Overall rating: 3.5 (out of 5)

I've had the phone for over two years now and have had some problems with it mostly due to the way I treat it (not very nicely).

PROS:
Reliable phone, decent sound quality, sturdy, OK battery life, and easy to use.

CONS:
I do occasionally have the phone freeze up, or turn off on its own; not too many times though. The speaker phone function on it is very low. The battery seems to fit a little loose so I've placed a dime inside the battery cover to hold it snug (worked great after that).

I like to keep my phones for a while until they really need replacing. Mine is up for renewal now. I've read good things about the Sanyo VI-2300. I'm going to get that phone.

Great phone with great reception for the first 12 months.......then it began malfunctioning. The phone would turn itself off. the key pad would lock up. I would have to pry the battery off and put it back on to "reset" the phone so to speak. Strange codes would come up on the screen. Everytime I went to the sprint store they were not very helpful b/c the phone had to "malfunction" in the store and it was randomly unreliable! Hopefully mine was an exception and not the rule. Good luck if you have it already.........if not, I would recommend the Nokia 3588i. I love mine!!!

I had this phone before upgrading to the Sanyo 8100. This phone has a lot of nice features on it for a regular price of 99.00 and being free with a new customer rebate. It has the voice dialing, browser capabilities, and a speaker phone. And one thing I thought was really cool is that you can people's mailing addresses in the phone book part.
This phone did have some problems though. It would search a lot when you first turned it on. Sometimes it would kick into analog before it would find a Sprint tower. I would have to power cycle it before it would find one sometimes. And when I tried to make a call sometimes it would say connecting connecting conneting and never connect.
The problems I had may have just been something with my particular phone because my boyfriend also has this phone and he is happy with his-- so I wouldn't discourage anyone who wants a free phone from trying it.

Neat little phone A good upgrade from the 2255. The phone is small and light weight the buttons are easy to uses. The only reason I did not give it a higher score is because the speaker is not loud enough.
