Sprint PCS users (phone question)

[helenabear]

For any of you out there that use Sprint PCS, please tell me about your phone. What you love and what you hate about it. I am *finally* able to trade my phone in and get up to $150 back on it as of tomorrow and will be doing that immediately.

I currently have a Samsung N400 and I have finally had it with the phone. I just want something with a decent battery life so when I travel I don't have to worry so much, good reception and good voice quality. I would love to keep my speaker phone but I won't be heart broken if I can't.

I have read a ton of reviews and am leaning towards the Sanyo PM-8200, but am not 100% decided upon it.

So any good, bad or ugly about your phone is appreciated! Thanks

I just picked up DH the new Sanyo 4920 (I have last year's model 4900 which I've been happy with but I really like DH's new phone)

I was told it has the best battery life and reception. We've been on the road the past few weeks and his phone is getting stonger signals and Sprint service at times when my goes into roam (we are on the same contract/plan)

the nice thing is his phone has it's own charger, but can use my charger as well. It does have speaker phone and all the bells and whistles, but doesn't take pictures, (we weren't interested in that) but you can load images if you want.

DH has this phone .

I have this phone .

We both like them. The battery seems to last a long time (I talk on mine a lot.)

Thank you all so far!!! I admit I didn't even look at the 4920 only because it doesn't flip... not that I need a flip phone but that's all I've had since I started with Sprint in 2000. But WOW that talk time looks amazing!!!!!

I have heard that Sanyos do have better batteries in general and reception as well... a friend of mine had the 4920 this weekend out in the boonies and he did get better reception than I did on my Samsung.

I will definitely add that one to my list!!!! As well as the 8100 since it looks similar to the others I have looked at.

Kristi, I feel your pain... I can't believe I have lasted this long with my phone. Fortunately they will let me trade mine in after 1.5 years to get the rebate. Although if they didn't I might be paying full price no matter what to get rid of this thing! My last Samsung phone was awesome though!

Thanks again, and any other suggestions are more than welcome!!!
