Amazon.com Product Description
Grab yourself a Slice before it's all gone! This super thin phone comes loaded with superphonic ringtones, a full-color screen, a Web browser, and more. Even with all that packed in, the Slice is just 0.4-inches thick. Compatible with Virgin Mobile pay-as-you-go cell phone service, the Starcom Slice packs affordability and great features into a chic, slim package. Design
The Slice features a large 128 x 128 pixel full-color screen with support for over 65,000 colors. A charging port is positioned on the bottom of the unit, while most of the phone's features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's control pad. Lastly, the internal antenna is safely tucked away, keeping the phone's design slim and portable. Calling Features
The Slice's built-in address book can store up to 500 entries for quick and easy management of your contacts. The phone comes with built-in polyphonic ringtones plus a vibrating alert. Ringtones can be assigned to specific callers so you don't have to look at the phone to know who's calling. Messaging and Internet
The Slice 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 Slice towards a song that's playing in the room, and within minutes a text message appears identifying the song's title. The Slice 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. For gamers, the Slice comes pre-loaded with three games and more are available via the VirginXtras service. Vital Statistics
The Starcom Slice weighs 2.30 ounces and measures 4.30 x 1.80 x 0.40 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 3.83 hours of digital talk time, and up to 270 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the CDMA 1900 frequency. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.

 worst phone I ever owned September 29, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This phone was ok at the start and then I discovered when I locked the keys to put it in my pocket it could still dial 911! Pressing a combination of keys in my pocket dialed 911, and I had them call me back 3 or 4 separate times asking what my emergency was. I had a phone like this before from virgin mobile where you could lock the keys when its in your pocket, and I never had 911 call me. Luckily this phone went through the washer on accident I guess it was an accident, and it gave me a reason to get a new phone. I now have the LG Flare from virgin mobile and it has been an excellent cell phone. I wouldn't recommend this phone unless you have a lot of unexpected emergencies.
 Good phone! January 3, 2008

Pros: Very compact, sleek and cool, sharp screen, very affordable.
Cons: Buttons are WAY too small (i frequently mis-dial), battery dies VERY quickly (re-charge every 3 days?! crazy).
I'm ready to ask for a return, awesome looking phones only go so far.
Lousy sound quality, lost text messages and lousy phone June 21, 2007
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
This phone looks OK but it feels somewhat cheap. The software is pretty good, menus are well organized and easy to use. Unfortunately, the call quality is HORRIBLE! I can not understand half of what people are saying when I am using this phone, even when the signal strength is at the highest level. Every time I tried to use this phone I had to switch to the land line to finish the conversation. Virgin has lost text messages that I knew were sent but which never arrived to this phone. I have used a half of dozen cell phones in the last few years and this is by far the worst of them. I am returning my phone. Do not buy this phone if you need a cell phone that works.
