1. I like it.

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.

2. Good phone

27 May 2009 by Heidi

66.7%6.7out of 10

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.





Sharp looking, good TV play
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

3. 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.





sleek design
easy to use
white screen of death
phone started freezing at around 3 months

 Hey, there is a lot of ups and downs with this phone here. This phone has been replaced my everyone I know. Okay I got advice from a friend and she said to take the battery out for 10 minutes then put it in. I finally got a free phone from sprint of my choice for free because all my trouble! HOW COOL!?! My advice and almost everyone who has put of a review take our advice don't get it. Not worth the headache!





Catches my friends eyes
Good call features
Texting is okay
All my friends want it
Makes you feel great inside to have a cool phone!!
My screen goes blank and white.
Texting predictions aren't the greatest
When I slide it up it gets stuck in the middle
I had to get it replaced 2 times this year
What is up with the camera? Only 1.3????

8. Good phone

This is a pretty nice phone. I like the stylish silver/chrome shiney front. Always catches people's eyes. Good set of features for the average user. Speakerphone could be slightly louder considering it has an mp3 player inside of it. However, considering how light the phone is (pretty light), it gives decent amound of sound. Camera could be slightly better, 2mp perhaps. Good solid phone however. Defenitly worth the price.





Stylish phone. Feels pretty sturdy for how light it is. Nice display
Camera could be better, Charger and headphone jack use the same slot.

9. Ignore button cuts off callers

17 Jan 2009 by Christy

50%5out of 10

Sprint gave me this phone (they offered me no choices) to replace my older, broken Razr two weeks ago, and it has problems.  The biggest is that when someone calls me, I can rarely get it out of my holster without bumping the Ignore button and disconnecting the call; at least, I think that's what's cutting them off.  The call doesn't show up in the Missed or Recent Calls lists, either, so I don't even know who was calling me until they call back.  There is no problem receiving a call if the phone is just sitting on the technician's table.  The other problem is that sometimes the person I have called says they can't understand me, that I sound like the adult in a Peanuts cartoon--wah, wah.  That's probably a problem with this specific phone; the other problem is a design flaw.  My husband's samsung sphm540zks has a similar flaw, in that the unlock buttons are not sheltered, so the phone is always accidentally unlocked.





photos can be saved automatically to the sd card for easy transfer to your computer
Ignore button cannot be sheltered from accidental activation, nor can it be disabled or reprogrammed. What's the point of a phone if you hang up on everyone who calls?

I have had this phone for about 6 months maybe at the most and all of the sudden the speaker phone doesnt work and the phone doesn't ring anymore. It only vibrates even when it is set to ring.
