The new Arc clamshell for Virgin Mobile certainly rings in at the low price of $49.99, but does it pack enough features to warrant that price as compared to other flip phones on the market today?

When it comes to the Arc, don’t even think about advanced features such as a touch screen, GPS mapping technology or iPod-like music software.

Bluetooth technology (i.e. for wireless headsets) and a basic cell phone camera are as advanced as the Arc gets. I delve into the Arc here for the answer.
