i have a samsung rant and the battery on it has horrible quality. You constantly have to charge it/ After am hour after charging it it dies then you have to charge it again. I would not recomend it to anyone because it is horrible.

The phone does not have all the options that I was told it did. It has e-mail functionality, but you can only look at 24 messages at a time and you can not easily scroll back to old messages. To respond to e-mail you have very limited space unless you manually delete the original message in the box.

the sliding keyboard is great!the screen has options for how long to stay on, the ringtones that came installed are pretty good if you like techno music. very easy to learn all the functions of the phone,(user friendly) screen is a decent size Texting is a good feature, and instead of using the function button to change to numbers, while phone is open you have both abilities!!!!

I have has my Samsung for several years, very durable. My daughter however has the same phone and has problems charging the battery, it appears to be a problem with the phone and not the battery beacuse her battery charges fine in my phone.

I am really glad I updated to this phone. It has the slide up with the keyboard for texting and it is really awesome. It is impossible not to text in this day and age and with this keyboard it makes it nice.

I like the slide out QWERTY keypad. Don't like the browser for internet (thru Sprint) - very slow and can't access secure websites. As soon as I can get an "upgrade" to my phone, I think I'll get the exclaim.

It's a great phone and better than the Rumor. I think the only thing that I see that hasn't been mentioned is that it drains the battery quickly.Have dropped it a few times and still hasn't broken. The Samsung Rant feels good and is slim enough not to be too bulky. I also noticed that it isn't quite like a smartphone but can do tasks on a smaller scale - like internet surfing (although it loads slowly).Also you should have at least the unlimited data plan since the phone sends/receives data on its own unless you lock the data. If you don't notice it right away, you could incur expensive charges due to over-usage.

It's a great phone if you don't want to go all the way for a smart phone. It's capabilities are nice for texting and some usage for email/net. This phone has a great feel while using the qwerty keyboard. Great phone all around if texting is your thing. However, if you tend to use your Internet/email more than go with a smart phone instead. Some issues that I've seen while using this phone has been:Battery doesn't last more than a day without chargingBrowser sometimes crashes when using InternetIt (screen, applications, and browser depending what you were doing at the time) freezes for a second every once in a while.Sometimes it doesn't unlock and instead of pressing * and back, you need to press * and "end".Difficulties using a 3-rd party ringtone provider, had troubles downloading them.History for calls are short and doesn't save past more than a few entriesA few things that I loved were:Great size and weightKeyboard slides out easilySize of screenKeyboard size and phone pad are not too tiny for usageLots of little settings/tool settings that were neatTons of room for many contactsIs a camcorder and camera and has good resolution for being a phone cam

this samsung rant phone is a good phone its long lasting and i would recommend this phone for people who mainly call or text, you can browse the internet send pic and videos, you can also recieve pics and video. PROS this phone is a texting phone is has the normal keeypad and when you push the side out a keyboard comes out for faster typing. the key pad is great and soft so they work very well long lasting it last at least a year if you take care of it i should last longer if you are with sprint this phone has sprint tv which is a great free app built into your phone long battery life CONS this is not a phone that has alot of apps so if ur someone who mainy download apps and play games this phone is not for that. the app cost money and there not that cheap for those girls and or guys who take alot of pictures you only have about have a gig of storage in the phone if you want more you have to buy a micro sd from best buy for those who text very very very much your keypad might start to mess up after a year butt dailing occurs sometime if you dont lock your phone i advice not to download unkown or untrusted apps it will glitch your phone summary parents this is a great phone to igve your kids for thier first phone the price is cheap but long lasting

The Samsung Rant looks great.  The flip down keyboard is really easy to use and everything is logically laid out.  As a cell phone, it has all the features I want.  Basically, I need the ability to go on speakerphone (a requirement for ever being on hold) and a way to set custom rings per user.  I have no complaints whatsoever about the phone/texting part. Internet browsing is basically unusable but I assume this is down to Sprint and not the phone.  Everything is routed through Sprint proxy servers so you can only really view pages that they have cached.  Everything else takes so long that you want to give up. The only flaw I've found is that sometimes I cannot turn the keylock off.  The only way around it is to power down and then power up again.  It's a bit of a drag but not the end of the world. I've found Samsung products to be of high quality  in the past so I nearly always buy them now.  I'm yet to be disappointed
