Long-term contracts are not everyone's
cup of tea and for those of you wishing for more simplicity in an
affordable package, Boost Mobile, one of Sprint's pre-paid brands,
has launched the
Samsung Factor. The basic flip phone comes
with a camera, access to the web, chat and email along with the usual
voice service all for
$49.99. Additional details were scarce –
even the resolution of the camera wasn't announced, but for such a basic package we wouldn't expect much.
The Samsung Factor will be available on
BoostMobile's website as well as at select retailers later today. Wider
availability will follow in April.
