This is the 2nd phone of this model in the household. My son has carried his in his pocket (no case or holster of any kind) for all that time and it shows very little if any wear. This phone gets double the time on a battery charge of just about any of the previous phones we've had, and we've had *many* cell phones in the past 16 years. There's no camera or other blingy features, but if you don't need them this is a great phone. It is definitely "ruggedized" and therefore a little larger than many flip phones -- but it gets the job done extremely well for voice calls and text messages. Too bad it's been discontinued by Sprint and/or Sanyo, because a recent trip to my local Sprint store revealed that nothing in the current product line comes close to the "ruggedized" features of this phone. (Except some Motorola models, but all of them are Nextel-only and won't work in my area.) I've recently bought a third one of these, to keep on the shelf as a hot spare. If you want your phone for use as a reliable tool and don't need it as a flashy accessory, this is an excellent choice.Read full review
If you are looking for a rugged phone that you can use at work in adverse conditions this is the phone. It does not have a camera but it does have every thing else you need, blue tooth, GPS, web. I owned the same phone for two years and liked it very much. I finally killed it by submersing it under water for a half hour or so, but when it did dry out two or three days later it did work fine but with out the display. A great blue collar phone.
i use this phone, excellent quality in my opinion. this phone can take a beating. very sturdy, solid battery life. just a basic flip phone though, don't expect much else, like texting or internet. but for phone calls, you can't go wrong with this one
I bought this phone for simple functionality. I was tired of using smart phones that cost 400 dollars and have to be recharged every few hours. I also work in construction and constantly had my phones getting scratched and damaged. This phone works perfectly and is very durable. It holds a charge for 2-3 full days. I don't talk much on it but I pretty much text throughtout the day. Its simple and easy to use. Plus the outter cover gives it great protection so I no longer worry about the phone being damaged.
Why buy insurance? You can not get this great phone anymore. What a shame. They do not make them like they use to. They just do not make them. I got this phone as a backup in case the one I have got lost ... cause it will not break. What I have saved on not buying insurance these past 3 years have paid for this backup phone x10 over. Does everything I need a phone to do then some. Why by milk (extra battery) when you can get the whole cow for the same price. I see people where I work have issue after issue get new phone after new phone. They can not believe I have the same phone after over 3 years. Got it free with 2 year agreement. You can not go wrong with this one. Get 2 or more they do not make them any more.
