Just in time for spring break, Virgin Mobile USA, LLC and Audiovox Communications Corporation introduced the Vox 8610 handset designed with the youth market on thebrain. A sleek and compact flip phone, the Vox 8610 boasts Virgin Mobile-custom graphics, a vibrant color screen and the latest in ringtone offerings: Superphonic Ringtones.
“The launch of the Vox 8610 reaffirms our commitment to offering young people handsets with style, value and features that break new ground while remaining relevant to their interests,” said Dan Schulman, CEO of Virgin Mobile USA. “We see the Vox 8610 as a strong fit with our customers’ lifestyles, as well as a terrific showcase for some of our newest, music-driven content.”
The introduction of the Vox 8610 coincides with the launch of two new Virgin Mobile music offerings, Superphonic Ringtones and Song ID. Superphonic Ringtones crank up the dial on polyphonic ringtones, delivering actual music clips from users’ favorite artists. Song ID gives Virgin Mobile users the ability to ID songs on the fly. In addition, everyone choosing the Vox 8610 will have access to all of Virgin Mobile’s VirginXtras – a host of music, entertainment and lifestyle applications – and exclusive MTV content via the *MTV wireless portal.
“We’re confident Virgin Mobile’s customers will be drawn to the Vox 8610 because of its compact size, vibrant color screen and user-friendly features,” said ACC president and CEO, Philip Christopher. “Our first Virgin Mobile phone, the Vox 8500, was a strong product with the youth market, and we expect this new handset to be an even greater success.”
The Vox 8610 follows in the footsteps of the enormously successful Vox 8500 handset, debuted by Virgin Mobile and Audiovox in spring 2003. Wireless upstart Virgin Mobile is the first U.S. wireless provider to focus exclusively on the needs and lifestyles of the youth market.
