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!

This is the fourth Virgin phone i've purchased--i have been using an oystr for almost two years and it is in my opinon an amazing value for 20 bucks--anyone who thinks otherwise is either very rich or a techno junkie:)
The Flare is a very neat phone-only have it a couple of days and still getting used to it-Call quality is much better than the Aloha which i have read it being compared to--no comparison at all.
The speaker phone on the flare is exceptionally good-great sound-as is the non speaker call quality-so far so good-still trying to get a feel for the sound when i call different services out of state or upstate.
Texting is a bit more cumbersome than the oystr-more moves to set it up-but the keys are soft and firm and large enough for my large fingers.
The name bar in the phone book is limited in characters allowed-ifind that a negative--not enough room for address etc as there is in the oystr-not a dea lbreaker but a bit annoying.
So all in all for thirty dollars--really not bad at all-as a matter of fact damned good--
So until a real jinx crops up i say the flare rocks!-size -appearance-what's not to like????
