Cricket just got another low-end Android into their roster. Called the Samsung Vitality, the main selling point here isn't the phone itself -- it's the fact it comes with Muve Music, Cricket's "all you can eat" music service.
Previously with the Samsung Suede feature phone, the service is open again to customers who fork over for the new candybar smartphone. According to Cricket, the Muve Music service will be in full force this last quarter, coming to a few more releases before the year is through.
Details of the Samsung Vitality include a 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display (480 x 320 resolution), a 3.5 megapixel camera module, WiFi, 3G with HSPA, Bluetooth, microSD card expansion (up to 32GB) and a 1600 mAh battery module (up to 6.5 hours of talk time). Don't expect much in terms of raw power, though, since muscle is provided by a measly 800MHz processor.
Phone dimensions are 4.6 x 2.4 x 0.06 inches, with a weight of 4.16 ounces. It runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread, along with the usual Android mobile software and a selection of preloaded apps.
Monthly plans for the Samsung Vitality with Muve Music is $65 per month (unlimited data, voice and music), with the phone costing another $199 (there's no lock-in contract, though).
