Cricket targets Target with Muve Music phones

Samsung Vitality

What’s that sound you hear? It’s the tune of Cricket Wireless selling smartphones with all-you-can download music plans from yet another retail giant.

Starting today, nearly 1,600 Target stores will carry the Samsung Vitality and ZTE Score on Cricket’s network. Both
Android smartphones feature Muve Music, the unlimited music and ringtone download plan that Cricket pioneered in January 2011.

Target is selling the Samsung Vitality for $99.99 and the ZTE Score for $69.99 (for the record, we prefer the Vitality.)

In addition to unlimited song downloads, ringtones, and ringback tones, the $55 per month plan also gets you nationwide calling, unlimited text and multimedia messaging, and 3G data.
