Summary: The phone is ok...
Review: ...but I don't like the SprintPCS service all that much. Methinks T-Mobile is much better, and less expensive, too! The stuff that came with the phone (ringers and such) are a bit campy. I found a link to http://muwap.com here on amazon (with the 10% off coupon) and downloaded everything I needed. I'd buy the phone again in a heartbeat, but I'd go with T-Mobile service this time.

Summary: Poor quality phone
Review: Great phone, but has its defects. I mainly purchased this phone because it's a flip phone with a speaker phone (I get tired holding the phone up to my ear, and I hate ear pieces). By my experience and of two other owners of the same phone, the speaker phone works poorly. You can hear the caller talking nice and loud but they cannot hear you. Most of the time I had to turn off the speaker phone and just use it normally. I took my phone phone back in exchange for the Sanyo 4500 hoping it doesn't have the same problem. If you plan to buy this phone for the speaker as I did, save your time and money and look for another phone. If speaker phone is not of an essence to you, than this phone is great!

Summary: Writing my frustrations - since I can't call anyone
Review: I bought the RL 7300 in June and returned it for a new one a month later when I wasn't able to make or receive calls and my text messages were coming in hours after being sent (with the original times to prove their tardiness) and weren't being sent out at all. I figured it MUST have been the phone.
The brand new replacement is even worse. One reviewer mentioned not being able to make or receive calls in Pittsburgh. Since I have purchased this phone I have traveled to Detroit, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, New York, Minneapolis and Chicago. In not one of those major cities was able to use my phone like normal people. My boyfriend, who was with me through all of those cities, was able to call any and everyone on earth. He also has Sprint, but luckily, a different model Sanyo phone.
The phone looks nice and is easy to navigate, but everything else about it makes me want to scream. I have been trying to hold out on buying a new phone, mainly because that one was expensive enough and I keep praying that ONE DAY it will work. Sprint admitted that the performance is not as good as many of the other Sanyo phones and after numerous "fixes", I still can't dial out when I want to. Only when the phone allows me to. Unfortunately for me, tonight is not one of my few lucky nights.

Summary: great phone
Review: I have had this phone for 6 months now. I have no problems with the phone. The phone pook only requires 1 button to access, as well as many other features. The service isn't the best here in north Florida, but it beats the heck out of nextel. I had nextel for 1 year and couldn't wait to get out of my contract. All in all I would definately reccomend this phone and service.

Summary: Another great Sanyo
Review: I have owned this phone for approximately 2 months and love it. I've been on the Sprint service for approximately 4 years and this is the 4th phone that I've had (the second Sanyo). In response to another review, every problem with dropped calls / bad coverage I've ever heard of or had has been a Sprint problem, not the phone. Be sure you have current programming!The features that are used daily are easy to access and require a minimum of buttons to access. One addition that I particularly like is the ability to turn off the start up / shutdown tones so going in and out of meetings is much less noticeable. I've also found the battery life with the standard battery more than adequate, however, I am the type that regularly plugs in the phone every night. The plastic and rubber case serve me well in the foodservice business where I tend to be hard on any personal electronics (pagers, PDA's, cell phones). I have been told by a couple of different sources that Sanyo phones get the best reception on Sprint, and I absolutely find that to be the case. I am routinely in office / manufacturing buildings where I am the only one getting cell phone service in a group of people with various other providers. I purchased this phone because of the lack of camera, and all of the other features have come through with flying colors.

Summary: Very disappointed
Review: I purchased this phone a little more than a week ago. Once I finally received the phone I was quite disappointed. I charged as the recommendations say and then turned the phone on. To my suprise i was in analog roam at my apartment in downtown Pittsburgh where my Samsung A-460 has a decent digital reception. So, I took it to the Sprint store where they reprogrammed it. Sadly, the reception still wasnt any better than my Samsung. So, I called a friend to test the phone out, albeit good clear reception, but a horrible feedback from the speaker phone. Plus the phone book is a pain in the butt to get to. I love my Samsung in the fact i just have to hit the scroll down key to scroll my address book. Good luck if you choose this phone.

Review: I went to www.muwap.com for the ringtones like you said, and I got $1 off when I typed in "amazon" for the code. That site rocks -- do you know any others?

Summary: Poor quality phone
Review: 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.
