It's a godsend for mobile text/IM/email addicts; slide-out QWERTY is comfortable and requires about 60 seconds of adaptation; it's Sprint TV and Sprint Music Store capable; music plays in background; stereo Bluetooth; camera with video capture and night shot; photo caller ID; GPS; comes with extra back cover, complete with curly doodles; loads of fun.
Minus:
Web browsing is low-priority; no dedicated music controls; background noise on Rant end can be problematic; more SD storage out of the box would be nice.
If you want to maintain contact along the way, the Rant you covered. Messaging is a monster that is easy to use. It supports Sprint TV and Sprint Music Store, and not surprisingly well in the department of multimedia, messaging phone. A video camera and some base effects make it the perfect accessory for shooting outside the updates or flirting with friends. With expandable storage and a focus on fun, the Rant is an explosion of mobile perpetual.
