The Bottom Line	If you want an attractive yet affordable basic camera phone, the Virgin Mobile Arc is one of the better options in Virgin Mobile's lineup.	The Samsung Mantra offers a user-friendly phone with functional features, though its overall performance could be better.	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.
