The Virgin Mobile Flare is a simple, easy-to-use, affordable phone from Virgin Mobile.	The Samsung Slash is a decent entry-level phone with a few extra features that put it just above a basic handset.	The Virgin Mobile Shuttle is fast, sleek, and affordable, making it one of the most attractive handsets for Virgin Mobile customers.
