Samsung's AWS-compatible JetSet launches on Cricket

by Darren Murph Oct 13th 2008 @ 9:51PM

Remember that SCH-R550 that appeared in the FCC's lair back in June? It's okay, we know you don't, but Cricket is looking to jar your memory by introducing it as the Samsung JetSet. The AWS-compatible handset packs a 2-megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth capabilities, built-in multimedia player, a microSD card slot and little else (but we suppose that's the point). This feather-weight morsel of a clamshell can be picked up now for $199.99.

Are they crazy or what? For that same price, you can get an 8GB iPhone!
This phone is just a basic flip phone.

You don't have to sign any contract to get Cricket service, and their unlimited plan start at $25 per month. So no they are not crazy.
