Summary: AWSOME PHONE
Comment: This is an awsome phone. It has a camera, the service is cheap (I pay 20 buck every three monthes for 200 minutes, I don't talk much). I love everything about this phone, cheap service, games, quick recharging, long battery life, cool ring tones, and it's only 60 bucks (at target)! This phone is a very good phone and I highly suggest it for someody who is shoping for a phone.
The only complaint I have about this phone is that every once in a while the battery comes loose and I have to take it out and stick it back in.
By the way, I am not angry mom, that's my mom, don't ask me why she chose that name, I don't know.

Summary: Super Slice phone keeps FREEZING UP
Comment: Had new Super Slice phone for just three weeks, and it's time to get rid of it. Phone looks good but has buggy software. It keeps freezing up
for no reason. Have to take battery out and put it back in to get phone to work. After having to do this about ten times, I did a google search using the keywords super slice freezes, and found that this is a common problem for this phone.
If you want a cell phone that doesn't freeze up every day then stay far far away from the super-slice phone.

Summary: Do not buy
Comment: Bought this phone as an upgrade to my old one. I have had it for three days and it just started vibrating and now wont stop. I turned off the phone and it vibrates. The only way to get it to stop is to take out the battery. I have been reading bad reviews about technical issues with this phone. I did call Virgin Mobile and they are replacing it with a new phone (getting the Cyclops instead) that I will recieve in 2 business days.

Summary: Terrible phone and service to match!
Comment: Had a Virgin Mobile phone for years, decided to upgrade to a Super Slice so I could use Bluetooth. Bad choice! After two weeks it flashed on a "Voice Mail" screen and froze there. Totally dead! First customer service guy said it was defective, and this has been a problem with Super Slices. They would send me a "new phone." In a week I received, not a new phone, but a "replacement phone," (translation: someone else's defective phone a tech guy has looked at and sent out to the next unsuspecting customer). The battery would not charge. When I put my good battery from the first phone in and tried to use it, it froze on the Voice Mail screen like the original phone. Virgin Mobile customer service will not send a NEW Super Slice, or other model, but will only send another "replacement phone." Would give zero stars if that was an option.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Virgin Mobile customer service NOT GOOD.
Comment: I've now owned an Audiovox, Oyster, and Marbl. Ringtones are designed for 13-year olds. You can't get a ringtone that you wouldn't be embarrassed listening to in a professional environment. When I asked about a simple, classic "phone ring" I was told, by email, "Ringtones are, like, expensive, you know?" Apparently, they have 13 year-olds working there, too. Phones are absolutely crippled, as other posters have indicated. Even the website is uninformative. For instance, try looking up the megapixel rating on the SuperSlice. You won't find it anywhere- not even in the technical documentation. Instead what you get is a lot of "Whoa, dude, you got yerself a bitchen phone!"
While the phone service is relatively inexpensive, you get what you pay for. My wife and I were on vacation (she has a VirginMobile phone as well) in New Hampshire last year and were unable to use the phones anywhere, as there is a huge black hole in coverage in one of the more popular vacation states in the US. Luckily, we had no accidents while hiking or cycling. But we're adults, we use the phones only when we really need to, and we can do without about 99% of the juvenile content on the Virgin Mobile site.
You have to top up every 90 days, whether you've burned through your minutes or not. I've got $140+ in credits built up- I just don't use a phone that often. I'm calling my dad long distance every weekend and talking for an hour, and I haven't put a dent in it, so I'm trapped using crappy phones (really cheaply, poorly built- hinges are flimsy) and crappy service. I wish that Virgin Mobile would put just 1% of Branson's financial wherewithal into developing a branch of this service that would appeal to those customers who want a decent phone "for big people."

The next generation of last year's highly popular Slice, the Kyocera Super Slice VM1450 is a trim, candy bar-style handset that boasts the slimmest profile in Virgin Mobile's stable. It's also one of the first handsets available from Virgin Mobile with Bluetooth wireless connectivity for communication headsets. This affordably stylish phone also features a VGA camera with 3x zoom, speakerphone, and mobile IM and email capabilities (via AOL and Yahoo!). It runs on the 1900 MHz CDMA network with Virgin Mobile's prepaid service, which requires no annual contract. 
Super slim at just .039 inches thin, the Super Slice is packed with Bluetooth connectivity, IM chatting via AOL and Yahoo!, and a VGA camera. | Virgin Mobile Service
With Virgin Mobile, you pay only for the calling time you use. You can choose a plan that's based just on minutes (with rates between 10¢ and 20¢ per minute) or a monthly plan with no annual contract (with select plans offering unlimited calling on weekends and after 7 PM on weekdays). You can also choose from a variety of mobile messaging plans, which includes text and picture messaging, email, and IM (via AOL and Yahoo!). Virgin Mobile USA's national coverage is powered by the nationwide Sprint PCS network. Virgin Mobile contributes 5 percent of profits from downloadable content to The RE*Generation, its pro-social initiative to help homeless teens, as well as provides postage-paid return envelopes in every new package for customers to recycle old phones. Phone Features
Measuring just 0.4 inches deep with a height of 4.4 inches and width of 1.9 inches--about the width of a standard business card--the Super Slice is light on the pocket as well as the wallet, weighing a mere 2.5 ounces. The front of the phone includes a numeric keypad, four-way navigation, send/end keys, and two softkeys. The camera lens is found on the back of the phone, while the charging port and earjack for optional wired headset are found on either side. Because the Super Slice is Bluetooth enabled, wireless communication headsets can be configured with the phone. It also incorporates a jack for an earphone as well as a speakerphone for total hands-free operation. The Super Slice utilizes Qualcomm's CMX-enabled ring tones and screensavers, which support popular audio (MIDI, QCP, MP3, PMD, CMX) and image (PNG, JPG, GIF87, BMP) formats, all of which can be viewed on bright 1.8-inch color display (which supports 65K colors). The Super Slice covers the messaging basics with support for sending and receiving text messages easily and quickly (Virgin Mobile text messaging charges apply). The phone fully supports Virgin Mobile's wireless content service, VirginXtras. Use the pay-per-use service to download ringtones, get content and vote in TV-based polls via the MTV area of your phone, or get jokes and updates from Comedy Central. Pick a celebrity voice to answer your voicemail, or get a Sponge Bob thought of the day. You can even use the phone to help identify the song that's currently playing on the radio or in the restaurant you're dining at. Press the Song ID command, point your phone towards a song that's playing in the room, and within minutes a text message appears identifying the song's title. Other features include: - 64 MB of internal flash memory
- Openwave 6.3.0.7 web browser
- Polyphonic ringtones and vibrating alert
- TTY/TTD capable; HAC rating M3
- Voice-activated dialing
- Calendar, calculator
- T9 predictive text
Vital Statistics
The Super Slice weighs 2.47 ounces and measures 4.45 x 1.93 x 0.39 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 260 minutes (4.3 hours) of digital talk time, and up to 280 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the CDMA 1900 frequency.
