I would not reccomend anyone buy this phone. The receive signal strength is very low compared to other Sprint phnoes I have used. It tends to drop calls and allow calls to roll directly to voice mail. The battery life is not nearly what is advertised. This phone sucks down all of the battery with only a few phone calls. It will not last me a full business days worth of calls. I estimate the actual talk time is about 1-1/2 hours without using Ready Link or the net. Ready Link kills the battery very quickly.
