    The 2255 had display issues. Other than that, we had no problems with our
    2255s. I love my 2325 (Verizon's version of the 2345). I have a 3035 too,
    but it suffered from design and software issues.

    I *beg* to differ. Motorola and Kyocera are better at providing phones
    that actually hold signals than most other companies I've bought from.

    I don't know from all of those models, but in the four years I've been
    with Sprint, I've only ever had two phones: a Sanyo 4000, and my
    current Kyocera 6035. Both were reliable as all get out, though both
    of them eventually died at one point (I replaced the 4000 with the
    6035, and my original 6035 with another 6035 last year). Until I can
    replace it with something better, the 6035 is a cold dead hands
    product for me. The closest thing that Sprint has to it - the i500 -
    doesn't match it enough for me to pay so much for it to replace the
    6035. Not to mention the i500 not being close, feature-to-feature,
    with the 7135.

    Compared to the Sanyo I and my family have had, no; but compared to
    other phones they've dealt with in the past? No contest; the 6035 has
    stood the test of time for me.

    Does the 6035 do Vision? Mine has been dead for a while now, and I
    have no clue whether I should bother fixing it.

    A couple of years ago, I signed up for SPCS service based on their
    service map which a salesperson showed me, which showed a tower three
    blocks away from where I live. It took me a while to activate the
    phone (it was during a Mothers Day promotion that I bought it, and
    didn't need it for a few weeks), but when I did, the service was
    crappy. Since I was past my 30 days, I couldn't return the phone and
    cancel my service. I went back to the store I bought the phone from
    and was told it was a known problem, and that the tower would come
    online "any day now" and that I could still use the phone in roaming
    mode. That wasn't good enough, I called SPCS customer service, and
    Sprint gave me enough roaming minutes to cover my usage (by then I had
    started to use the phone) for a few months. By then the tower had
    indeed come online and my service was flawless.

    By the way, parenthetically, I have since moved to Long Island where
    the major service provider is Verizon. I get a signal here where a
    lot of people I know who have Verizon can't (like inside theaters, I'm
    a technical theater person).

    take care,
    Paul

    Perhaps it would be more correct to say that verizon is one of the
    five major service providers.
