So, I went to buy another phone after research but came across this one instead. Bought it because it is a windows phone and had decent memory. So far its better than my old,more expensive phone but lacks a couple of my favorite features and some of the apps aren't as seamless. ( no Pinterest app, pages manager doesn't work, no forward camera or flash.) It does have a "selfie" app which helps with the lack of camera but still... Oh, but you can put your apps on a memory card which you can't do on some phones. Definitely a plus. Overall, I am happy with my purchase and if you have a windows8 computer, it is easy to get used to.

I have never been a big fan of any of the Android phones I have used over the past few years, so I decided to give Virgin Mobile's first Windows Phone a try. I am very pleased with the OS, it seems more stable than Android and seems to handle multitasking much better without apps crashing constantly. The availability of apps is a major downside compared to Android, but even where official apps were lacking features or simply nonexistent, I was almost always able to find a decent substitute. As for the phone itself, it is a budget phone and it shows. The build is entirely plastic, and the camera is quite poor. There is no front-facing camera. I hope Virgin Mobile gets a premium windows phone soon, because I would not hesitate to upgrade. I have no intention of going back to Android phones.

I'm a cheapo when it comes to phones, but I do need one with decent service and when I accidentally destroyed my old Android phone a friend recommended this one to to me because his wife has one. The price was right, just $40 on sale, so I didn't have to make a large investment. I've got to say that I really like it. The display is bright and easily read in sunlight. Even though it doesn't have as many aps available as Android or iPhones, the aps that is has do seem to run much better and since it is from Microsoft, the office ap integrates seamlessly should you have to actually do some real work. So, yes, I would recommend this phone. I only gave it 4 out of 5 stars because i would like to see more aps become available.

I bought this for my mom because it's cheaper and she doesn't really need an iphone or an android as they are too much. The phone is fast and we've never had any issue with it freezing. She use viber and FB messenger a lot and this phone does a good job letting her use the apps easily. The camera is pretty good too, with the external memory card my mom can take a lot of pictures and videos. I will recommend it if you want a cheaper phone and if you're ok with windows phone.

I like this phone! All I use it for is texting and surfing the web. I haven't figured out all the apps yet, but I'm not concerned about it. I do like to take pictures on it; however, I wish the views could be changed where I can take a picture with the front of the phone..not just the back. Overall, I'm satisfied with this phone, and I've been a Virgin Mobile user for years!
