[Virgin Mobile USA makes gaming debut featuring 20 downloadable games set to take advantage of its 3G network using the Flasher V7 camera phone.]

Warren, NJ -- For its gaming debut, Virgin Mobile's platform will feature more than 20 downloadable games, ranging from sports, racing, puzzles, shooters, action, casino games and "old school," arcade-style offerings.

Virgin Mobile's array of new games takes advantage of the higher-speed and higher-bandwidth capabilities of its brand new 3G platform, launched at the end of September. Its newest handset -- the Flasher V7 camera phone -- will be the first phone in Virgin Mobile's lineup to plug into these 3G network capabilities, and, therefore, the first to offer users access to all the new games.
