Perfect phone and features for a low price........

Hopefully this provides you better info about the phone, the previous post seemed to be about the seller.

For a low cost, no-contract phone, this is the best. Personally, I don't talk on the phone a lot, I actually prefer to send texts to talking on the phone. Unlimited email, texts and web is great for that, probably would be a good phone for pre-teens/teens as well.

I love the Opera Mini browser on the phone. I can access my fantasy football page (set my lineup, make changes to my roster, follow the scores), watch eBay listings, get scores on ESPN and NFL.com, you name it. For a mobile brower, the pages load pretty fast, nice little menu to store your favorite sites and easy to save to the background so you can make phone calls, send texts and get right back on the web without waiting for the browser to re-load.

The email function is also nice. You can access all the big boys (Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL, Gmail, etc) and sync your account anytime to see new emails. You can even set it up to give you alerts when your not in the email app. Great when you're waiting on a email but don't want to sync it every 30 seconds.

I even got into the social networking apps a little. You have all the basics: Twitter, MySpace and Facebook.

The only thing that I didn't love was the size of the keys on the keyboard. I don't have huge hands, but I always had a problem with the 'M' key. I would think the keyboard would be more conducive to most women or teens.

Overall, this is a great alternative to being locked into a two year contract and possibly being stuck with a phone or plan you don't want anymore. Even the $60 plan, which gives you unlimited everything, is very reasonable and you don't have to worry about the credit check. Hope this helps!

I love this phone! Good upgrade!

This phone was my first big upgrade from my old nokia phone that I had for two years. I absolutely love all of the features so far. Great sound when someone calls. I would not expect any lesser product from a proven name like Virgin! I can't wait to upgrade again. I will have lots of fun with this phone in the mean time though!

The plan is awesome too! Saved me $25 from my tmobile plan without internet and data

If you are going to drop this phone, don't bother getting it.

This phone stopped working properly just a few weeks after I bought it. It would only receive text messages about half of the time... the other half of the time I would not get text messages until up to 5 days after they were sent, when I would get about 10 outdated text messages all at once.. very inconvenient!

I will say that I dropped the phone a lot, which may have attributed to its poor functioning, but I still would prefer a phone that can handle some abuse.

Dont really have a lot of good things to say about it. Thanks virgin mobile!

Partial break into the smart phones

I got this phone wanting something "smart" yet cheep. I could say you get what you pay for. The phone is not the greatest but does do quite a bit for the price. On the down side the calendar does not have bi-weekly event settings. the phone hangs up when answering calls 9 out of 10 times. The google calendar sync does not work at all if you title things wrong.

On the plus side, its virgin mobile. I am saving tons and I get a browser now. I like the fact you can look up a place in the browser then click on the number and it dials the place right away (slick). I also like the messaging which is what this phone is really made for. You can message away that stated I don't like that when you use the keyboard the t9 does not work. So its got some rough edges. I think its worth the price but just makes me want a real smart phone. Sad thing the Samsung intercept doesn't really look like a big jump either. I would buy it but neither phone has a flash plug-in. This means it probably does not work with pandora, hulu and who knows what else. So is the next phone really worth $100 more??? This phone will do youtube which I think is cool but missing a lot of features.

AN A OK PHONE

I LOVE THE COLOR OF THIS PHONE AND I CAN'T REALLY SAY THAT IT IS THE BEST PHONE IN THE WORLD BUT OVERALL IT IS A GOOD PHONE. I HAVE ANOTHER LG PHONE SO I DO FEEL LG HAS GREAT PRODUCTS THAT CAN LAST YOU QUITE SOME TIME. IT IS A REALLY USER FRIENDLY PHONE AND WELL WORTH THE PRICE. I DECIDED TO BUY THIS PARTICULAR MODEL BECAUSE OF THE COLOR AND THE LOW PRICE AND FREE SHIPPING
