Virgin Mobile rolls out MARBL from Kyocera

by Chris Ziegler posted Apr 3rd 2007 at 11:18PM

See, that wasn't such a bad wait, no was it? A few weeks after we told you about the MARBL coming down the pike for Virgin Mobile from frequent partner Kyocera, the cheap flip is now available for public consumption from retailers everywhere. At $30 sans contract (remember, Virgin is a prepaid MVNO), the MARBL doesn't offer terribly much in the way of features, but it does manage to pack a speakerphone, internal antenna, and color display -- and hey, it doesn't look half bad. Just as long as you're cool with the name, Motorola, we are, too.

Personally, I did not like the marbl. It types slow and when I turn it off it does not always stay off.
