| Virgin Mobile USA has launched the second handset with LG Electronics, named "Flare." Flare's "illuminating" external LCD-screen lights up for incoming calls and then fades to black, complementing its sophisticated black exterior accented by metallic trim. Priced at $29.99, Flare is appearing at retail locations this month, and is available for purchase on the Virgin Mobile USA Web site (VirginMobileUSA.com). Loaded with Bluetooth wireless technology and equipped with an array of features consumers love, including full texting capabilities, Flare truly shines at this affordable price. Flare is the first handset in the Virgin Mobile USA line-up, other than a few select special editions, to offer Spanish-speaking customers in-language options right at their fingertips, through a preloaded newly enhanced Spanish user interface and menu. Like other Virgin Mobile USA phones, Flare allows customers to choose ringback tones, download fun diversions from VirginXL, and check account balances. |  |
