It was a good phone but....

I traded the first Sanyo Katana in for the Rant in December. It worked great until May. The phone started freezing up everytime I tried to access the phonebook or try and text messege someone. Then in July it started shutting itself off and the battery was dying faster then usual. But, I could still call and text and it continued to freeze and turn off by itself. Then in the beginning of August people were complaining that my phone was static and on my side theres was to. So, Thursday I traded my Rant in for the Exclaim and have yet to have a problem with it. Its an overall great phone and Im very satisfied with it. The Rant was a great phone and very nice. I think it was one of the best phones Ive had. But, I didnt like the fact of it shutting off for no reason. And I only dropped it 2 times. once on a couch and once on padded carpet. So, thats not the reason.

I got this phone about a week ago && i love it. The keys on the QWETY keyboard r kinda tight but after a while you get used 2 it. When u first get the Rant its a lot 2 install and set up but it shouldnt take 2 much time. The Apps are great. Other then that its a great phone 4 texters.

I loved this phone the minute is was put into my hand. Its got a nice heavy feeling to it,unlike other fones that feel like cheap plastic. texting was & is the reason i got the fone in the first place. Has sum pretty nice things on it. but theres to problems i have with this fone. 1) If u dont have the data plan...dont plan on getting any ringtones. U get charged way to much for a 30 sec song. 2) it frezzes not just when u have the key lock on,but sumtimes when texting,making a call....or doing anything. its not terrible but gets a lil annoying.
