1. 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.
Mp3 player
clear calls
fast texting
nice heavy weight
Cant get ringtones

this is a horrible phone. i got it as an upgrade from my Rumor, and i was happy with the Rant at first.
the keyboard is a little hard to work, and crowded, so i just don't use it unless i'm entering a new word into T9.
the Rant freezes sometimes when your texting or on the internet, and i've had to take my phone to the sprint store twice because i couldn't text. the Rant doesn't update itself all the time, and that causes problems with texting and internet access. the only way to fix this problem is to go to the sprint store and have them update it. i'm not a big fan of the one click carousel that sprint has been using lately. the memory card that comes with the phone holds about twenty songs, and the music player doesn't start if you don't have enough memory on your phone.
if your upgrading from the rumor you'll be dissapointed. Many of the good things about the rumor, such as being able to assign a text and ring tone for each person, slide shows as screen savers, and a easy to use keyboard, you can't do with the Rant.

WARNING: DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE OTHER THEN IF YOU TEXT ALOT.
FEATURES:the lg rant is a great phone, i do not have the data plan so i couldn't tell you how internet and such goes. texting on this phone is great, it keeps up with you and types everything you intend to type, unlike the lotus.i really dont see what you can do with this phone other then texting. i wuldnt use this phone for music and its defintly not a smart phone.
OVERRATED: Everyone has been getting these phones lately, the slider phones. If you want to break away from the herd, then dont buy this phone. its a great phone, but its baseiccly just an upgrade of the lg rumor, and just like the rumor. it has nothing better to do then texting. if you dont mind people saying "everyone has that phone", then this is a great phone for you.
FREEZING: You may have heard problems with freezing. Well it does freeze, but not too much. and when it does its not that big of a deal. You can just tap the end button twice and your problem is fixed. Sometimes the phone shuts off, for no reason at all. Just by sliding it in and out or just having it sittin' around.
-NOTE: Although this review isn't that postive on this phone. It is a great phone for "every 5-minute texters". So if you text alot, and you dont want to spend a lot of money, get this phone!
-texting is awsome
-looks shiny.
- camera and battery are okay-2.5 headphone jack
-on the more heavier side of phones
- sorta bulky
-overrated
-freezing

7. WORST PHONE EVER

This is the worst phone ever! I loved it when i got it, untill i started getting my text messages up to a day late. So i took it to sprint and they had to order me another phone after having my first one only a week. The secound phone came and with-in two weeks it did the same thing. So i took it to sprint once again and they ordered me yet again another one. It came in the mail the next day. I had this phone for two hours before my internet stopped working the phone froze up couldnt make any out going or incoming calls and couldnt send or recieve text, plus it wouldnt let me in to the camera or pictures. So for the third time i took it to sprint after only having the third phone two hours and once again they said it would have to be released. So I am done with the rant. I have a Palm Cenro now and it is great. To everyone who wants a Samsung Rant forget it, it is the worst phone ever!!!!!!! It may look cool but nothing works right...i am not the only one two of my friends had to replace theres sevreal times and now have new phones. Save your self the money spend the extra 50 dollars and get the palm centro!!!!1
Camera is greatfreezes up
internet hardly ever works
screen freezes when you slide it open and closed
you get your text messages up to 24 hours late
battery life sucks
alarm hardly ever goes off
doesnt always unlock when you try to unlock it
Doesnt always ring
Hardly ever gets calls through or out
WORST PHONE EVER!!!

I had the phone and it was not working well, so I send it to Samsaung to get it repaired. When I got the phone back, it was working great. no problems yet. I am able to set different ring tone for different people. Go to the persons contact and click on edit. then go down to ringtones and change it. I was able to download the ring tones. I did not have any problems after the phone came back from getting repaired. If you are having problems with the phone send it to Samsung to get it fixed. I am very happy I did that. I wish the phone had a 3.5 mm headphone jack. I wish the phone came with 2.5 mm headphones.
Everything.
No search feature when your in your music library.
Can not sync the contacts with the computer.

I LOVE this phone. I love the keyboard. I have learned to type like a wizard on a small keyboard!! I love the camera. So much better than the Rumor's. I love the one click and how fast everything happens. I can type and send a 3 page text message before I know it. I have never had any problems with the battery or anything else for that matter. I have to say the iggest problem was decding on which color to get...........LOL
Camera, options and video. Keyboad made really well. Easy to type on. Not sloppy like the Rumor was.Um, I did run over on my bill due to data charges. But that has nothing to do with the phones quality. So no cons....
