| Bottom line | If you don't mind the keyboard and the occasional static during calls the Kyocera Loft is an accessible and functional messaging phone for Virgin Mobile. | The Kyocera Brio is worth the price you pay for it, but unless you're in the market for a free feature phone with a small screen, QWERTY keyboard, and good call quality, keep on moving. | We'd sharpen a couple of things, but the Kyocera Torino is an accessible and satisfying message phone for MetroPCS. | Virgin Mobile's budget-friendly Samsung Montage is a functional messaging phone without a contract, though its poor battery life and entry-level features hardly stand out in the crowd. | The Motorola Citrus is small and devoid of high-end features, but it works as a beginner
Android phone. |
