I know some knucklehead smartphone nerd is going to tell me that both of these phones are garbage and then name off a couple that he thinks are way superior...none of which will be PREPAY, which is the point of this post.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[JeloRoc]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 24th 2007 10:06PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Virgin Mobile deals the Kyocera Wild Card]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/virgin-mobile-deals-the-kyocera-wild-card/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/virgin-mobile-deals-the-kyocera-wild-card/</guid><description><![CDATA[Agrees.

For your information the SIDE KICK has more problems than any other phone there is created. This phone that virgin mobile offers is a decent phone with decent features at a decent price. Matter of fact, it is much better than some of sprint, t-mobile, and cingular phones in which many pay 100s of dollars for. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[dOk3y K0n3]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 26th 2007 10:44PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Virgin Mobile deals the Kyocera Wild Card]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/virgin-mobile-deals-the-kyocera-wild-card/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/virgin-mobile-deals-the-kyocera-wild-card/</guid><description><![CDATA[Hey,people,<br>STOP COMPLAINING!<br>If you dont like it dont post!<br>Its not THAT ugly,gosh *SIGH*<br>Its like really high class for like a normal cell you'd carry around texting your freinds.<br>Buuuuuuut,for like a smartphone that you do your important stuff on,its still not THAT bad<br><br>SO SHUT THE FUCK UP RETARDS!!!!<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[cordell]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 9th 2007 12:24AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Virgin Mobile deals the Kyocera Wild Card]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/virgin-mobile-deals-the-kyocera-wild-card/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/virgin-mobile-deals-the-kyocera-wild-card/</guid><description><![CDATA[agreed!!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[unitychic91]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 18th 2007 7:45AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Virgin Mobile deals the Kyocera Wild Card]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/virgin-mobile-deals-the-kyocera-wild-card/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/virgin-mobile-deals-the-kyocera-wild-card/</guid><description><![CDATA[hey can some 1 tell me if you can unlock this phone and use a tmobile sim for this phone please replie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[bxboner]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 17th 2007 2:27PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
