This is easily my favorite Virgin phone yet. It's comfortable to use, has a great interface, and doesn't look like a cheap toy. Honestly, it's the first Virgin phone I'm not embarrassed to use.

I was really hoping to use Bluetooth to sync contacts, but it appears as though Virgin may have limited the functionality. The only available profiles are: HSP, HFP, and PBAP. Great for hands free, but nothing else.

AFTER A FEW DAYS WITH THE LG165 --"FLARE"--one thing really sticks out--there is no call log record of minutes used per call or in the aggregate--you must go to the "my account" space--which after four hits in one day costs an absurd 2 cents per hit ever after on that day!!
Let's see--2 million x 2cents===Sir Virgin is no fool:)--that's a big negative for me and i am sorely disappointed-it seems to me that in a pre pay there ought to be a way-as with the lowly 20 dollar "oystr' to keep closer track of your minutes used per call.
Great business plan poor customer relations i think--So i love the phone but i will keep the oystr until Virgin makes me able to check the time of my calls on the "flare"---

As an addendum--since i left these things out and they are good to know--the phone feels very comfortable in the hand-the flip is solid and the hinge is solid-the screen is bright and easy to read and the side mounted button under the volume rocker lets you check the facia without keeping the backlight on all the time--should have a great battery life. Push the button time date etc "flares" up-release--fades to black--very neat.
I do my web browsing from a computer so i have no input or serious interest in those features-sorry--calls are whati need to make and texts -okay that's the lot!
