 cable works with both the vehicle power adapter and wall charger. The included data cable charges your Samsung Mantra phone and allows you to transfer data from your Samsung Mantra phone to your computer or vice versa [software not included - use 3rd party or OEM]. Combine the cable with the charger heads [VPA and Travel Charger] to fully charge your Samsung Mantra handset at home, business or in your car. The compact design adds to the portability of this product, making it easy to travel without the hassle of multiple cords.
