This is a very cool phone with a lot of features. I've had it for over a month now and I love it!!! Here is a break-down of the phone:Service- Virgin Mobile has a great pay-as-you-go service. It is very cheap. The only negative part is if you sign up for the "day to day" plan(35 cents a day, 10 cents a minute), it charges you 35 cents everyday, even if you don't use yor phone!!!Camera- The camera is the reason that i bought this phone. It takes very good pictures for a camera phone. There is a flash, frame options, self portrait mode, and a self timer mode. The flash is pretty weak though. You can see youself on the external display for self portraits. The pictures look better if you send them to your computer.Screen- The screen is very nice and bright. It is a little small though- there is more space on the phone. The screen is not very good for viewing pictures, the pictures are better if you send them to you computer.Size- This phone is a little big and bulky. That is not a problem for me though because I usually keep it in my bag. Is is also a bit heavy.Battery Life- This phone had a good battery life. I sometimes take a lot of pictures with this phone and the battery still lasts me a few days. You need about 2-3 hours from a full charge.Extras- This phone packs a lot of extras. It has a calculator, world clock, alarm, voice recording, scheduler, and a stopwatch. These can come in handy sometimes.Virgin XL- Virgin XL is an improved version of Virgin Xtras. From Virgin XL, you can download ringtones, wallpaper, and games. You can also surf the web and see a lot of MTV and Comedy Centeral Content. The only bad thing it that is costs 10 cents a day to access Virgin XL.Price- I think that this is the best valued phone for Virgin Mobile. At a jaw-dropping figure of $100, it is $10 more than the Vox 8610 and $50 less than the Snapper. The only dofference between this phone and the Vox 8610 is that this phone has a camera. The only difference between this phone and the Snapper is that the Snapper has AIM. For the Snapper, you are playing and extra $50 just for AIM, this is insane!!! Plus, with AIM you also have to play for the messages that you send.In other reviews I've seen people say that the ringer is low. that's ture the ringer is pretty but I usually have it on vibrate which solves the problem.The ringtones and wallpaper that come with this phone are pretty bad. You can use the pictures that you have taken as wallpaper though.All in all I believe that this is a very cool and good looking phone and is great for teens.I highly recommend buying this phone.Hope you buy it!!!
