Excellent phone well worth the money… only a few small nit picks…
1) The phone will not stream any video online.. None.
2) Using your own custom ringtones requires outside sources (and no I don’t mean hacking or using a data cable). Simply putting your mp3’s/Trutones in the phone/on the card won’t work.
3) The keyguard switch should have been located at the top of the phone rather then the bottom for easier single hand answering.
4) No option to “stretch” custom wall papers… making 16:9 wallpapers automatically set with black bars at the top & bottom.
5) Outside screen would have been better if it was in color.
Other then that though the phone is great. To those complaining of fingerprints, get yourself some touchscreen guards. They prevent fingerprints and are relatively cheap.

I love this phone, the GPS on it is great, but its battery drains quickly. If you use the internet, GPS, or music player alot then this may not be the phone for you, I use all of these quite often and have to charge my phone sometimes twice a day. Other than that small problem this really is a great phone, and have not noticed any other problems with it.

I just got this phone and so far so good. I cant seem to figure out how upload my pictures to my facebook page from the phone. Can someone help me with this?

2 of 5. I got this phone and it has barely gone 2 days without a problem!!! it shuts off automatically, it recieves some texts twice. it sometimes fails to send a message but doesnt tell you, the design is bad because there are a few things they could have added to make it MUCH better. it sometimes glitches and you cant fix it unless you take the battery out and put it back in (i have done that 12 times SINCE CHRISTMAS!!) it cant play the mosquito ringer (<<< is a pro and a con), it cant play ANY high notes. you cant record songs because its recording is TERRIBLE. i admit it can "understand" your voice pretty well. it comes with girly ringers(the only good one is overdrive) if you get a text while it is off then turn it on you will have to wait 8 minutes to see the text you missed. it can have a battery power of 6 hours if you DONT TOUCH IT AT ALL, or a battery of 18 hours if you are lucky. the touch sceen is TERRIBLE! you need to rub your fingers together for 30 seconds to creat enough heat for it to work for about 5 seconds. Overall i am very disappointed with this phone. i am sad it was my first phone. ty.

Very nice looking phone, very cool outside screen and fairly clear inside one too. Menus are not well thought out or intuitive. Very difficult on either screen to see in bright daylight. I find the charge lasts one to two days depending on use although I am not a power user. Camera is fair quality at best and the bluetooth file transfer menus are clumsy at best. Again the menus should be better than they are! Phone dials well from inside and out, has a mediocre speaker for audio playback. Speakerphone function is ok but difficult to hear if there is much background noise. Internet function is very clumsy but reasonably fast. All in all I give it a 3 out of 5. Good phone for use with Boost because 50 bucks gets you all you can surf and talk.
March 27th, 2010
Jus got this phone last night. I frickin love it only flaws are that the camera doesn’t flash and battery life is sucky other than that it’s awesome!!!!
March 31st, 2010

April 4th, 2010
i have had this phone for a month and my battery life is excellent.. i listen to music at work 8 hours a day and shoot the web on breaks and rarely loose a bar. now that i updated the phone i can now watch youtube videos…nice phone
April 4th, 2010
okay i was on this website reading the reviews just a few days ago. later that day i bought the phone. some of the reviews say negative things about it and you’re prolly thinking.. i shouldn’t get the phone. I lovee the phone. the fingerprints show but just wiping it quick takes them away. The texting is amazing. I love the keyboard it sends your texts fast and lets you leave the text message and while it’s sending you can be looking at your picture. I LOVE THAT FEATURE. Once in a while it will freeze up but you take the battery out.. and put it in and its good as new. The front is a touch and vibrates as you hit. the lock on the front is greatt. it’s an amazing slim little phone. I love it soo much. if you’re a texter this will be a perfect phone. also.. it takes GREAT pictures. like you hit the button and it immediately captures the photo. I love this phone and recommend it .
April 5th, 2010

April 18th, 2010
I love the phone the only thing is i cant figure out how to get the music thats been bluetoothed to me to become ringtones. Also i cant watch utube videos or any videos for that matter.that sux
April 20th, 2010
i love this phone except the vibration is very annoying and loud. when you open it, it does this annoying click noise, and sometimes it freezes up when i’m typing out a text and i receive one. also, twice when i had called someone and recived a call, it made a static noise and i couldn’t hear anything.
April 28th, 2010
i love this phone except for one thing! my background doesnt work. when you flip it open, it’s jsut black. i have tried to set a picture as my background but it still ends up just black. i even took it to the sprint store and they couldnt figure it out.
May 13th, 2010
i have this phone… locks up a lot when sending and recieving messages at the same time.. power hog.. internet is alright… messages get mis matched from time to time so you have to exit and reenter the messaging part… all around.. i miss my helio ocean 2 that i switched from and wish i could go back.
May 14th, 2010
I’ve had this phone since Christmas day, I love this phone. Better than my gay old flip phone I had. I don’t care if it freezes. Every phone freezes.. Overall best phone I’ve ever had
May 18th, 2010
well, I want to get this phone.. and I have to wait until I get paid again.. so, I’m not to sure. I want a phone that has good battery because I have the Motarola Clutch(sp?) and the battery life sucks bad! but, I’m debaiting on getting either the sanyo or the blackberry.

i was told the i phone or blackberry or any other device considered a pda and devices people use to get their mail similiar to how it comes on their appple or pc
June 3rd, 2010
I got this phone and I love it! Its perfect for me. The only thing I don’t like about it is that most of the wallpapers i download to it (from like phonezoo.com, funformobile.com, ect.) its (usually) so tiny! Also, I hate how you have to work everything from the inside…
June 14th, 2010
How do I upload pictures on to facebook everytime it comes out select file but I can’t do nothing.
June 16th, 2010

July 3rd, 2010
Hey guys i have a solution to th terrible battery life. Like anything run the battery out completely when you first get it after that leave it on the charger for 14 hours and i guarente your battery will last all day ……ps im sending this from the phone and this is great for a heavy texter but you have to warm up to the key board…:)

Good messaging phone. Snaptu works on it. Also Opera mini. OK for basic facebooking or twitter. Also got Attack Chopper 2 and Colour Mix, a really simple bejeweled clone to work on it. but other apps no such luck. I’ve tried lots of apps from getjar that are supposed to work but don’t. I’d love to get the stupid GPS in the thing to work without paying a monthly fee, but haven’t found anything that will work yet.
July 5th, 2010
I have had the phone for two weeks…… so far so good it froze up once….I removed the battery….back to normal…. I dont like that the front smudges so quickly…. but wipe and go.. It’s great that my social networks automatically came with the phone…. e-mail is kind of confusing…. the fact that it locks after everyting is annoying…. overall i think it was worth the money…..I am a hairdresser… so note if you are hands on with chemicals, you will get frustrated with the touch screen… 7 out of 10
July 12th, 2010
I hate this phone.
The Touch Screen beeps away will taling on the phone because heaven forbid your check should touch it will talking on the phone.
You cannot see the TouchScreen outside in actual daylight. Not everyone is a vampire and lives in the dark.
You can’t answer half of incoming calls without opening the clamshell because TouchScreen only works half the time.
Yeah, the inside is fun to surf but it has to work as a phone first. This phone is a POS.
July 18th, 2010
my momsz might switch tew boost mobile cuz criket servicesz is juss dumb i tink i want dis phone but all da complaintsz: qot meh tinkin
July 20th, 2010
Ok…. I would rate tis phone a 2 out of 5. I got this phone in January and I hate it. You cant see the touch screen outside, it fails messages all the time and its turns off automatically. Also it freezes and I have to wait a very long time so it will unfreeze. Also I am a very heavy texter and my battery dosnt last even 4 hours.
July 23rd, 2010
Dropped this phone in water completely and it dried out and worked perfectly! Nice.
July 26th, 2010
The solution to the battery is for you to charge the phone for 6hrs without switching it on as soon as you got a new one.Then i can guarantee you that the battery will last as expected.That is the advice from Nokia for most of its phones
July 26th, 2010
Seriously the worst phone I’ve ever had. I thought my old LG Rumor was bad, but this one takes the cake. I’ve had it for a little over 2 months and it’s been screwed up from day 1. It’s stylish looking and the keyboard is nice, but the phone has soo many problems.
1) You can hardly do anything from the front screen. Can’t read new texts, send texts, or edit contacts list or call history. Can only see that you have a missed alert, can only see contacts, can only see call history. The front screen is impossible to read in the daylight, so if someone’s calling you and you’re outside, you just have to answer and hope it’s not someone you’d rather press the “ignore” button on. The touch feature is extremely annoying as well. When calling your voicemail, you have to unlock the screen to press 1 and call, then you have to hold down the unlock button AGAIN to type in your password, then lock it again to put your face on it to listen to it, then unlock it again to delete the message and press end. This is bad for calling people while you’re driving also, because you have to used more than one click of a button to answer a call or end a call. Yes, when someone is calling, you have to hold down the unlock button to unlock the screen to answer it.
2)Some may say this is a “texting phone,” but only if you’re texting one person. Even then it still has some problems. If you recieve another text while you’re reading a text or replying back, it will freeze up, and usually I have to manually take out the battery, put it back in, wait a few seconds, then turn it on again and hopefully I’m able to read the text. I was reading a text just last night and I got a phone call at the same time and my whole phone spazzed. I had to take out the battery etc, turn it on, and it said “service error,” so I had to completely turn it off all over again. If the call was an emergency, I would have obviously been of no help to them considering it took me 5 minutes to even call them back.
3) Even when you aren’t texting, this phone is incredibly slow and lags all the time. You cannot quickly shuffle through to your menu, then click back and go check your inbox. No, you have to wait for it to catch up to your “fast clicking.”
Overall, this phone is a piece of junk. I wish I had waited longer to see what others’ reviews would be on it so I could have renewed my contract to another phone. Now I am stuck with this idiot phone for the next 2 years. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT get this phone unless you move as slow as it does.

Well first, the phone does have style and its cute and the color was brilliant for man or a woman…thats the good news. We just bought the phone today and it already froze and had to take the battery out and reset. The design of the phone is sooooooooo weird. The camera is totally upside down and should of been in the middle of the cam since you have to open it to take a photo….which are semi decent. The touchscreen on the outside is nice EXCEPT you can basically only DIAL from it. You cannot text or get to any of your menus from it. It reminds me of an upgraded version of the Katana…which we all know SUCKKKKKKED. The phone has a GREAT keyboard for texting but if you are like me at all, you want that front screen text pad so when you are in a hurry, you can text from the front of the screen. You HAVE to open the phone to read your text…BUMMER and so inconvient…especially when driving. You also have to use a little button to see your keypad to dial and if its daylight….get ready to be pissed off. Im trying to find ways to love the phone since I have it now…both me and my husband so im going to keep working on trying to make the features that it does have work for me although right now im very irritated by all the work you have to do to get thru one phone call. My husband is in heaven with the phone, but as long as he can get youtube and music…he is good. Im a practical and text kind of person so convenience is what I need and this phone aint it. I would suggest taking a GOOOOOOOOOOOOD look at ALL the features and how it really works before buying and then make a decision if you want to go thru all that to have the phone

I’ve had this phone since Christmas. I’ve loved it ever since, but now I fucking hate it. -.- The phone keeps freezing. It randomly turns off. But now, I’ll explain more clearly
1) Texting: The buttons are perfect for texting, but lets say your texting 3 people, You get a message 5 seconds later while texting a message to the 3rd person, then the phone just freezes up. I hate it when the phone does that. It gets so annoying. I have to take the battery out and put it back in then text the message AGAIN. -.-
2) Battery life: The battery life is horrible. Especially when your texting. If your sending pictures the pictures just suck up all the battery life, same with videos.
3) Other issues: Service error, Touchpad screws up a lot, It freezes, you can barely even personalize it, I can’t even send pictures anymore. Uhg I just hate it so much. I used to love it, now I hate it. My new sprint dream phone is the HTC Evo. That phone is ACTUALLY worth money. Do not buy this phone. Oh, and one more thing, I hate the camera quality and the camcorder quality, its HORRIBLE. Same with Sound. Otherwise, has good big buttons, and I like the design. DON’T BUY THE PHONE.
August 7th, 2010
ok. I was told that this fone was great, so I baught it. then convinced my friend to buy it. together we have had the problems that are redonkulous. my main problem is that when I got fone I downloaded “Sorry” by buckcherry and the sound is great.
