Bought this phone in January and boy am I impressed! The battery life is excellent as well as the speakerphone. This would be my 4th Sprint Phone since 1999 and overall the best of the bunch. My only gripes are that this phone lacks a camera, and the color screen is hard to view in bright sunlight. But this seems to be a problem with all these color gadgets these days. This is yet one reason why my GPS will remain in monochrome. Maybe one day companies will get color mastered, and devices will be viewable in the bright sun. But so far nothing beats monochrome for this.
