Though Virgin Mobile calls the TNT a "dynamite little flip" phone, we wouldn't go that far. Design wise it's about as basic as a cell phone can be. Straight lines dominate, and the tiny (96x16 pixels) monochrome display is decidedly retro. The screen shows the date, time, battery life, and signal strength, but users with visual impairments may find that the text is too small. On the upside, we liked the TNT's blue color, and the soft touch skin gives it a comfortable feel in the hand. We also appreciated the phone's solid build and sturdy hinge.
At 3.53 inches long by 1.78 inches tall by 0.62 inch wide, it slips easily into a pocket, and at 2.78 ounces it won't weigh you down.There's not much else on the exterior of the phone besides a small speaker below the external display and a volume rocker on the left spine.
You also can use the volume rocker to reactivate the backlighting on the external display. The 2.5 mm headset jack sits above the rocker, while the micro USB charger port rests on the right spine.
Features
The TNT has a 250 contacts phone book with room in each entry for five phone numbers, two Web addresses, two street address, and notes. You can save callers to groups and you can pair them with one of nine polyphonic ringtones. Alternatively, the TNT also supports MP3 tones.
Other features on the TNT include a vibrate mode, text (but not multimedia) messaging, a calendar, a calculator, an alarm clock, a world clock, an airplane mode, a timer, a tip calculator, a voice memo, a stopwatch, and a notepad. You'll also find a two way speakerphone and voice dialing. All things considered, that's a decent selection for such a simple phone.
You can personalize the TNT with a variety of color themes, message tones, wallpaper and screensavers. You also can write a personalized greeting. Plenty of other options, and additional tones, are available from Virgin Mobile's VXL Internet service. The TNT comes with one game Brick Attack but you always can get more. For storage, the handset offers 29MB of shared memory.
