"cheesy piece-o fell apart in less than a year" on
Pros: I bought this phone for the camera with a flash and the lcd on the front of the phone, the extend life battery is also nice
Cons: it seems to have been built very poorly my phone has now broken at one of the hinges which makes it not close right so my battery life is decreasing every day, and as usual sprint offers no helpful customer service, the camera is very slow

Pros: The ready link, the camera,the MP3 player

Summary: I baught this phone today and I have to say that it was worth it.
I just dont like the keys. Its hard to grip them. Anyways it has not been long enough so I cant write that much.
Overall the phone rocks! -
"I LOVE THIS PHONE" on by voxykathi
Pros: Takes nice pictures and great performance all around
Cons: Has zoom but would love even more zoom
Summary: I like this phone so much that when sprint sent me a pm8200 to replace the scp5300 I lost, I sold the 8200 and went online to ebay and found another 5300. Only phone in sprint that is better is the sanyo 4900, but it isn't a camera phone.

"1 month out of warrenty, broken hinge" on by kmi1477
Pros: Great Reception, Good Picture Quality
Cons: Not User Friendly, Broken Hinge
Summary: It would be great if Sprint would stand by their products. On the one hand, this phone has had the best reception ever, on the other hand, it had a flaw/what looked like a hairline scratch next to the hinge, well that is where it broke, not eligible for an upgrade for another 5 months, good news is spouse epoxied the hinge back together, bad news is I am stuck with either buying a new phone for full price or trying to make it last 5 months. I am not hard on phones and my previous phone lasted 3 years. I buy a product and expect it to last not forever but at least 2 years. I am not upgrade crazy but it would have been nice had this phone lasted 18 months. I don't buy a house phone and expect it to last only a year, why should I buy a cell phone and expect it to last only a year?
