Product Review: Kyocera Wild Card

Virgin Mobile Kyocera Wild Card

This is my phone, ala Virgin Mobile’s website. Considering I use my phone to take pretty much all of my photos, it’d be a little hard to take a photo of my phone with my phone.

After I got my phone I did a long entry in one of my posts about it, but now I want to do an official review of it.

Likes

  • The main reason why I bought it is because it flips open and has a Querty keyboard when open.
  • Easy to use. There’s no guessing on how to access things. If you’ve used a cellphone before, then you’ll be able to guess your way through it.
  • The flash. My old camera phone didn’t have a flash on it, this one does.
  • It does not have an antenna like some of the older styled phones, and the antenna area on the phone is at the top. My old phone had it where your hand would be placed if you were talking.
  • It was a little expensive, but worth it compared to the cost of so many other phones on the market.
  • I like phone games, and they’re easier to play on the keyboard.
  • Messanger (AOL/Yahoo) and Email can be used on this phone. That’s a big bonus for prepay service.

Dislikes

  • The programming within the phone seems to be older than it was on the phone I replaced. I think their line of Wild Card phones would benefit from an upgrade.
  • It’s not the best styled phone on the market. They have Querty keyboard phones that are much better looking than this one on the market. Unfortunately they can’t be used with Virgin. I would like to see Virgin upgrade their Wild Card into something much more efficient and better looking.

Overall Thoughts

I have no intention of trading in this phone until they come up with a new version of this phone. I am in love with my phone. If you are going to go prepaid with your phone service, I recommend Virgin Mobile. If you’re a heavy texter, I recommend this phone.
