The Slicing of The Slice

Virgin Mobile has its share of mobile phones that either cut it, or get cut. The Virgin Mobile Slice is one of those that get more than a cut, the Slice got sliced. In an era where camera phones with highly advanced features practically rule the industry, the Virgin Mobile Slice seems to be out of place.

Though the VM Slice has provided itself some airbags with its web browser and speakerphone, the hard-to-press buttons and the not-so awesome display negated what would have been the VM Slice’s saving grace. Apart from that, the VM Slice looks like the Motorola SLVR L2. If you think you are better off with the SLVR L2, you are right. With a long list of mobile phone accessories such as cell phone cases, cell phone covers, and et cetera, customizing the SLVR L2 is a lot easier than the VM Slice, which has limited cell phone accessories out in the market.

Another major contrasting detail that widens the gap between the VM Slice and the SLVER L2 is that the latter is Bluetooth-enabled while the former is not. Having Bluetooth connectivity is a big plus for all phones. Having none is another nail to the coffin.

For $29.99, the mediocre performance of the VM Slice might prove to be a good deal. That is, if you are just looking for a phone, no more, no less.
