Virgin Mobile confirmed that the M1000 is under development by Kyocera and will be available in the upcoming months. The M1000’s featurelist is still incomplete and it will probably be 6 months before they are available, but what can you
expect from the M1000 as of now?
- 1.3 Megapixel Camera
- Video Recorder
- Bluetooth
- MEDIA player
- GPS Locator (will probably not be available with virgin mobile)
- QWERTY Keypad
- and more.. of course!
You might want to note that above I said MEDIA player, as opposed to a music player. Some have hinted that you will be able to watch videos on the phone, in addition to it’s mp3 player!
The M1000 is pretty much the new switch_back… I’m sure the color of the phone will change before it’s release.. Atleast.. Let’s all hope so.

I think Virgin Mobile has THE best plans and customer service among the prepaid services here in the US. That said, VM-USA seems to always go for the ugly Bettys of phones. I am curious as to why their phones always seem several years behind the device gamut of other prepaids, with the exception of tracfone.

I totally agree.. Virgin Mobiles phones have been lagging in design. This new phone is truly ugly.. And from pouring over some photos, it looks like the single metal hinge is supported by cheap plastic and will be flimsy at best.
I used to work for Virgin Mobile and their marketing department is definitely crap. They need to release phones people want, such as the Moto Rizr and LG chocolate. T-Mobile and ATT have the best prepaid phones, but virgin mobile does have some okay CHEAP (Cheap Price, Cheap Quality) phones and their rates are good.

i think that yes vm phones are successful but if your going to try to make a side kick why not make the real one instead of something like t mobile side kick 3 yes i love the new phone you made but 2 things need to happen yall need a better picture quality for yall phones and maybe step up to date like make vm sidekick that can flip like the t mobile side kick thats all im sayin
