Virgin Mobile has announced its "vTrendy" phone, a sleek, color-screen FM Radio-enabled phone claimed to be one of a kind in bundling a unique offer at such an affordable price. At around 65gms, the "vTrendy" appears sleek and comes with a 65K color screen, speaker phone, organizer, FM radio, stereo headset, up to 500 contacts phone-book memory, up to 150 additional contacts on RUIM or SIM card, and Long Messaging Service (LMS). As a value-add, the phone offers access to Virgin Mobile's VAS data portal aka 'Vbytes' wherein users can get unlimited to Virgin Mobile select content and other applications for just Rs 5 per day.

Announcing the launch of the "vTrendy", P Madhavan, chief sales and distribution officer of Virgin Mobile, said, "Youth today are faced with a situation where they have no stylish CDMA handsets in the price range below Rs 1,500. Even a GSM service provider's handset bundled offer does not really appeal to them because of lack of attractive handsets. vTrendy is a no compromise deal for youth since it combines a stylish handset to suit their budget, is loaded with features such as FM Radio, 65K color, and Long Messaging Service (LMS), and is bundled with an offer tailored just for them." The "vTrendy" is attractively priced at Rs 1,499. With every "vTrendy" users will also get a starter user kit and a lifetime validity recharge. The handset is now available across 15,000 outlets nationally and 1,000 modern retail outlets including The Mobile Store, Univercell, Croma, Convergem, Big C, Vishal Mega Mart, Vijay Sales, and Sangeetha, among others. Virgin Mobile will also make the handset available across 34 kiosks at malls across the country.
