The phone has a unique design and has numerous positive attributes, however these are void when the phone freezes up and has to be exchanged 3 times within a 45 day period. I do strongly recommend that you get the insurance and the micro SD memory card so you do not lose your pictures, videos, and memo recordings each time you change phones. Did I mention it had to be exchanged 3 times in 45 days? The manual is vague and does not explain how the less obvious features work. Additionally, I personally lost 10 downloads of ring tones and two games that under our system could not be saved to the micro SD card. So in addition to the deductible cost, I lost money on various downloads. It is a great phone when it works; it just does not work long enough. I am awaiting my third phone.

Rumor..

I got this phone in November, week of Thanksgiving. So I got it right away. And I got the white one. It had loud voice&speakerphone, sent messages quickly. But was not a durable phone at all. It looks cool, but is one of the worst phones to get if you have problems with phones breaking. If you even drop this phone a few times, it will stop working. I have gone through 7 of them. So I finally gave up and decided to get a Samsung m300.

THIS IS THE BEST SPRINT PHONE I HAVE EVER HAD

I turned in my slow moto krzr for this phone and paid the ful 279 and it was worth every penny.I text on average 7,000 a month and boy did this come in handy. the phone is small to handle which makes it easy to text even with one hand! you have two options to text. If you are a texter this is the phone to get. I revcently got the SPrint Instinct when it first came out and now i am getting rid of it!!!! I just bought me a new rumor online for full price and didnt bother me one bit for spending tht
