Everything is great - trackball could use work, 2010-06-30 Excellent phone and no problems at all - except the trackball. I am sure you've read the trackball issues with this phone already so I won't bore you with them.
Great Phone and Easy to Use, 2010-05-13 I have had this phone for over two weeks and has NOT disappointed. Very intuitive and easy to use. Email is a breeze, talk quality is good. Screen is vibrant and big enough. Easy to type after getting used to the keys. Once you know the phone inside-out, you will ask yourself "Where has this phone been all my life." I am definitely hooked to my crackberrry. Apps are great and I don't need all the other crap other smartphones offer.
Once you get used to the trackball and keypad, and all the little tricks and shortcuts [...], you'll be a crackberry addict too.
I am on this phone so darn much, the battery doesn't hold up. Just turn the vibration off and keep a car charger handy and it is NOT an issue. Comes with USB cable which I keep at work to charge aswell. I am happy with my purchase and WILL recommend to friends and family.
Never buy a phone from Amazon/Sprint, 2010-04-02 I've tried twice to purchase this phone through Amazon and switch to Sprint. Both times, I've been sent an e-mail from Amazon to contact Sprint to verify my information before the order can be processed. I've done so immediately after receiving the e-mail, and Sprint has verified and approved me for service both times.
Then, things go downhill. The order on Amazon just remains stagnant, and Amazon eventually tells me:
"Since you placed your order for service with Sprint, we have been working with them to process your application for service. Unfortunately, we have yet to receive approval from Sprint to process your order."
Amazon and Sprint really need to fix their communication skills. I was hoping to have this phone in mid March, but it's looking like I'll have to find some other means of getting it since Amazon in incapable of processing a phone order correctly.
its a good phone, 2010-02-24 i think its a good phone and network and i would recommend to other pple.
Very disappointed, 2010-01-24 After witnessing the near addiction Blackberry owners seem to have with their thumbs feverishly flying all over the keyboard in near ecstasy, it seemed like maybe it was time to see what all the enthusiasm was about. I travel internationally every week so the tour seemed like a no-brainer. For a few days it seemed I had joined the zombie army also and couldn't put it down. After having it a few months to make a level headed assessment now I can pass on my accurate impressions and sorry to say they aren't very positive. On the plus side, the "push" technology is welcome. While this feature is especially ideal for the business user which comprises the core of Blackberry users, it holds great appeal to the e-mail addicted among us who like to feel like the newscasters who receive a paper from off camera and then solemnly say, "this just in". Like most smartphones, having the icons on screen waiting to be easily accessed is convenient and there are a fair number of simple apps available at modest cost. The negatives are many and serious. Most irksome is the processor itself and the fact that the unit is painfully slow. It takes forever to boot; if it is receiving a message or downloading something in the background i.e. news or weather, it is completely unresponsive to commands. Second is the abysmal functioning of the trackball. It constantly gets stuck or moves with no result. Exasperating. The battery time is ridiculously short. Depending on usage it may not even last an entire day. You simply must have a second fully charged battery at the ready to swap out and then wait for the sloooow boot up again. Although the keyboard is supposed to be improved, I still find myself constantly mis-hitting. The tour 2 is making a debut and is said to address some of these and other issues. In fairness, I have talked to people who love their Tour. But if I could do it over again I would not make this purchase and discourage like minded users to avoid it.
