Samsung Ace SPH-i325 (Sprint)

Pros: Slim design

Cons: Call quality could be better

Summary: I have owned a few smartphone/pocket PC & BB and I would have to say this is the best one so far. I had the blackberry curve and 8830 but could not deal with the way the email folders were set up and the fact the it took too many steps to do one thing with the BB.
I love the simplicity of the smartphone os.
I thought it would be hard to get used to a non touch screen since I had used a PPC-6700 for a few years but I really love this phone.

It feels good in the hand and during a phone call it feels like an actual cell phone.
The call quality could be a little better but it is no worse than most cell phones out there. The ear piece volume is plenty loud if you are using it in public or other loud areas. I don't use the speaker phone so I can't comment on that.

I have heard some people including CNET state this has sluggish performance but if you just take the time to close applications with the task manager occasionally you don't run into that problem.
Overall I would recommend this phone to anyone looking to upgrade their smartphone or to somebody as their fist smartphone.

Battery life has been decent but I have not tested the limits. I charge my phones every night and by bedtime I still have at least 1/2 -3/4 after a full day of email and phone use. I don't text.
