Kyocera DuraMax (Sprint)

Pros: It's a tank. It's a phone, and functions perfectly as a phone-I've had great calls even in the middle of Wyoming and very rural areas. It has a simple menu that does not require a huge manual for instructions.

Cons: It's not a smart phone. It will never break-so i wont get to shop every year for the latest cutesy phone to hit the market. It's not pretty-so I'm really embarrassed while texting with my mocha latte.

Summary: Im a truck driver-coast to coast-I needed a phone-not a computer I have a laptop. I'm sick of having to accept what the market people perceive as the market, because children want to watch videos on their phones.I have no idea what the negative comments on this phone are about-IT"S A PHONE! If they wanted a smart phone they should have bought one. This little tank of a phone was exactly what i wanted. A PHONE-not a cute little pink polka dot keyboard to text the kiddies. I needed a phone that had reception and function. I am more than happy with my purchase.

oh p.s. YOU CAN TRANSFER YOUR CONTACTS! I transferred from a Sanyo to a Nextel-took that back because of no roaming-then transferred again to the Duramax. Maybe the people with the negative comments here should read their manuals-or buy what they wanted? I would do a free testimonial on this phone for Sprint.
