MUMBAI, INDIA: Virgin Mobile launched vJazz, its music phone.

The phone comes packed with a 1 GB SD card and is available in wine red and black colours at Rs 4,250. It also features vMusic, with which users can choose from a wide array of upto 1,00,000 bollywood, regional and international chartbusters and download full songs for free for one whole year. The subscribers can continue downloading music tracks even after the subscription expires.

The phone also features such as music player, music keys, FM radio, video playback, 1.3 MP camera, 1000 SMS and 1000 phonebook storage space, loud speakers, bluetooth and a large screen. 

M A Madhusudan, CEO, Virgin Mobile India, said, "Music is at the core of youth culture – bollywood, Jazz, hip-hop, rock, alternative – you name it, they know it! Our studies indicate that the existing phones in the market allow youth to carry a small collection of songs. They have a desire to refresh music regularly. However, their music consumption is hindered by the exorbitant cost of downloading full length songs, which is about Rs. 40-45 per song." 

vJazz becomes the seventh handset from Virgin Mobile coming at a range of Rs. 1,499 and Rs. 4,250. Besides vKewl and vTrendy, Virgin Mobile has also introduced vDesire, vBond, vRage and vGlide.
