"Great for messaging and for the hip new crowd with lots of features and easy-to-use interface" on by lukeishere
Pros: Obviously the QWERTY keypad is great for texting, along with a 1.3 megapixel camera and beautiful external and internal screens. Interface is easy to use and buttons are easy to press.
Cons: The QWERTY keypad was a learning curve from typing with all fingers to just thumbs, but a day latter I'm better. The camera quality is sketchy, and there are a few bugs with the interface.
Summary: This camera is a masterpiece, and being able to use a full QWERTY keypad is a great tool if you text a lot like I do. The interface is great, while the quality of icons and other items on the screens are condensed to fit the smaller screens, they still show up ok. The camera quality is not very good, 1.3 megapixels may sound like a lot for a phone, but it's not really all that great. The internal keyboard is small and takes a learning curve to get used to, but I got the hang of it in one day and was texting like crazy. The entire interface of the phone is nice and easy to use, but there is no vibration setting for message alerts, which makes you stuck with a short 1/4 second vibration when you get a message, no matter what text ring you have chosen. You may find yourself checking to see if you have texts. But the opening and closing of the phone is snappy and acts just right, and overall this is a great phone, especially for the price Virgin Mobile charges you for at $99.
