Great phone for text (or e-mail if you have vision)

This phone is a great phone if you text a lot (or want to text alot). Also, the phone makes it very easy to access gmail, aol mail, hotmail, yahoo mail etc. If you do add an e-mail account on the phone, I would reccommend switching to the vision unlimited data plan (I think it's either $15 or $20). I've never had a problem with the keyguard feature that others reference above. The only thing I've noticed is that the phone doesn't sound great if you're in the wind (but what phone does?). Great speakerphone and easy mute/unmute.

Really cool

This phone is really cool. It's great if you like to text! Personally I think it could have a little more battery power, but it's wonderful if you like to text. When I first got It, I was The envy of all my friends. I definatly would recomend this phone!

Chic and Sweet

I've had this phone for a little over a month now, and I've had texting for a couple of weeks. The buttons are small, so you have to get used to them, but its an awesome phone. :) Very easy to figure out and VERY easy to type with! My friend Mellisa is mad at me because she has a "regular style" phone and it takes her forever to text, but it takes me a few seconds. :p

Good Phone, but there's room for improvement, 3.5 stars,

I wrote this review for the white color, and copied it here for the black/blue one.

Pros:
-Uses Sprint Vision (Not Power vision - EV-DO) so I didn't need to change my plan. -but this may be a con for others-
-Qwerty key pad
-1.3 Mp camera
- Applications: Facebook, Aim, Instant messenger, Email, internet.
-Micro Sd slot so you can store more music and pictures
-Bluetooth
-size and weight is great and the raised buttons make it easier to dial.
-music player sounds pretty good

Cons:
*Some of my con's are quiet specific to things that I usually want/need in a phone, and didn't realized until after I had received the phone. Its still a good phone, but I would be happier if it had some improvements.

-Camera doesn't have a flash.
-QWERTY key pad should have a button for the period, you need to "shift" then hit the period.
-The typing software can use some improvement, such as predicting words and such. The feature is there but lacks accuracy.
-Screen needs better resolution & colors. currently 176x220 pixel resolution.
-*Can't use own music (on SD card) as ringtones,
-*Difficult/can't use own pictures (from SD card) as the background/screen-saver.. I still can't figure it out.
-*Short cut navigation key for some reason the category "My content" doesn't let you make a shortcut for the sections within it. I want a shortcut key to Google maps, which is within 'my content', but it doesn't allow it, the best it will do is let you shortcut to 'my content' and then you have to scroll from there which is kinda annoying..
-*The idle/key lock screen is always the black screen with the time that you can't change.
-*There isn't a flashing light to tell you of a missed alert, until you click on a button and see the black/keylock screen. Else the phone just looks like its sleeping, so you have to consistently click on the buttons to see if you've missed any alerts.

Pictures you take with the phone look pretty well (granted you have the prefect lighting) on the computer, but everything on its low resolution screen makes photos seemed washed out and blurry.

I love this phone, I hate this phone...

I concur with the gripes (and raves as well) expressed by other reviewers of this phone. What I also like about the phone is that there's about 3 dozen different, very cool ringers, tones, and melodies if you're a cheapskate like me and decide not to purchase ringtones. What I don't like is that not every alert on the phone can be set to a ringer or volume of your choosing. Other things I love and hate about this phone:

- The qwerty keyboard renders the keyguard lock option completely useless
- I still haven't figured out how to use my pics as slideshow screensaver (another reviewer had a similar complaint, so this may not even be an available function)
- Why do I have to pay for Voice Command when my PREPAID phone has that utility for free??
- I'm more of a texter, so the qwerty keyboard was the dealmaker for me and far as I'm concerned its very easy to use, loads of fun, and ultra convenient. Someone complained about switching between symbols and letters, I say its no problem if you do a lot of texting bcuz you eventually get used to the switch; its certainly better than thumbing thru 1 until you get to a symbol.
- Having a camera without a flash option is a problem in dark settings, otherwise, the resolution and quality works out great- you just have to be very still to take a decent picture.
