The Virgin Mobile Arc is a great little phone!

This is a phone which has all the features you could want, and it's in a small compact package. The best thing about it in my opinion is the fact that it's bluetooth enabled. Being able to slip on the bluetooth headset and hear crystal clear is a great benefit. Even before I got my bluetooth headset, I used the speaker phone feature on the Arc, and it works quite well. The sound quality is excellent, and there is very little static interference, which is often the telltale sign of speakerphones.
The camera is nothing super fancy, but it's quite adequate, and I've taken some nice snapshots on the go with it.
I have also used the Arc to go on the internet, with pretty good success. You can access just about anything you're looking for, but be aware that you'll have to view the pages in a different format than you might be used to on your home pc.
Something I especially loved was the fact they give you an extra battery with this phone! I've never had that with a cell phone purchase and it sure is nice to have the peace of mind knowing if my battery dies, I won't have to go searching all over and buy an expensive new battery.
Overall, I think this is a fantastic phone, for a very good price!
