Summary: great phone!
Review: I love this phone. I am not the type call alot of people, so this cell phone and the Virgin Mobile plan are great for someone like me. I get service everywhere, even where my old tracfone wouldn't get service.
there are no roaming charges, no long distance charges, and you get free voicemail, free caller id, free call waiting...
it's awesome. i definately recomend!

Summary: Be Careful About the Reception Area
Review: The phone seemed like a bargain if you don't use a cell phone very much, and it would have been if there were any signal. I live and work in the metro Kansas City area. Everyone at my work uses their cell phones just fine. I have no signal at all. Same for me at home. If you buy a bargain phone and can't use it, it's no bargain!!!

Summary: Pretty Good Phone for Virgin Mobile
Review: Our friend has this phone and while happy with the service, wishes he had spent a little more to get a camera phone or the slider. It is a good basic cell phone especially for those wanting the Virgin Mobile Pay As You Go service. But I reccommend spending a little more to get the V7 Flasher Camera Phone. You won't regret it.

Summary: Great Phone, but Not Much "Xtras"
Review: I got this new phone very recently....it's really a nice phone. I upgraded from a really simple boring phone, so I was really excited to get it. It sounds great; it has all the usual bells and whistles of most cell phones. However, I was very disappointed when I logged onto the Virgin Mobile website. I can download ringtones to it, but that's all. They don't allow you to download wallpapers and screensavers for this model phone. It's not a very user friendly site, either...when you click on screensaver or wallpaper, it just goes back to the Virgin Xtras home page...it doesn't actually say you can't download them. Very annoying! However, when you click on ringtones, it goes right to a ringtone page where you can select them. I thought it was a glitch on the website for a while! When I finally inquired about that to VirginMobile, they said it was a limitation of this particular phone....it can't download wallpapers or screensavers. Considering what I paid for this phone, that is very disappointing to me. So, if downloading screensavers and wallpapers is important to you, make sure you get an upgraded phone...the next model up is about $50 more. Other than that, this phone is great. The polyphonic ringtones sound good. You can get some dorky animated ringtones which might satisfy your need for a screensaver, but that's about it.

Summary: OK VIRGIN MOBILE, THIS COST TOO MUCH/switch to ATT
Review: to start out, the phone is good and nice if you want to show off. The real music tones are very weak and cant make out what theyre saying because of the bad audio. Also it cost wayyy to much. It cost 25cents for the 1st 10 minutes. wayy to much. Thats 2.50 cents a day just to get 10 cents a minutue. Listen if you want a Bargain, go to www.attwireless.com for some refubished color flip phones. Theyre are only 10 dollars. No Joke. I just but a LG1150 for 10 dollarsd when they had it for the go phone. But if you get one you wont regret it. Att also offer free nights and weekends and the rest is 10cents. THe best part is its PREPAID.

Summary: I got a lemon
Review: I bought an Audiovox 8610 cell phone last week and it broke after just two days. I had never had such a letdown experience with electronics before.

While it worked I thought it was an okay cell phone. The ringtones on the phone are really dumb and there are only 3 or 4 music tones, all of which sound stupid. The ringtones are also too soft to hear if you carry the phone on the street. One look and you'll see this is _NOT_ a durable phone at all. The all-plastic body feels it'll break anyday now. Well in my case I didn't drop it or anything, it just wouldn't turn on after 2 days. By the way folks, the battery is _IMPOSSIBLE_ to remove, without damaging the phone body.

This is an expensive product with poor quality.
