MUMBAI, INDIA: Virgin Mobile, a provider in mobile services, announced on Tuesday that it has launched vJazz, a wine red and black color handset that carries vMusic, which enables free unlimited full-track music download.

With vJazz, Virgin Mobile users can now choose from a wide array of upto 1,00,000 Bollywood, Regional and International chart-busters and download full songs for free for one whole year, said a press release.

The phone comes packed with a 1 GB SD Card, allowing the user ample memory space to save or listen to his/her favorite music, anytime, anywhere!

This integrated music package is being made available at an affordable price of Rs 4,250/. The phone is loaded with other features like 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, the release added.

M.A. Madhusudan, chief executive officer, 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.”

He added that they have a desire to refresh music regularly. However, the music consumption is hindered by the exorbitant cost of downloading full length songs, which is about Rs. 40-45 per song.

“With vJazz, youth can now refresh music 24/ 7 by accessing and downloading free unlimited full music tracks, anytime, anywhere with just one touch access to vMusic, the music client in the phone,” added Madhusudan
