Virgin Mobile USA just announced the availability of Samsung Slash, the carrier's very first mobile phone produced by Samsung. In line with the other handsets offered by Virgin, the new Samsung is an entry-level device, hence it comes for an affordable price: only $79.99.

The new Slash also comes with pre-loaded games (including Superscape Demo and Gameloft Jukebox) as well as with access to the VirginXL portal, where users can find a wide variety of mobile content: music, animations, ringtones or ringback tones.
