The Virgin Mobile Shuttle, as 3G slider mobile phones go, won’t rank that high on anyone’s desperately wants list. However, as far as Virgin Mobile handsets go then the Shuttle is probable pure gold.

The guys at Engadget got hold of a Virgin Mobile Shuttle at CTIA and have given it a hands-on going over, and they came up with “it’s not going to blow any minds.”

Apparently the Shuttle is the best looking handset Virgin Mobile has to offer, and while there is 3G present it doesn’t mean much due to the Shuttle’s small screen. So basically if Virgin Mobile wants to sell the Shuttle they’ll have to be looking at pushing its looks and Buddy Beacon support.
