I had an old blackberry model and wanted to BACKTRACK to the regular flip phone but was hesitant because I did not want to lose the smart phone abilities. and WOW!! Sprint PCS surprised me with the best of both worlds. I now have a Blackberry (smartphone) and the flip phone that I wanted. You have a choice of color black (very professional-business-masculine looking) and purple (also professional-business-but feminine) Abilities are great being a blackberry and the apps operate wonderfully in its set up... I absolutely Love it!
