I'm on My 8th sch-3500 in two years. thank god I bought the 3.00 replacement plan. There is a known manufacturing defect in the phone that causes the wire in the hinge to crimp, and short out the earpiece. I live on my cellphone, and I seem to wear then out pretty quick. My parents are on their third, and to me, that's just unacceptable. Sprint finally agreed that there was a defect, and they're shipping me the follow up to the 3500... (I don't know the model, but it looks like a blue 3500) If you have had the same problem, go to a Sprint PCS store, and speak to a manager about the Plan B replacement. The only catch is that you have to be a subscriber to the lockton insurance they offer. but they will replace your phone with the newer model.

The voice dial is cool, the earpiece is a bit soft, could use a bit more volume. The body of the phone scratches very easily, and the batteries build up memory very quickly. I have purchased two additional batteries brand new, and all three barely last me through the day now!

I love the phone when it works, but all in all, if you're a worker bee who needs a somewhat durable phone, I'd steer clear of this one. The Motorola Clamshell is the best bet as far as durability.

if you aren't too hard on phones, then if you like this one, getit... just treat it with kid gloves.
