I think this phone is really good if you want to use it as a phone. No bells and whistles just very nice Sanyo user friendly, as always. Styling is very nice. Reception very clear. I don't use the push and chat. However, one minus is that the keyboard light does not illuminate the entire keyboard well, leaving the keys on the left hand side not shining as much as the middle and right side keys. If you want a smart phone, then this not for you but if you want a dependable phone then get this one.
Standby time in local area with no added features and not in update mode: less than 30 hours (and this is the second phone with this issue). Also, instructions do not match phone and do not match web. Example, phone claims to have voice activation. It does not - discontinued three months ago but not advertised by Sanyo. Claims to have internal update to software via menu. Does not - also a discontinued / not advertised feature. Weak and static filled two-way speaker phone.
I would not have this phone but my company requires I use one of theirs.
Seriously, I pay a lot...just to have this phone. it has no camera, and qchat it has but not great reception. i been using sprint for 8 years, and i have been satisfied enough.
