Hate this phone. Speaker phone quality is awful. Voice calling gets it wrong more than half the time - even after I tried voice adaptation twice. Am going to ask them to put me back on my old Katana 6600. No doubt there will be another charge for that. I will gladly set voice tags for the numbers that I call frequently. The rest I will look up in the Contacts list. Sprint is going backwards.

This phone has a great battery life and is very cute and fashionable. I have it in pink. The mirror and outside screen look great. The screen is a little small. The speaker in the front is very convienient, and texting is easy. However, the camera is not very good, and the phone lacks features that most phones these days have, like video capture/playback and music. The ringtones sound good, but I can only get them from the Sprint store because my phone cannot download ringtones or pictures via USB cable. However, you can charge the phone that way. Overall, it is a very simple phone. If you don't care about having all the latest features on your phone, but want to look cool, this would be a good phone for you.

We received our new phones a week ago. We both got the black ones. We love everything about our phone except for the keypad. The keypad light is so dim that it does not fully illuminate each keypad. It makes the keypad look worn and old. The other internal buttons look like cheap plastic/metal. I am seriously thinking of returning my phone within our 30 day trial because of the poorly lit keypad. I'm wondering if the pink one would be easier to see. The keys on the pink one are clear so they may illuminate better than the black keypads on the black phone. As far as function I have no complaints. Calls are clear and we get a signal in places we didn't with our old phones. The exterior of the phone has a nice look. The interior needs some work!

I like it Tuesday, 08 July 2008 Expand

The phone is great overall. I love the mirror in the front and the great picture quality. The only thing I don't like is that you can't send a text to more than one person at a time.
