Kyocera will go to my husband as an emergency phone. We don't talk much and will use the phones mostly for texting and web access. Pay as you go is perfect for our budgets and how we use cell phones.

Previous video: Unboxing: www.youtube.com _________________________ Now the phone is out of the box and I am going to put in an 8 GB Micro SD card and a battery and turn my new phone on for the first time. This phone can accept a 16 GB card but it's way too much for me and would be a waste of money. THE PHONE DOES NOT COME WITH A MEMORY CARD! PURCHASE ONE SEPARATELY WHEN BUYING YOUR PHONE. My old cell is Kyocera X-TC and I need to program my current number into the Touch and create a Virgin account for my hubby and give him Kyocera.

CHECK OUT TECH TASTY FOR MORE AWESOME REVIEWS ON TODAYS NEWEST ELECTRONICS! at Techtastyreviews.blogspot.com ********A BRIEF REVIEW IS INCLUDED BELOW******** This is my review for the newest virgin mobile phone the X-tc. It was edited some in the beginning due to Youtubes strict 10 minute policy. I really like the phone however I do wish Virgin Mobile would put out a touch screen for the United States. I talked briefly in the beginning about the Wildcard. My thoughts on the Kyocera Wildcard [M1000]: I do not recommend spending your money on it. The top speaker went out causing me to have to use speaker phone when people call me, the camera is horrible and produces grainy images regardless of the light and also the front screen scratched the first day from it being sat down on screen side down. The Keyboard in the Wildcard is a little more spacious and if you have bigger hands it may work better for you compared to the compact keyboard on the X-tc. My thoughts on the X-tc [M2000] The X-tc offers a larger display, better call quality, myspace and facebook, bluetooth, a better camera [1.3 megapixels] and an MP3 player, Mini Usb hub, and a expanable memory card slot [micro sd] expandable up to 8 Gb. In my opinion the X-tc is the best thing out for virgin mobile at this point. I'd highly recommend buying it, and to do so log onto virginmobileusa.com. It cost near 99.99 without the tax in your area and is available for free shipping as of right now.

Previous video: Micro SD Card and Battery www.youtube.com __________________ I was going to show how nice youtube videos look on this phone, but was unable to do that. I watched a few very good quality videos right before attempting to film that, and it worked beautifully. But it refused to work as soon as I started filming. Too bad; the fail video is going up and Virgin Mobile needs to fix their network. It is not the phone, folks, it's the network. Too many people jumped into the new plans and the network can't handle the influx, I imagine (speculating here, could be wrong, lol). To me watching the videos was not a selling point and the phone is a nice upgrade from Kyocera X-TC. So, I am keeping it, surfing the web as usual on $10 20 MB plan and waiting for VM to get their act together. As soon as they do, I'll upgrade to $25 Unlimited + 300 minutes plan. _________________ PS The successful video about YouTube on LG Rumor Touch will go up as soon as captured :)
