I was considering switching from my virgin mobile cyclops to the new wild card phone. Is this a good idea? In other words, is this a good upgrade that is worth the money? thanks!

That upgrade is defidently worth the cash. The wild card is a sweet phone and has so much on it! You should get the Wild Card!

Im a little on this response, but yes the wilcard is a better phone despite the few bugs on earlier releases. It also provides better reception and camera.
