Great Upgrade and Virgin Mobile Listened to Customers!
By KDMask
I've owned Virgin Mobile for my last 3 phones. I even have their oldest model in use (my son). The Cyclops is a great addition to the line and is an affordable camera phone as well. One of the biggest complaints of Virgin users in the past was the low ring tone. I used to have to set my phone on "high and vibrate" just to hear it. That's definitely been fixed. The phone has a great range for volume settings. I could also transfer my phone number and BALANCE when I purchased this phone. That was welcome surprise, especially since these don't come with any contract. Because I use my phone so little, it actually costs me about $7 a month when I 'top up'. In addition, the Cyclops phone has free evenings and weekends. Wow..what a bargain! I really recommend this phone to just about everyone, especially those with kids. It's a great first phone at a great price. The Virgin line also comes with a pre-paid bag to send in your old phone for recycling. I've had great customer service, btw...even on Labor Day.

Low end phone hiding in a mid end packaging....
By Hattori Hanpei
Having owned the Snapper a few years, I was looking forward to upgrade to the Cyclops. This Kyocera phone seemed like an improvement over the older UT Starcom model because of it's slimmer casing, internal antenna, and a 1.3 MP camera. However, I ended up keeping my old phone because I can't get over the many flaws of the Cyclops. I'll briefly summarize:PROS:-small form factor-internal antenna-1.3 MP camera-colorful design-external displayCONS:-audio interference (white noise) possibly caused by antenna-when opened, phone bends too far back and is uncomfortable to hold-large external red LED flashes continuously during calls-text messaging is a pain because of small buttons and software glitches-average quality internal LCD display with childish graphics-camera quality about the same as higher end 0.3 VGA MP cameras

I like this phone
By Christine Murphy
I switched to Virgin Mobile from The Evil TracFone several months ago. I knew I wanted a camera phone, and I looked at the models that VM had to offer. I opted for the Cyclops because I like the flip-phone design and the affordable price.You gotta remember...this is a camera phone, not designed to be your primary camera. Picture quality is okay, pretty much what I expected from a camera phone of this price range. The user interface is easy to figure out, I was able to figure out how to do what I wanted to do with the phone without having to look at the instruction booklet.I'm happy...both with this phone, and with Virgin Mobile's service. If you ever have trouble with your VM phone, you can call them, and the person who you get on the phone speaks ENGLISH, as opposed to the reps over at TracFone.I've tried other pre-paid phones, but by far, Virgin Mobile is the best!
