Virgin Mobile picks up camera-equipped Arc

Virgin Mobile today quietly posted its first phone since its buyout of Helio. The UTStarcom Arc sits slightly above the baseline for most of Virgin's budget lineup and focuses primarily on its inclusion of a VGA camera, Bluetooth, and its two-tone, rounded flip design to stand out from other offerings on the pay-as-you-go carrier.

Outside of these features, the Arc also has support for basic web access, games, polyphonic ringtones, and voice dialing. As with most Virgin USA phones, the clamshell device is contract-free and sells for $50 to customers of the prepaid service. [via Engadget]
