Need a Sprint phone...

Alright, I'm going to take advantage of Sprint's SERO offer, so I'm on the lookout for a Sprint phone that is not a PDA/Phone combo.

I'm looking to spend as little as possible, but the phone must have:

- Bluetooth
- Speakerphone
- Power Vision
- OK camera (Best I can get for the money)

Right now, it looks like the Razr or A900M are strong contenders.

Which is better, or what other phones may fit the bill (and do the job better).

Thanks in advance.

I didn't think you could get a RAZR for Sprint.

I've had the a900 for a little while, its been great. I'm actually selling it right now, let me know if you want it.

Yeah, they have a V3m for Sprint now...it's Sprint TV/Power Vision enabled. Nice advantage it has over the A900M is the MicroSD expandability capability.

Another phone you might want to look into is the LG Fusic.

It has the following:

-MicroSD slot
-Bluetooth
-1.3 MP camera
-Speakerphone
-MP3 Player
-FM transmitter to broadcast from phone

It looks a little weird though. BTW the Samsung A900 is known to have a weak battery.

Yep, its not the greatest... but if you can charge it at night it would take a lot of talking to run it out in the course of a day. I've never had a problem with it. My 1 week old w810i isn't much better than my a900 in terms of battery.

They do get worse over time, but if you have insurance you can get a new battery for free whenever you want by going into a Sprint store.

I got the Motorola KRZR a few weeks ago and I'm returning it. The lag is pretty bad, constantly freezing, and bad battery life. Reading around, the Sanyo M1 is supposed to be solid. My prior two phones were Sanyos and wanted to go a different route, sorry I did. The KRZR looks sleek and has a great form factor, but technically, it's a disaster of a phone.
