I had a $250 credit coming to me from Sprint, that's how much time I spent looking for a new phone. Sprint just didn't seem to have anything that was just what I needed and different. I thought of going with the Instict, but there were just too may features on it for me. I didn't want anything that would be dissappointing after what I had, an older Sanyo Katana. Finally I saw the the Samsung Rant on a commercial and it was like the light of God shined down and I knew this was my phone. Immediately I looked up the reives on it and looked over all the specs, a few days later I took the leap.


Not only is this phone stricking in appearance but it's nearly perfect in all other ways. I got it in black, the blue outline is so cool. The display is a perfect size. The keys are easy to use. A cool feature on the display is called the carousel, one click shortcuts to the phone features, and it's customizable. The camera and camcorder work great and as the title suggest, this phone is like the Rumor with a landscape slide feature to a full QWERTY keyboard. I was nervous to use this style, but figured I'd pick it up fast. I did.


A different review says you can't download ringers, but I was able to. I haven't used the music player yet.


Sound quality is good. Reception is good. The only complaint I got on it is that my voice sound slightly muffled, but with my old phone the mic was right at my mouth, this mic ends up further back on my cheek. It's not so much of a problem, just something to get used to.


This phone came with an extra more decorative back. I like it better than the one on it.


What else? Oh, the battery is long lasting. You can watch tv on it. That sound quality is good too. The speaker phone is great. The ringer is loud. There are a lot of different preset ringers to choose from that aren't too cheesy. I don't think there is a way to set a different ringer for different people who call, I haven't found a way yet. You can set a different ringer for callers with ID and callers without. It's a little bulky, but I like that, just can't keep it in my back pocket like I did with my flip phone. The GPS is a cool feature that hasn't been in regular use phones, can't wait to use it...just make sure you have a plan that covers it.


Just holding this phone you can feel the quality in the body.


I'm happy I held out for the right phone.





Sturdy construction
Easy to use
Looks awesome
Can't set a different ringer for different people
Wish there were more accessories for it
