The new Virgin Mobile Switch_Back, AKA the “Wild Card”, has been acknowledge with it’s manual being posted on Virgin Mobiles websites..
The new switch_back features blue tooth and mostly the same features as the original switch_back.. The addition of blue tooth to this phone is proof that Virgin Mobile is finally catching up with the other prepaid service providers in basic features.
The new Wildcard is expected within the next 2 months, but information from virgin mobile has been vague, and the Wild Card has yet to be added to Kyoceras website. The Wild Card is rumored to be the M1000 with a different case, which would explain the missing phone on Kyocera’s website. The M1000 sports a very similar Read more

The US Starcom “Slice” is about to get replaced with the “Super Slice”… The super slice brings a better design and some new features to an already succesful phone line. The slice is one of Virgin Mobile’s most popular phones, due to it’s price, features and reliability.
And it isn’t plagued with the problems of many of the other phones in their line up..
The best feature of the new slice, in my opinion, is that it has Read more

The current top of the line phones at virgin mobile are still the Slider Sonic and the Switch_Back… but which one is right for you?
The Switch_Back is sold as a side hinged clamshell with a full QWERTY keyboard for texting and sharing pictures with it’s camera and flash.. It’s one of the few phones offered by other cell phone providers, so accessories are easy to find and getting a replacement charger isn’t a never ending quest. But the camera is horrible, and the keypad is very small and makes a bad texting platform unless you have very small hands..
As one person said:
