Virgin Mobile has now entered the 3G realm with the new Virgin Shuttle, manufactured by Personal Communication Devices. Designed to work with 3G of the EV-DO kind, the Virgin Shuttle slider manages to be both stylish and feature packed with a little Helio touch, fresh off its recent acquisition. PCD has squeezed in a 1.3 megapixel camera with video capture, Bluetooth, SD expansion, a 2-inch display, and a media player that also supports streaming media. The Buddy Beacon app from Helio has been renamed as uLocate for the Shuttle but performs the same function of tracking your friends and the “Where” application is carried over just as it is, providing localized information about restaurants and other places around you.

The Virgin Shuttle will land on September 28 at your nearest BestBuy store and will be available for just $79.99 without the frills of a contract and data plans starting at as little as $5 for 20MB to $20 for 50MB with unlimited access to VirginXL content.
