thats actually pretty f-ing hot. id rock onw.
That is a pretty good looking phone.
Nice. But I just left VM after 4 years, because not only were their handsets low quality but their network was low quality as well. Fix that too.
They use Sprint's network, but yeah, it sucks. I used their cheapest Nokia phone for a while during high school because I didn't use it that much, but it barely got signal anywhere and often calls wouldn't actually ring although the other party would hear ringing and five minutes later I'd get a missed call. Ugh.
that's a sleek, sexy phone. the recessed center button is pretty slick too. too bad it's on virgin.
It looks pretty ugly to me.
If this looks ugly to you, please have a look at Virgin's other lineup, namely the "Aloha".
You're forgetting the Wild Card. And Marbl. And Oystr. And TNT. And pretty much every other VM phone.
This looks like a Samsung T-729 "Blast" with rounded edges.
So, they've managed to release a phone that doesn't look horrible, although I thought the Flare didn't look half bad. Probably because it was one of their few LG sets. Now they just need to manage to get on a network that isn't horrible. Dump Sprint, go with ATT.
It's just like Boost. They can release a phone that's thinner, but they still use the Nextel network.
