What's a good Sprint Cell Phone?

[thehstrybean]

I'm looking for a new cell phone. I have Sprint. What's a good sprint phone that has bluetooth, but is also durable? Any cell people feel free to chime in. If I can put it on the sprint network, recommend it...

Looks like A900 to me

I like my A920. The A900's battery life sucks.

true, but I have grown to love my Motorola L6 (slvr size)...and cannot deal with a thick phone...therefore the A900 is really my only option, next to the KATANA. I really don't talk on the phone a ton daily...and I charge it every night anyways, not a big problem

I started out looking at the A920...looks like I'm back at it...Does it have voice dialing for free on the phone, or is it still $$ to get it?

It's free on the phone.

I have this phone and enjoy it very much. I would think because of its size that it's more durable than the A900.

fusic by LG

awesome features

FM transmitter (mp3's)
blue tooth

and all the others mentioned in thread
only bad thing it's a little girly.

edit:::flip phone as thin as the a900

 

[thehstrybean]

Yeah, I had looked at the fusic...it's nice, but I did think it was a little girly...Hmm...

Even with my $75 upgrade rebate, it's still gonna be expensive...

 

[archiloco]

unsure as to how durable the KATANA might be, but the A920 very solid phone.

stay away from the fusic....... I work at a sprint store, most of them have nothing but problems, one of my co-workers bought one when it came out and returned it the same day, another co-worker was given one and says its a peice of crap (it heats up for no reason and drops calls like crazy) and prolly 60% of the ones we sold were returned.

How about the Katana? I just got back from a sprint store, and it looked really nice...

I have the Sanyo Katana, it's very nice. I've been with Sprint for 7+ years and had my fair share of phones. Sanyo's are definitely the best in terms of quality and reception. They were just a bit behind the styling curve as of late, but this Katana fixes that problem. Samsung phones are visually pleasing, but they are inferior compared to Sanyo's. The signal strength is horrible if you ever do a comparison test.

Although, keep in the mind the A900 has more modern features than the Katana. That was fine with me considering bluetooth was the most important aspect (my car has integrated bluetooth). Rumor has it that Sanyo is creating two more models of Katana with more features built-in, if you want to hold out alittle longer.

im in the same boat, im looking to get the A900. But one thing, Sprint's upgrade service is changing in September. Does anyone work for sprint and know what the changes are?

Yeah, all I really want is bluetooth, and the Katana or the A900 is the only phone that seems to have a style-bluetooth compromise...

Sprint website says check back in late August...They have a buyback thing where you can get up to $75 off for selling them your old phone...That's kinda cool...
