I've had this phone for a year. I like it. I love the way it looks and the sliding design. It's very sturdy. I've dropped it several times and you can't tell at all. It picks up signal pretty well too (much better than my previous phone). It has it's cons though too. It freezes up quite a bit and the back is almost impossible to get off so I can't even take the battery out to unfreeze it. I just have to wait until it unfreezes, which doesn't usually take more than a minute or two. The texting is not convenient at all. You can't do multiple page texts, which is super annoying. Also, if you answer calls with the speakerphone button, it's silent. You can't hear the person who called, but they can hear you. So, you have to call them back. Overall though, I love the phone and I would recommend it.

Pros

design
appearance
very sturdy
good signal

Cons

freezes up
can't do multiple page texts
speakerphone glitch

I bought this in June 2008 to replace my m330 ( i think that was the name) that fell apart. So I had this for a year. It is extremely sturdy. I have dropped it plenty and it still looks and worksd like new. the tv feature works rather well. I seem to have problems hearing and understanding anyone that calls me from a different network but i do not know if thats just my reception or the phone itself. ONE THING I HATE........NO HEADPHONE JACK! You have to use an adabter and buy a compatable head set to listen to music and use the charging hole to plug the headphone adapter in to listen to music. A BIG PAIN IN THE ASS. Let me tell you because of that you can not listen to music and charge the phone at the same time, so basically i only get an hour of music before the battery drains and i have to recharge. I want a phone that has a seperate jack so i can have it in the charger and listen to music at the same time.

Pros

Sharp looking, good TV play

Cons

can not charge and listen to music at the same time, you have to have an adapter and a compatable headset to listen to music. pain

Stupid Phone

The phone is sleek, silver, and takes better pics than some of the other sprint phones. great bargain right? CORRECT! until you get the AWESOME white screen of death! then the phone is just a total pain. I don't advise getting it

people ALWAYS drop their phone at one time or another, so a phone SHOULD be made to handle a little rough handleing. it makes no sense that a phone would stop working after a minor fall. mine stopped working before i even dropped it.

Pros

sleek design
easy to use

Cons

white screen of death
phone started freezing at around 3 months
