    To celebrate the Virgin Mobile Festival coming up in August, Virgin and Kyocera are launching a limited run of the custom-themed Virgin Mobile Festival Wild Card Special Edition. Believe it not, that’s supposedly an abridged version the device’s full name: Virgin Mobile Festival Wild Card Special Edition Ultra Mobile Xtreme Deux Plus. Deluxe.

    They’re throwing in all kinds of perks with the purchase of this QWERTY clam shell: In addition to 50 eMusic downloads and a one year subscription to SPIN magazine, flashing the device at the festival will score you access to the Virgin Mobile Guest Lounge (although you’ll probably still need to buy your way into the festival itself), where Virgin founder Sir Richard Branson will purportedly be hanging out (read: probably not).

    15,000 of these special edition phones are available at Best Buy until July 31st for $99.
