Virgin Mobile's latest offering, a teenybopper device developed by Kyocera, includes a controversial little surprise: strip poker. Virgin and Kyocera, themselves, are marketing the new phone as the perfect gadget for text message-happy youngsters.

Considering the fact that the Switch_Back (underscore is intentional, seemingly to “underscore" the text message-friendliness of the phone) is being openly targeting at teens, it seems strange that Virgin would choose to include “Sexy Poker" as a pre-loaded feature of the phone. Ironically, in its review of the previous version of “Sexy Poker," IGN wrote that the R-rated poker game was “probably best kept out of the hands of kids." This very game, however, is now being delivered into the hands of those same “kids."
