It’s always nice to have another budget phone enter the market. (Is it politically incorrect to say cheap phone?) Samsung and Virgin Mobile, arguably the cheapest manufacturer and carrier in existence, have unleashed their latest offspring called the SPH-m340 Mantra. The Mantra comes with a VGA camera, Bluetooth and is web capable. Hmmm….. $60 phone with Bluetooth, iPhone with almost useless Bluetooth. The Mantra also incorporates a speakerphone and the little used voice dialing feature. Virgin is offering the Mantra for the low the price of $60, including free shipping and activation. While tech weenies will probably scorn the notion of purchasing the Mantra, they cannot deny the fact that budget phones are almost always better bang for your buck devices than high end, over priced smartphones. Sure they are not as exciting and do not include dozens of usually useless bells and whistles, but they get the job done.
