hello, everyone!

My name is Kaydee, and I am new to this forum. I wanted to share my review of my phone, as well as my experience as a first-time user with sprint.

my phone has pros: great digital quality-pictures, a speakerphone, good look. readylink capable

now the cons: I believe that it's Sanyo phones in general, (but if there are any other sanyo users out there who disagree, please let me know which model phone you're using so that I may look into your model), but their volume quality is awful!

I downloaded about 18 music ringtones from sprint and put my ringer on maximum and vibrate. If i put my phone in my purse, or the phone wasn't directly in my immediate vicinity, the ringer cannot be heard. If the vibe option had not been selected, I wouldn't even know the phone was ringing. Its maximum volume playback quality is the equivalent of sitting in the back of a bus and hearing the music from someone's personal CD player headphones who is in the front of the bus.

I went crazy for three months, thinking that they kept sending me defective replacements, until I downloaded the same ringtones to my husband's samsung, and felt like I was in a nightclub. The battery life is horrendously short, and do not try to play games on your phone, your battery life is drained almost immediately.

sprint in general has lousy coverage. Their signals drop in the blink of an eye. if i shift a half a millimeter to the left of an area that showed four bars, the movement would drop it to a fluttering one bar. I have been a subscriber of T-mobile and AT&T wireless, and I give T-mobile the highest rating. I love Nokia phones, and Samsungs and LG's seem to have great quality features as well. The only problem with samsung phones is they barely seem to make their great phones with speakerphone or "push-to-talk" capabilities.

I really would like to know if there is a phone for Sprint, that has a camera, readylink capability, and a built-in speakerphone, whose VOLUME is of good quality, and whose battery life won't leave me stranded in an emergency.
