 Worst phone Worse Service ever July 24, 2008
I purchased this phone with minutes on June 12. On June 21, I called Virgin Mobile because phone would not stay charged. Replacement phone received June 26. Activated replacement phone July 1, after 1 week, the exact same problem -- phone does NOT stay charged. Called Virgin Mobile again. Told me nothing wrong!! Box states standby charge = 9 days. Phone only stays charged 36 hours without use! Virgin Mobile NOT sympathetic, said nothing they can do, REFUSED to refund money for phone or minutes. Said we can only send you another replacement. Said it was "normal" to charge every night. I said "false advertising?" Virgin mobile: no comment. By the way, the service area for my location is fair to good. NO reason for battery draining all the time except its a piece of pure junk. Overall review is F- don't waste your time
Not a great phone July 18, 2008
Battery really dies quickly even though there aren't many features to the phone. Easy to use phone and I like it but must be charged daily. I love virgin mobile and bought the Wildcard and love it.
Intolerably Slow!! Only use as a backup or if you absolutely cannot afford anything else. April 28, 2008

This phone is absolutely unusable. Depending on what you're doing there is a 2-6 second pause between actions. In other words, if you save a contact and then want to make a call ... you ... have ... to ... ... ... wait. Useless!! You've been warned!
 Virgin Mobile marbl (I have the Grass Green version!!) April 6, 2008
Pro's: pre-paid, cheap minutes & texting fees, you can add plans (like, for ex; $5 a month for 200 texts, or $20 for 1000 texts). Virgin Mobile itself has really good coverage, it has a plan with Sprint for that.
I really like the phone, I like the 'flip phone' feature, I originally had a 'candy-bar' phone, I liked that one, but since upgrading to a flip phone, i like the flip way better! A lot of people have rated the VM Marbl really low, on many reviews. Since I have the green version (called "green grass--limited edition", perhaps that is an upgraded version? because I love mine!) The texting is fast, easy, and battery life is good. Of course, to get the maximum battery life, you have to completely drain the battery before recharging, this way, you conserve the energy, it charges faster and lasts longer. It doesn't have internet on this specific phone (other virgin mobile phones do) but then again, this phone is $15 in stores. I bought mine at Walmart. The minutes (called Top-Up cards) are reletively cheap. 200 minutes is $20, 400 is $30, and 1000 minutes is $50. TracFone is double that ($40 for 200 minutes, and etc. I don't mean to put down TracFone, I had them previously, and loved it! no complaints, just more expensive. Trying to weigh out the pro's and con's of both of them.
Its really light, durable, bright screen, the WORST ringtones i have ever seen, I bought some online, because...they were BAD... trust me. Online they're just 2.50...so not bad. the wallpapers are pretty good, but I still bought one online, just for fun... :)
Thats about it. I added pictures of the green version to the website page, so you can see it. it's a little greener in person though. it looks more teal in the picture... maybe it's just me though.
 Good phone for the price September 13, 2007

If you want a whiz-bang phone loaded with LOTS of features that can be run over by a truck and still work, then go spend $100. I only spent $20 and really like this phone a lot. It has everything I need, which admitedly isn't much. I wanted a small phone with a color display, a speakerphone and a battery that lasted longer than just a few hours. It's perfectly good for my light-use situation, only needs to be recharged every 3-4 days and it looks like it's from this decade, compared to my previous phone. I've had it for about 2 months and love it!
