The all-prepaid carrier Virgin Mobile is popular with our readers, but it doesn't offer high-powered phones. At press time, Virgin sold ten different models, but none of its other phones offered removable memory or MP3 players (and none, including this one, had megapixel cameras). The Virgin Slider Sonic ($249.99 list), a variant of the Kyocera KX5, stands out among the carrier's selection but not in the larger world of high-end phones.

Verizon has the best national wireless network, but its attempts at offering mobile content are generally—dare we say it?—uncool. Enter Amp'd. An MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) that uses Verizon's physical network, this new, youth-focused cell-phone carrier brings 99-cent music downloads and cheap-yet-high-tech phones to the number one network.

Amp'd Jet/Kyocera KX18

Like a baby Sidekick, the curvy little Kyocera Switchback KX21 for Virgin Mobile aims to sate the text-messaging, IM, and e-mail jones of America's youth. Unfortunately, its AOL-only messaging clients seriously limit its appeal, and the unusual design may irritate older customers.

Kyocera Switchback KX21

The popular MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) doesn't offer much in the way of high-end phones, but it does lease quality bandwidth from Sprint. It offers plans with no annual contracts and prepaid options that let you buy minutes by the bucketload. Virgin Mobile's latest messaging handset, the Kyocera Wild Card, brings some features you wouldn't expect to find on a low-end handset, including numeric and QWERTY keyboards, Bluetooth connectivity, an IM client, and a 1.3-megapixel camera.
