Virgin Mobile USA today announced a music phone, the Kyocera Slider Sonic. The Sonic is based off of the Slider Remix, but has added music features to keep it in step with the rest of the mobile industry. This phone showed up on Virgin's website recently, but we now know a few more details.
Feaures of the Slider Sonic include:
The Kyocera Slider Sonic will be available in October at Virgin Mobile retail outlets for $249.99.
i think this phone is like so tight i want it too. i had the original slider but it had broke but now i want this one it seems so tight!
Where can I get this phone? Doesn't seem to be out yet...Virginmobile said Oct 1st..still waiting...
Errrrrrr
its out now. you can order it online through virgin mobile USA. i just ordered mine today. the price is a lil high for my budget, but it looks well worth it!
Can u buy it at retail stores ex: Target,Walmart juz to name a few??
i am getting one for x mas which is 76 days away but u cant transfer thepics to ur computer because virgin mobile blocked it out but even though it is for xmas i still have to pay for some of it
I got it Oct 4th (my birthday woohoo) at like 5:00am eastern time on Virgin's site. I took it to a VA Tech game and took pics and mini movie clips and all were excellent! The mp'3 could play more but what do you expect with the amount of memory it has. Can't wait for more memory to come out.
I own 4 Virgin mobile phones and this one is by far the best with it's features.
Rock on, pic on and mini movie your ass away!
AH Muh Gawd. I canot wait for my 'rents to get me this phone! I have heard bad things about it though..bad quality in pics, not enough room. How are the music videos and other heavy.com clips? Noone has mentioned these. I am still wondering how they are and if this phone is really worthy it!!!
how much music can it store and is it relly worth it
How much music can this phone store and is it relly worth it
Yeah i want one so bad but i just got the new one from last year and it sux bcause it wanted a slider phone wit im and i got the flasher instead.
ya that phone looks cool
I bought this phone last week and can honestly say it is an awesome phone. I wish it came with a larger card but the speaker sounds awesome. The phone is really well built and looks great. A real attention getter. I returned it because most of my friends are on verizon so its cheaper for me to go with a verizon pay as you go but I am thinking of getting the slider sonic again because I like it so much. Just carry two phones :)
And what about nokia n91 with 4 GB memory? Is it music phone?
i just got the slider sonic phone it looks great. it also takes videos, has games,web browsing, and a camera + Video player and downloadable videos from heavy.com. the max size for mini sd memory cards for this phone is 1Gb. you can only use cards formatted for this phone. I have been with virgin mobile since the party animal (another kyocera phone). I also have a vox 8610. so this is my second year with virgin and I love them.
I just ordered my Slider Sonic this evening and now just waiting for it to come in. I'm so anxious. I'm wondering how many songs can this phone holds? Can I download music videos from my computer to my phone? Can I transfer pics to my computer? I'm real curious about this phone. But I will know more when it arrives in a few days. Also, where can I purchase another miniSD memory card for this phone that has more space?
i want this phone, but not if i cant transfer pics onto my computer. i'm also wondering about how many songs that amount of space will hold.

The SD TransFlash cards are available at Circuit City, Best Buy and most retailers that deal in digital cameras and audio gear. There are cards up to 512 mb that are readily available and larger cards that you would have to order. I can carry 4 to 5 CDs on 256 mb card, and can carry several cards in no space at all.
The Slider Sonic is very sweet.
Its pretty sweet I have it with the fully expanded memory I have 15 music videos. Getting a music video converter was hard and illegal but its well worth it. The picture is perfect. Im only dissapointed with the open and close sounds there are only one and the same. Camera flash is a nice flash light if you put it in low light mode. Its worth the money its not going out of style anytime soon.
can u tell me the name of your video converter...i have been trying to find one on the net...my slider sonic will be in by friday and i bought a 512mb sd card on ebay and i want to put my own videos on it
never mind...i found one
I have a Slider Sonic, and It is the best present that I have ever gotten, I love the fact that it plays my favorite songs
My phone was not very expensive, I got it at Best Buy in Valparaiso, Indiana For $150.00 including tax, I even had enough money to by some pay as you go cards
i am getting the slider sonic phone today 2-4-06
i want to get the slider sonic. it looks awsome but how many songs does it hold? and do the songs and videos skip or anything??is the picture quality good? can u hear the songs ok??? please answer my questions. this would be my first cell fone and i want it to be worth it...if its not give me some more suggestions please....and it has to be prepaid. if u have any more opinions tell me.
hey im 13 and i cant figure out how to download music

You can buy max memory right now of 512MB...that will hold hours of music. I have 65 songs on mine right now. Just format the card by putting it in your phone, then either put the card in your media reader on your computer, open the "music file" then drag and drop any mp3s you have into the folder. You can also hook the phone up directly to your computer with the USB cable and access the file that way. MP3s can be found all over the net - just right-click, "save target as" and save into a folder. You can copy music from this folder into the folder of the memory car.
You can find the Transflash memory cards at any Best Buy, Circuit City or even on Ebay. But many of the ones on Ebay are shipped from overseas, so you're better of just buying them at one of the major electronic outlets.
Good luck all! I'm happy with this phone, except the camera is a bit crappy.

I just got this phone a couple of days ago and it's alright. I've talked on it a few times and the reception wasn't that great. The camera is kind of crappy when not in low light mode.
But my biggest complaint though is that when I connect my phone to the computer, the instructions say it should show up as a removable device....yeah it doesn't. Anyone know what's going on?
omg im obesessed w/ this phone, i know everything about it and im getting it for christmas, thats when the prices go down, and im getting it from virgin mobile this phone is whats hot!!!
SLIDER PHONES ARE IN FLIP PHONES ARE OUTTTT!

I love everything about this phone but the fact I can't transfer pics and stuff from my pc to the phone. There has to be some way of getting in to the internal storage so I can put custom ringtones and stuff on the phone. If this just isn't possible I have to say this phone sucks. Can someone help me?
Owner of the Sonic Crapper.....lol
ii jus got the slider-sonic && ii love it!! ii jus wish it could hold more mp3 songz, but other than that, the phone is awesome!!
SLiiDER-SONiiC RULLLEZZ...!!
how many songs can it hold
i have this phone and want to transfer music but i have macbook laptop and i cant find a cord or sd card to be able to get music on my phone....can someone please help????? thanks
plz held give me details on how to download music on to it
I have read this entier thread . and not one person has stated how many songs the 32md holds well I'll tell you ....2-4 depending on the length of the song. if you want more you have to buy the bigger trans chip. the phone is on sale at best buy for $79.00. it is a nice phone but the photos are smaller. it works great but i get more dropped calls than i ever have.
hope this helps.

DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE THE SCREEN IS CHEAP DROPPED IT ONCE AND THE SCREEN SHATTERED INTO A SPIDER EFFECT CHEAAP SCREEN OVER PRICED AND BULKY
To Sum some of QUESTIONS up........ I have had my Sonic Slider for a few weeks, & have read these threads before buying my own... I have musicmatch as my default player on pc, so when I plug my phone in to USB 2.0 port, it has a few things listed, but open the files on the port you connect to your pc(view or open files & then click on my music). Also, make sure that your phone is in file transfer mode..(it will say on your phone screen after plugging in2 the USB port & your phone)!LOL! I just bought a 1 GB for $44.99 w/ a mail(or on-line) rebate for $10.(SanDisk)....I bought a microSD/TransFlash (it will say mobile on the package)...... BE CAREFUL OF WHERE YOU BUY FROM! I looked into Ebay for this, but seen alot of scams..(SOME ARE NOT THE REAL THING!)I purchased mine from a Best Buy. Could not find this phone in a Walmart or Meijer so that's where I went, & it was no longer $79.99 :(. THANK YOU Tonya P. because this phone is so cool! :) ) I already have a super cool contract phone..... but I needed a local #, too. I'd love a Chocalate but not contracted on Verizon wireless soooo this is ultimately the next best phone for the price! ......So there ya go..I sure hope that all this writing helps!!!!
yea
Pretty neat handset for a pay as you go carrier. I wonder if it looks as good in person. I love the fact it has a memory card slot, but it would have been nice if they included a little bigger card. You can't fit much music on 32MB.
