Did Virgin Mobile get rid of its downloads options? I tried to add applications like the online manual said, but what they show on the manual doesn't come up on the real phone. All the apps page on the phone shows is Audio File and Gameloft, and Gameloft is "not currently available" ... been that way for quite a while.
BRING BACK THE APPS!!!

This is a good phone for the price. The battery charge last 3 times longer than any other phone I have had, although I haven't used the Galaxy or iPhones. The pull-out keyboard can be useful, but I don't do much texting so it not that important to me. The volume for the MP3 player can be a little louder, and the camera is pretty basic. I haven't found any useful apps for this, but I haven't looked much as I probably wouldn't use them on a phone with this screen size. The great battery life is what I like the most. I can use it a few times a day for a few days without having to recharge, although I always recharge it before anything near full discharge. I have had it for less than 6 months so I can't speak as to its longevity. If you just want a basic phone with good battery life for talking and playing MP3s occasionally, it is hard to beat this one for the price.
Pros:
battery life

The pull out key board for texting is great. The sound quality is very good.
The battery life is terrible. When the bars go down to three, you had better recharge, because you only have a VERY short time remaining. Maybe it is just my phone.
Camera is pretty good also.

I have had this phone for less than a year, bought it last july, and the screen has had lines of dead marks that the screen was dying.
I have not dropped the phone or any other damage to the phone. Even then the phones screen dies.

1. I have never seen a more screwed up way to do billing.
2. The menu structure is not intuitive.
3. At times my alarms will not operate and must be reset them when I have not disabled them.
4. If a calculator is to be put on a phone, it should surpass 6'th grade level with features suitable for an adult.

The best part about this phone is it's recyclable except for the battery. I would say it's extremely durable considering how many times I've dropped it since i've owned it for 3 years.

This phone is o.k. I have had better, when you try and text and another text are call comes in it loses what you were in the middle of typing. Also the internet to access virgin mobile is not compatable to the screen. So any internet surfing should just be done on your personal computer.
Cons:
internet text interupt
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The phone is easy to use for the most part. It has no assessories listed for it. I bought a generiac window scress that I made it fit. A carring case at the five dollor store and there is no actual case for the phone, which I thought would be a good assessory. Otherwise the features are ok.
Cons:
no assessories
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Overall the phone is ok but The screen display for texting is very difficult to read. Yellow letters on a red background and no ability to change it.
When in keylock mode and I ge a call it seems to always go to ignore with text when Im trying to answer the call. The keylock is on but some of the buttons still work.
The demo game bejeweled when using the option to purchase it downloads a game which is only partially displayed on the screen and cannot be played. The demo works fine but the purchased game is unplayable

I have had this Samsung M575 for approximately six months. It has been by far, the best cell phone I have ever owned. Reasonably priced and loaded with quality features, it has all the bells and whistles of the 4 and 5 GB phones. What it may lack in speed, it makes up for in quality of performance, battery life, and extremely good product for the price of the phone. I would highly recommend this phone for everyone that wants a smart phone but doesn't want to pay 100's of dollars for it. If something happened to this phone today, I would replace it with the exact same phone.
Pros:
everything
I would recommend this to a friend!

Every time I tried to use the blue tooth, the phone would freeze up so it made the feature unusable.
When I set a scheduled event on the calender, it would alert me on random dates; dates that were not set to alert me.

There's nothing really special about this phone but there really isn't much to complain about either. Menus are easy to navigate. Keyboard is nice for texting. There isn't enough space allotted for text messages. I have to delete messages all the time. When memory is full you just don't get any more messages even after you delete what you have. You have to ask the person to resend the message after you've cleared your inbox. Getting on Facebook and the web is okay. Kind of slow. The phone itself seems to be pretty durable. I've dropped it several times and it's still working just fine. Definitely a phone for someone who can't afford the fancy phones.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I read some of the other reviews and I haven't had any problems with keys not working or the screen freezing. My phone works great! I have my own business and make a lot of phone calls and send a lot of texts and my phone has shown great staying power. It has survived many drops, battery lasts a couple days between charging, and it's easy to use. It is frustrating to have my texts dismissed in the middle of writing them when a new text comes in. Also if I'm using the number pad to text a lot of the T9 default words are actually number series instead of words. That's a little weird and inconvenient. But overall for a basic phone and no contract, I'm very pleased!
Pros:
everything but a few text quirks
I would recommend this to a friend!
