Great Phone - Mediocre Service

"This is a great phone...it's great to see Virgin Mobile finally get a faux-smartphone that's not a glorified piece of garbage. On the front is the QVGA screen, a first I believe for Virgin Mobile, gives you an extremely sharp colorful picture, which will come in handy if you browse the web.
