I have used pretty much all Samsung phones while being on the Sprint PCS service. When I switched to the Sanyo 8100, I was amazed by the quality of it. The outside feels very smooth, not rough like the Nokia-Series phones. Secondly, almost every single aspect of this phone is customizable, right down to the phones 'Power On\Off Sound' The cameras reaction time can be a bit slower than some of the other phones in its class, and you have to hold the camera still about 3 seconds before you snap the picture, but other than that, the pictures look great! You can easisly upload them to your own personal Sprint PCS Website, e-mail them, or instantly send them to other PCS Vision users.Then theres PCS Vision, which in one word is, Awesome. I signed on, and almost flipped when I was watching movie trailers on the thing, with full-sound comming out the rear-speaker, and decent, full color video appering on the screen. They even have news, sports, entertainment and other movie-clips you can view on the phone. And, for an extra 9.99 a month you can get a service called MobiTV, you can get TLC, Discovery, MSNBC, CNBC, ABC News Live, College Sports TV, CMC, IMN, cNet TV, the list doesnt end. Try getting that on Verizon! Check it out at www.MobiTV.com.Sprint PCS Service can be shakey in some areas, but I tend to get good to great call quality wherever I go (Most people cant tell im calling them from a cell phone) The phone is a little bulky in the pocket, but nothing crazy. I'd have to say, this is qutie the phone. Hope this helps!
