What's great about it: 1ghz processor meets standard needs
What's not so great: Screen could be just a little bigger
Easy to set up. Good screen resolution. Can freeze between comands at times, but not a major problem. Good surfing and video watching. Very cost effective solution with a no contract. I am not disappointed at all with this phone. The advanced Bluetooth is a plus. Beats audio is a plus, but I usually use Bluetooth wireless headphones. The battery will go 2 days with minimal use, Will need to charge at end of day with normal use. Overall a great phone!

What's great about it: Camera, Picture quality
What's not so great: Lack of memory, Cant take screen shots without a memory card
This phone is great this is my first smart phone I am very impressed with this phone. The battery will last long but you still have to charge it daily (Note: Delete your resent apps because when they are running it runs down your battery faster.) and I love how you can film videos and while your filming you can take a picture at the same time. For a 3g phone its pretty fast (Note: If you have internet at home connect to your wifi because it saves your battery.) I love the Google play store it has most of the games that are in the app store. The Beats Audio well I cant tell the difference but the audio is good.If you plan on getting this phone it would be really hard to find a case. But if you do decide to get it I suggest you get a memory card if your a hard core gamer like me or if you want to take screen shots.

It's a great 1st phone, if you're ready to jump into the smartphone pool: not complicated at all, easy to use/figure out, LOTS of bells & whistles, AND Virgin's $35/mo unltd text & data rules!

What's great about it: 4.0 android and no contract.
What's not so great: underpowered vs top of the line.
A great price for a mid range android off contract. I use a tablet/360 mostly at home so I don't need this to be a gaming phone. Is a good everyday use such as making calls, text, email, using Bluetooth headset a and GPS. Battery gets me through one day but gotta charge at night to make it through next day.

This phone is great. The camera is easy to use and has great quality. Android version 4.0 works great as well. One thing that I really like about this phone is the size and design. I personally think its perfect. Sure your not going to have the same experience as an iPhone or galaxy but for a no contract 200$ smartphonei ill say its an awesome deal

What's great about it: plan for the smart phone is only 35 a month
What's not so great: battery life.
The phone is ok, but the battery life is very short, which really becomes and anxiety issue when you are having to carry your cord around and looking for an outlet. The screen can be very sensitive and some of the features to using it could be simplified. Not as used friendly as my prior flip phone. It is certainly convenient to have the camera, which is simple to use.
This product is... Replaced my camera

What's great about it: Ample storage space, EXCELLENT sound quality!
What's not so great: Occasional glich in the texting screen
Definitely a good phone. Plenty of storage for all of your apps and data. Beats audio is fabulous. The only problem I've had is some sort of glich in the texting screen. Somtimes, when you press on a text message it acts like its going to open but returns to the same screen but when pressed again, it does open the message. Also, sometimes when texting horizontally, the keys disappear and you have to switch to the vertical view and entry screen. And in order to fix it, you have to restart the phone. I know it is not just MY phone because I dropped the first one and cracked the screen after only 2 weeks and had to buy another. Same exact problem in both.

What's great about it: Beats sounds great
What's not so great: Over heats, Random reboot
Within twenty-four hours of receiving this phone it did a random reboot. After that it either refused to boot up or refused me access to anything past the home screen. I went to my local BestBuy to exchange it, but despite the time frame they told me that whatever happened was my fault and that they would not replace it. After arguing with BestBuy I finally decided to contact HTC who found the problem and replaced the "Main Board". My phone now works, but I hear that these problems are common with HTC phones. I would not recommend buying an HTC phone and I definitely would not recommend buying one from BestBuy.

Review 18 for Virgin Mobile - HTC One V Mobile Phone - Black
My wife overall likes her EVO phone. but 1 issue.
Customer Rating

What's great about it: phone applications, screen size, os are good.
What's not so great: EVO has issues with reception sometimes. not other phones in family, just EVO.
Overall my wife really likes her EVO phone. The screen size, Android OS and phone applcations are great. But there is 1 issue that is frusterating. The EVO phone has problems from time to time with reception. And we know it is the EVO phone because of the tests we have done with 3 other Virgin Mobile/Sprint network phones in the family at the same location as well as the reviews we have read online from other EVO users. But so far my wife is good with the phone and we are keeping it.

What's great about it: The Size, resolution of screen, beats audio
What's not so great: trying to activate it, somewhat melancholy battery life
This phone is great so far. This is my fourth touchscreen phone, but my third android. The HTC One V is a powerhouse. Let's start with problem first off. I bought the phone yesterday, but the overall swap from my HTC Wildfire S to this phone was in a word time consuming. I tried online first; didn't work. I then tried with a live representative, but he told me their system was down. So after this, i received two texts from my bank provider saying i was charged twice for switching my plans (as you usually have to do when switching Android phones with Virgin Mobile), a total of $100.12. This will be sorted soon, i guarantee. But after 50 minutes, the phone was activated.
The Good +
The phone is fantastic. I came from a 600 MHZ Wildfire S to a 1GHZ HTC One V. The phone is very fun to use. The camera produces vivid photos and video with very cool features. The battery life with this phone is very low, but that is to be expected. I inserted my PNY 8GB SDHC card into the phone to produce my 1000 songs, which sounded fantastic with the Beats Audio sound enhancer. One thing though, the phone will not let you use the Beats Audio Sound Enhancer to listen to videos and musics without plunging headphones into the 3.5mm headphone jack. The notch at the bottom of the phone helps you hold it during calls with confidence. Otterbox also makes a case for this phone, as i will also get that too.

Overall, i would get this phone over the EVO 4G, as certain spots where I live doesn't provide 4G support.
