Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)When my fiance and I started with SprintPCS, we both chose Sanyo vision phones. This was in July of 2003. I chose the SCP5300 for it's "manlier" look and she chose the SCP8100. Both of these phones have performed so incredibly well that I almost feel I am ripping SprintPCS off. Both models boast exceptional service at both my house (Hinsdale, IL) and my work (Wheaton, IL). The phones have an incredible amount of memory space, and both offer more features than any other phone on the market (and I can honestly say this after months of research). The SCP8100 has one advantage over the SCP5300 in that it allows you to send a recorded message to another vision phone. This is a fun feature, but the 5300 includes a much more attractive menu, better picture quality, a flash and zoom.
The phone is AMAZINGLY durable, and even after being dropped several times on the driveway, it shows no sign of a scratch. The screen is also impressive - it is 1/2" or so larger than the 8100's, and avoids dust or face-scratches.
I would recommend the 5300 for those who are willing to spend more money. I recieved a discount that brought the price of the phone down to $129. My fiance's discount brought the price of her phone down to $99. The 5300, with the improved camera and little extra features here and there, is WELL WORTH the extra $30.
SprintPCS, as a service, has been the root of many complaints before. I, personally, have had few problems with the service. The fees are priced better than the other leading phone services, and the vision internet is free (with 2000 or more minutes). Vision is amazing - like owning a laptop, not a phone... I find that I can spend hours playing around while on the train, or at lunch. SprintPCS is a PCS service, so the clarity of the calls is superior to all analog services, and I have never experienced a dropped call, although other people on this board apparently have.
There is one thing about SprintPCS that I will complain about, though. The customer service SUCKS. I called customer service numerous times to ask about special deals, and the ignorance is incredible. I had to repeat my long story to almost 5 people, and I found that each of them had someone else to transfer me to, no matter what. Sprint really needs to clean up their act in this aspect - It's HELL to make a call to them, but, hey... if it keeps angry customers from calling...
Anyway, I HIGHLY recommend this phone in all it's goodness. In my opinion, it is the top of the ladder when it comes to the cell phone selection today.
