For everyone on the "pay as you go plan" who was waiting for a camera phone, you won’t be disappointed in the V7 Flasher.
The phone's camera is definitely first rate and very user-friendly. Once you turn on the phone, press the button on the side of the phone to turn the camera on, and press it again to take the photo- it’s really that simple. The phone’s screen shows exactly the image you’re shooting, so you can’t screw it up! The picture quality is very good especially for a camera phone and the added flash is helpful in low-light situations . You can store up to 100 pictures in the phone's memory.
I have only two complaints about this phone, one is that there is no way to upload your pictures directly to your computer, you must use the Virgin Mobile service to get a picture off the phone either by e-mail or uploading it to Virgin's website and that costs 25 cents per picture. The other is that the phone itself has a very limited battery time, the multimedia applications can drain the battery very fast, so be careful. Other than that, everything else about this phone is fantastic!
Favorite Features:
Full Color Screen with an EASY to navigate menu system. It’s simple from here to program your phone numbers and voice dialing, to choose a ringtone or wallpaper and access all of the fun MTV and Comedy Central content that is available through the VirginXL features.
Downloadable Games, they’re a bit pricey (most are $4.99) but they’re great games that I play all the time on the internet and now I have access to them whenever I want on my phone. (I’m obsessed with "Bejeweled"!)
Superphonic Ringtones which allow you to use ACTUAL songs and audio clips, not the digitized versions that most phones use.
I highly recommend this phone to anyone who wants both a great phone with fun and useful features and a camera that takes good quality pictures, all without the hassle of a contract. The V7 Flasher is definitely worth your money!
