Amazon.com Product Description
The sporty Kyocera K9 features "Superphonic" ringtones, Internet access, 2-way text messaging support, voice dialing, and some fun extras as well. It's a great way to take advantage of Virgin Mobile service. Design
The K9 features a a blue-backlit, 104x80 pixel greyscale LCD screen that displays call information, games, wireless content and more. A stub antenna extends from the top right side of the phone while a charging port is positioned on the bottom of the unit. A 2.5mm headset jack is also provided. Most phone features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's control pad. Detachable faceplates are available so you can dress up the phone's case to suit your style. Calling Features
The K9's built-in address book can store up to 100 entries for quick and easy management of your contacts. The phone comes with built-in Virgin Mobile "superphonic" ringtones plus a vibrating alert. Superphonic ringtones feature real music tracks and more are available via Virgin Mobile's VirginXtras service. Ringtones can be assigned to specific callers so you don't have to look at the phone to know who's calling. Voice dialing of up to ten contacts is supported, as are voice commands, so you can both dial numbers and control certain functions of the phone without ever touching it. Messaging and Internet
The K9 covers the messaging basics with support for sending and receiving text messages easily and quickly (Virgin Mobile text messaging charges apply). T9 text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit-- a plus for mobile email and text messaging users. 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. Need to jog your memory? Use Virgin's wacky song ID service. Press the Song ID command, point your K9 towards a song that's playing in the room, and within minutes a text message appears identifying the song's title. The K9 ships with a number of handy tools including a calendar, a calculator with a tip calculator, and an alarm clock. Imaging and Entertainment
The phone features custom Virgin Mobile graphics-- screen savers, wallpaper and menu icons-- that let you dress up your phone to suit your personality. There's even a built-in flashlight for when you're fumbling with your keys in the dark. For gamers, the K9 comes pre-loaded with three games and more are available via the VirginXtras service.

 Unreliable. Look elsewhere October 14, 2008
For a budget phone I don't expect a camera, videogames and internet access. I do expect a phone that will ring when I want it to and a battery that will keep a charge long enough for me to actually make and answer calls. Neither is true of this thing. It works okay when connected to the charger, but I can't rely on it to work when I take it anywhere. Kind of defeats the whole purpose of having a cell phone, I must say.
Very crappy phone and service April 6, 2007
DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!!
My mother and I got these as Christmas gifts from my brother. We both have Virgin service. Well, my battery would not even keep a charge for two days!!! I do not use the phone unless needed, so no calls were made. Virgin replaced the phone after some complaining... the next one only had a battery that lasted four days (remember, standby is supposed to be 7 days)... again, try and get a replacement from Virgin.. and the third phone is only good for two days...
Now, Virgin will not let me use the price as a credit, so I will have to buy another phone to get a decent battery life.. a complete waste of money.
 This phone is awesome, and great for your first phone March 13, 2007
I got this phone a few years ago before switching to the OYSTR, and it's a great little phone. I love the design, and how small it is. The phone fits in your palm. It's not good for people that want all the extras, but it's good for emergencies and for people who don't talk alot, like me. The phone has great reception, I never lost a call, and its battery life lasts forever. The flashlight is also really helpful, it shines real bright. The sound quality for the ringtones you download isn't that great, but you can at least have a ring you like on it. The phone has a whole crap load of rings to pick from, and if I didn't want a flip phone, I would of definetly stayed with the Kyocera K9. This phone is perfect, along with Virgin Mobile service.
Absolute hunk of junk. December 1, 2006
Let's see. It rebooted consistently when one of my friends called, the voice recognition is worthless, the paint fell off of the keys, the ringtone named "PHONE" doesn't work, the display got clogged up with dust, and Virgin's customer support was awful. Avoid.
 Priceless budget phone September 15, 2006
I bought this phone for $20 at Target when I signed up for Virgin pay as you go. The flashlight has been a life saver in power outages. Keeps a long charge and is great for those quick calls. The sound quality is not that great but I can still communicate. I recommend this phone and the Virgin plan is awesome. I pay $18 every three months and it's 18 cents a minute.
