Now that Sprint is getting an eco-friendly Android smartphone, they don’t have much of a need for an eco-friendly feature phone like the Samsung Restore.

Like an older brother passin’ down his old toys to a younger sibling, it looks like Sprint will be passin’ down the duties of carrying the Samsung Restore to their pre-paid brand, Virgin Mobile. Outside of the branding tweak, the Restore is pretty much unchanged.

The Restore should hit the shelves on Virgin Mobile for $79.99 (without contract) come April 18th.
