Audiovox 8610 Cell Phone

This phone is a good basic phone from Virgin Mobile.  It doesn't have a ton of features, but it is therefore a good "first phone," especially for people who aren't totally tech-savvy.  It is quite easy to use, and the pictures are pretty clear.  The battery life is also quite good, as is the ease of use.  Again, it won't compare to other technologically advanced phones - it's just a simple flip phone - but it gets the job done.  Unfortunately, there is no camera, but the Virgin Mobile service that you get on this phone is pretty good.  Overall, I'd say it's a solid phone for those looking for just that - a phone, and not a complicated tech toy.
