I've had this phone for cricket wireless, and I thought it was pretty cool so I bought it for virgin mobile. I like the keyboard, makes it easier for texting, that's pretty much how I communicate, and if I have an emergency, then I make a call. If not I wait till 7pm to use the unlimited nights/weekend (I bought this phone with thye 400 minute, unlimited nghts & weekends plan and I added the [$] for unlimitd text,) after having problems with boost unlimited.I like this phone, easy for texting, hasn't dropped a call on me. The only think though, and I saw this also with the cricket model, the camera is not so great, ( I mean it's supposed to be a 1.3 mp, no?) and it's a little bulky. But I don't really mind. The texting feature overweighs those little things.Overall, desent phone for a good price. I recommend it.

the phone is actually awesome...it does what its made to do. even though im a person who has to have an alarm clock in her cellphone, the wild card doesnt have the tools section in it...but its okay, i can still track down everyone easily.for everyone who keeps saying that the phone sucks becuase of its "short battery life", have u set up the screen saver to come out outmatically within 7 seconds to save some of ur battery life?and if u did have somewhat an issue with the phone, return it [...]its really not that bad....but ill let u know how long my phone lasts.....

Then today my son fell on it and the top half wit the screen complete cracked off basically my life was in that phone. Im saying the part that holds the phone 2gether is very cheap and could of been made thicker for the practical user!

Be realistic

Bottom Line:

In all reality this phone does what it should. It makes texting a breeze, its modern in form, and Bluetooth capable. The phone is reasonably durable. What phone in history doesn't malfunction or break into pieces when dropped on solid concrete? We are a world of consumers that are never satisfied being that we have unlimited choices. However,I have had this phone almost a year and it does what I need it to. If you're looking for great web surfing capabilities or GPS this isn't for you! If messaging, email and Bluetooth are your necessary concerns you should be undoubtedly satisfied.

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

july 2008. ringer / speaker very quiet so should buy bluetooth headset. Lots of games under $10. many nice features but very poor extra feature software which makes it an outdated wana-bee phone. Great emergency phone with few calls per month 18cents min = $5-$10 average per month.[$]gets a years minuts prepaid. no month, year contract. cons: useless internet, quiet speaker.it is a nice text msg phone but it cost extra to turn on text or other features. no suprises or hidden charges for usa calls. virgin mobile uses sprint network. no yearly monthly contract or bills. summary: very reasonable basic phone; best price per month.

I have had this phone for a week now and I love it!! I left sprint because of my fluctuating monthly bill and came to virgin mobile and havent looked back! I have refrained from excessivley opening and closing my phone because of other commenters saying that the springs will break, although it doesnt seem to be flimsy i rather be safe than sorry. Good buy though a little too expensive.

Don't buy this phone! I got this phone in February and I thought it was cool looking and an overall neat phone, BUT I was wrong. You have to pay a dollar to use the internet and you don't even get all the website like the graphics or pictures.
The graphics, camera, internal screen, and a lot more suck! when I get voicemail I have to pay and listen to the voicemail to delete it! The reset button makes old messages come back again! It is very time consuming! I already want a new phone after less than 6 months!

This was my first Virgin Mobil phone, and I absolutely loved everything about it. The one issue is you CAN NOT drop it! It fell out of my pocket and fell on the pavement and from then on the side to open up to the keypad would not fully latch shut so the main screen on the front would stay white unless you pushed it down. Really though, as long as you take care of it, the reception is excellent, there are great options, easy for long calls and texting. Definitely recommend!

The best phone on todays market
By Donny the SingerVerified Reviewer from Las Vegas, NV on 5/29/2008
Pros:
Durable, Easy Buttons and Controls, Lightweight, Long Battery Life, Neat Features, Strong Signal
Best Uses:
Texting
Primary use:
Personal
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

In todays Market there are a lot of cell phones but the Wild Card is by far the best. With a Camera and QWERTY Keyboard it is worth every penny.

poor quality
By Rae from Rochester, NY on 4/23/2008
Pros:
Lightweight
Cons:
Flimsy, Poor Battery Life
Describe Yourself:
Parent
Primary use:
Personal

I got this for my daughter- a responsible 17 yr old and a major text queen. It was incredible to us how quickly it became clear this phone, although made specifically for texting, could not handle the open/close of prolific texting. The spring-loaded hinge quickly became loose and flipped open/closed with any movement. We would not recommend this product at all. The previously sold Kyocera Switchback was of such better quality adn had comparable features, it's a shame they no longer sell that model.

Best Uses:

I absolutely hate this phone biggest waste ever i had it and it was nice for about a week then the problems settled in the battery dies extremly fast and the back comes off so easy u can be talking and it falls off. also not to mention the charger is cheap and will break after about 3 months.. and also virgin mobile is about useless if you can go somewhere else do it there customer service is terrible i spend more time on the phone getting my phone fixed then i do using it to talk. PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE. I WILL ACTUALLY BEG YOU NOT TO PURCHASE THIS PHONE ITS A RIP OFF. dont let the keyboard trick you into buying its not worth it the phone is junk.
