I never thought I'd give up my Touchpoint phone, but I finally found a phone that can replace it!

The SCP-4500 is attractive-looking and lightweight, yet seemingly solid. Apparently, the lack of size and weight works in its favor (with me) because I've dropped it 3-4 times and it's still intact. Fits in my pants pockets just fine and I rarely remember it's there until it rings.

Features abound on this phone:
Three "Environment" settings
*Normal(ringer and backlight)
*Meeting(vibrate/no backlight)
*Silent(you get the picture)
Web & Text messaging
Speakerphone (probably the best one I've seen so far!!)
Voice command dialing
Web browser
Multiple ringer types

For the most part, this phone can be operated hands-free other than the initial touch of the speakerphone button. The voice command feature even works pretty well when you have the speakerphone turned on! There's also a wireless kit ($50) for this phone which allows your SCP-4500 to act as a wireless modem for your laptop. I've found this handy many times while sitting in an airport. (Oh, and I can't say enough about the battery life on this phone. I've actually gone an entire week without charging the phone and it's on 24X7!).

All in all, this is now the phone to get if you're using the SprintPCS digital network. Lots of features, not too big, fairly lightweight, and nice add-ons make it a very attractive buy.
