This phone is SUPER cheap; both in price (when starting a new plan, after discount) and in manufacturing standards! My phone literally broke in half within a month of getting it, and I am extremely gentle with my phones! I wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone! Your money would be put to better use if you went and simply threw it into a wishing well.

this phone is ok. its not the best but then again its not too bad. If your having problems with the battery it is because you have the backlight on to the highest. If you put it on power save the battery lasts for about a day and a half. The camera is ok. The pictures i get from people come in clear as long as the person who took it took the picture clear. I have no problems with fuzzines of any sort. If ur looking for an average phone this is good. If you looking for an excellent phone, get a different one.

I need a phone that can make and receive calls, period. This phone was free and, for that price, I can't really complain. In almost a full year of ownership, I've never experienced a problem with battery life. The keypad does have a cheap feel to it and I have noticed that, when standing in certain areas of my home specifically, callers have problems hearing me. This is always rectified by leaving the rooms where these problems occur. I've never experienced a dropped call and, while the camera certainly isn't high quality, I've never found a practical use for a camera phone--if I need to take a picture, I use a digital camera. This is a small, sleek, absolutely no-frills camera for the consumer that needs to make and receive calls--nothing more. If you're looking for a phone that will impress your friends (a) get better friends and (b) don't buy this phone.

When I first received the phone - I hated it and tried to exchange it - Sprint gave me the run around - had me wait on the phone for over an hour - and transfered me to five different people all of whom couldn't help me... three days later - and one visit to a sprint store - still no exchange and I still have the phone. The icing on the cake is I just called to check my service and the person informed me that I was due for an upgrade... I asked her what phone would I be able to get - she offered me THE SAME PHONE I HAD......Horrible horrible customer service.....

I was very disappointed by this phone. We were assured that we did NOT need the Internet option to be able to work with photographs, and that we could download photos direct to our computer. We were assured that there were some nice games on the phone, pre-installed.
No one told us we needed a special cord to download - which is NOT sold by Sprint - and THEN go find the software? I spent HOURS looking for the free software to download graphics. Succeeded, but it is cumbersome and not very user-friendly. Our girls were terribly disappointed... and the games? Demos all... unbelieveble...
The Battery needs recharged frequently, about the only thing good I can say about this phone, is that its pretty, and as a phone - it works. The alarm works too. but I was very disappointed and we were less than impressed with Sprint's answers when we had questions. I got all my questions answered - via Internet searches... well, at least the phone works....

I didn't read anything about the phone beeping-ours beeps all the time for no reason. It's not because of the horrible battery-it will beep right after being charged too. We can't figure out why it does this. We were given this phone in order for us to keep Sprint service. I was trying to cancel because we have had terrible service with Sprint and they will never do anything about it. We haven't had the phones long and haven't had much trouble so far, but it sounds like trouble is coming. The battery life of this phone is HORRIBLE! There is no reason for this. And it is also very annoying that it does not alert you when you have a message. I am not looking forward to having this phone.

If i talk for more than 3 minutes the phone gets really hot. I have asked about it and was told that i would have to buy a new battery at 35. and that it would still be doing the same thing. They are riping people off and lying to them about how great this phone really is. I would recommend anyone thinking about buying this. Dont. Battery dies to quickly if you use your blue tooth, phone gets really hot to hold or handle if you are talking more than 3 minutes on it.
So DON'T BUY IT ITS JUNK
