A champ!.......2005-12-09

This phone has been great. I have carried it with me everywhere I go for the last 2 1/2 years, and it has held up wonderfully. I have never had any mechanical problems, and aside from some minor cosmetic scratches from normal wear and tear this phone still looks and works just as great as it did when I bought it. I believe this was the first camera phone on the market to have both a flash and a zoom lens, and even today it takes better pictures than a lot of the new ones they are coming out with. The Internet capability was also very groundbreaking for me, and it was so convenient to be able to do things like check movie times at local theaters with the push of a fwe buttons. I'm getting to the point where I am about to upgrade, but really only for the purpose of getting a phone with camcorder and LiveMedia capability. I have had a couple of problems with the Sprint service over the years, which I think is somewhat unavoidable in this day and age, but they have always been willing to work with me and do what they could to resolve the issue. Bottom line, this phone has served me well and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good reliable camera phone.

Just looking for an upgrade.......2005-04-06

When i first bought this phone 2 years ago, i fell in love! It has a camera w/ a flash, and took better pictures than most of the other phones out there at the time.

The phone is durable and came with two batteries, one extended. Like i said, i have had this phone for 2+ years and its not falling apart! I have had no dropped calls, but the internet speed is kinda slow for my liking. The only real problem i have with the phone is that its not SMS compatible. I can not receive texts directly to the phone, but need to log onto through the internet to read and send (short mail) messages. I wouldnt recommend this phone if you are looking for text messaging battles with your friends. Lots of times the network would have problems, and you wouldnt be able to send and receive. Of course, that is Sprint's fault and not the phone itself!

Other than that, Sprint is a reliable wireless provider, and whenever i do have a problem, they are always patient with me!

Bad hinge.......2005-01-14

The flip phone hinges froze up and then one side at a time broke the plastic case and came apart until it broke the display cable. Takes the special y driver to replace the case and I can't find a Cell Phone store to replace the case.
Also the data cable/charging port failed.

The best out of me cellphone history.......2004-06-02

When I was a Sprint customer, I was very satisfied with everything this phone had to offer. The phone always kept a decent singal, and the extended battery actually had an extented life unlike others from different manufacturers. After 6 months, I lost it in a shopping mall. Fortunately, I had insurance and Sprint replaced it with a Sanyo 5500. Yeah the 5500 was blue, Readly Link enabled, and had a video camera, but it gave me a whole lot of drama along with Sprint's terrible customer service, which resulted into me cancelling my contract. It is a shame Sprint discontinued this model as opposed to the Sanyp 8100. For those who already have or intend on purchasing this phone, use it until it cannot be use anymore before upgrading to a new model.

This is one great phone.......2004-02-16

I had been an ATT customer for years, but after the last few months of lousy service in my area I began shopping for a new provider. At first I was reluctant to switch from my beloved Motorola phones, but after using the Sanyo 5300 for a few weeks now I am very impressed with what Sanyo has done with this phone. I also have to qualify these next remarks because I understand that cell phone carriers vary in reliability throughout the country, but here in Central Iowa I have had better coverage with Sprint and this phone than with any other phone. I travel to lots of rural and remote areas in the state, and so far I have not lost a signal anywhere-even in areas that my old phone/carrier combination would drop.
