Just great

I couldn't be any happier with this phone, or Boost Mobile. I guess I don't understand how they are owned by Sprint/Nextel, because Boost customer service is miles above their own. Also, for the price, $50 for the phone, and $50 per month, unlimited everything, it just can't be beat, not even by other pre-paid services. Add the fact that the phone can be used as a dial up modem in a pinch, what else could you ask for, for so little money?

I work in construction, and have no problems at all with this phone. I have dropped it, and have sat on countless times. I love how loud the speaker phone is.

I also make international calls using this phone, and the rates are less than ALL THE OTHER CARRIERS! I just add a few dollars to my account, and I can call England straight from the phone, just as if I was using a landline.

I wouldn't recommend using the phone as a modem for everyday web surfing, as it is slow as heck, but in a pinch, for directions or other information, it's great.

I could whine about the small, low resolution screen, and some other things that I wish were better, but really, for the price?? And I will deal with the odd little cover over the charger port, because it is mini-usb. There are far more expensive phones that lack the usb port. I can charge it directly from my laptop.

Also, you can have your current phone number ported to this phone (and boost mobile) which such a plus. I would recommend this phone, and Boost, to anyone who asks. Why worry about friends and family plans, and other confusing garbage from the major carriers when you can get unlimited everything, with no worries about a sudden $500 bill in the mail?? If the phone does break, I'll get a new one, for $50 bucks, and just move the sim card. Sprint should be so smart about their own damn service.

It's just great. Period.

Pros

Mini-usb port, works as a modem for a laptop, small, great sound, awesome price

Cons

Slow on the web on the phone, and when used as a modem

Do Not Get This Phone

I have had this phone for a while and the phone constantly freezes.  All of the buttons stop working and I am unable to even turn the phone off.  I have gotten 2 new i335 phones and they all have the same problem.  Some of them act up right away while others take a little while before the buttons freeze.  I don't think it matters who your service is through the phone itself is garbage.

This is a good intro phone for people just starting with Nextel. I would not recommend it for people prone to dropping or if you have problems with small devices.

Pros

Bluetooth
Loud

Cons

No Camera
