Silver Sprint PCS Vision Phone w/ Ready Link

If you are looking for a phone that does not have a camera, and is easy to use and gets good reception, this is it. Sanyo makes the best phones in the Sprint line as far as reception is concerned. Much better than Samsungs. The sound is very loud and clear. I also dropped this phone in my cats water bowl, but after drying it on my dashboard in the sun for a day, it still works fine 3 months later.

This phone works almost anywhere any other phone will work, even in the elevator where I work. The battery consumption is low. The interface is easy to use, as is the memo-recording feature. It is small, compact, and the key guard allows you to carry it in your pocket without activating any buttons whatsoever. It will occasionally make a beep when you hit a button if you don't "silence all". To sum up:

The main advantages are:

1. good reception

2. very loud and clear sound

3. low battery consumption

4. easy user interface

5. speaker phone works well eough to use

The main drawbacks are:

1. Screen is suitable only for text messaging and general offline functions.

2. The side buttons are really easy to hit when you're trying to handle the phone and it starts the memo thing recording.

3. The LCD sub panel on the outside of the phone is too small and the number scrolls so slowly that if a number that is not in your phone book calls you, half of it is scrolled off by the time you can get the phone out of your pocket.

That's about it.

This is the best cellphone I have ever owned. The Speakerphone works great. I love being able to dial without opening the phone. The ability to turn on or off the guard for the side keys is fine.

I guess the only gripe I have is that the radio service is incompatible with Nextel and now that the two have merged one would expect it to improve. Since my buddy with Nextel radio (but not phone) for work just bought a cellphone that pretty much erases that gripe.

Also, the fact that it is not compatible with the Sprint travel navigator options is a bit of a drawback.

However, it works well, has a long battery life.. it is easy to use, and even the headsets from the ninety-nine cent store work with it. It is a great phone and I recently purchased one for my wife. I'm very happy with Sprint and their service.

Buy Silver Sprint PCS Vision Phone w/ Ready Link Now

I got this phone 3 weeks ago in the pink color.

I have to say, that going from Samsung to Sanyo I was a bit apprehensive. But I love this VI-2300. I somewhat miss having a camera function, but really how much do you use a camera on a phone? I have an actual digital camera for that. As for this phone, I like that the ringer is very loud, and it's quite easy to program and use. The speaker works very nice on it also. I leave it on power save otherwise the battery does wear down a lot faster. If it is on power save, I can go for days without having to charge.

I would recommend this phone to anyone who wants a nice looking phone without paying an arm and a leg and that doesn't have a camera on it.

Read Best Reviews of Silver Sprint PCS Vision Phone w/ Ready Link Here

I was looking for an electronic manual and came across this page. After glancing over the reviews I had to respond. This phone is basic and was sold as a basic phone. It is even FREE too so that indicates BASIC.

The battery life is decent even with speaker on. I talk on it (and my other two) for over 2 hours a day with speaker because I am in traffic and hate headsets. I talked to the wife once on a 2 hour commute through the countryside and into the city without the call dropping. I live in a rural area far from a cell tower. I need external antennas with my other phones, but not this one.

So if you are looking for a BASIC phone, this is it. If not, then this isn't it!

Want Silver Sprint PCS Vision Phone w/ Ready Link Discount?

This phone was almost free when I signed up for new Sprint service. It actually ended up that Sprint paid me a penny to get it off thier hands. The only reason I chose it was because it was the only phone they had in stock with Ready-Link capabilities. I had it for about 5 weeks and I took it back yesterday and traded it for a Samsung that I had to pay $199 for, but it was worth it. In that 5 weeks, my "signal faded" randomly and dropped most of my calls with 5 full bars of signal. About 70% of my incomming calls would be routed straight to voicemail with no ringing on my end or the callers. Talk time was 20-40 minutes after charging for 8-10 hours every night, and the phone would heat up and burn my face after about 20 minutes. If I moved it while I was talking just a tiny bit, I couldn't hear anything and had to wiggle it around a few minutes to get it just right again. The speakerphone option will drain a fully charged battery in less than 10 minutes. This phone is listed for $169, but Sprint will give it to you FREE so that has to reveal a little something of the quality and value.
