Good Stuff, Two Problems

I love this phone. It was a transition from a Blackberry to Android. I enjoy having the full qwerty keypad. The only issues I have are a small screen and horrible battery life. I have to leave my phone on airplane mode at work most of the day just to have it survive the day.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Lightweight, recycled material
Cons: battery life small, small screen for an android.
I would recommend this to a friend!

First Android and Touch Screen... Awesome!

I was hesitant to leave my BlackBerry and venture into the world of touch screen devices. What I loved so much about the Blackberry was the QWERTY key pad and I had not seen any touch screens that had a key pad that I liked. The Replenish was a fix to my problem. Along with the easy QWERTY key pad it has the really easy to use touch screen. The Android software is amazingly fast and the video quality is really good and almost perfect when using WiFi. I use Google for everything and the phone connects to your account really easily. The camera is pretty good but I think the video camera is even better. The expandable external memory allows you to take a lot of pictures and video, ad your music, and use your phone as a flash drive.
The only down fall I found is that the majority of apps are programmed to save to the phone memory instead of the SD card and because there are a ton of sweet apps it takes up internal memory pretty quick. Other than the internal memory shortage the phone is fun, easy to use and still ready for business. I really can't put it down!
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, android software, qwerty key pad
Cons: not enough internal memory
I would recommend this to a friend!

Okay, well to start off with this is my second replenish and about to be my third, there has to be a recall on this phone or something I didn't have it for a full day before it started acting up, the second day i had it, it started freezing and the screen would go black, so i waited about a week, and took it back to the store they gave me a new one not knowing what was wrong with it and I got a second one and it worked well for about two weeks, know it over heats, freezes, the screen turns black, it has very poor battery life...and restarts as well as resets itself all the time, I cannot stand this phone, it honestly just grinds my gears on how bad of a phone this is, I Will NOT reccomend this phone to anyone !
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, freezes, over heats, restarts itself, resets itself, screen goes black, poor battery life

Great Phone!!

I originally upgraded from my Rant to a Trender. BIG MISTAKE!! I returned my Trender and got the Replenish. This is the phone I should have gotten the first time. The keyboard may be small, buy it is easy to use even with big hands. The screen is a good size for the phone. It fits well in my hands and has a good weight. The battery could last longer, but with the battery saver apps, it does ok. As an entry level droid phone, this thing is just awsome. I can't stop talking about it. I love the android apps that are available. Hands down,, GET THIS PHONE!!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: not all apps work on phone
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not happy with this phone
on August 23, 2011

On the basics, the phone is fine. Usually the phone connection works and the browsing capability is good.
Problems:
1. Multiple times I have received calls and the person will hear me talking and I can't hear them (and the opposite)
2. The phone gets extremely hot
3. There are times the touch screen becomes non-responsive or freezes when I'm using the GPS. The only option is to wait until the phone cools down.
4. The ring tones are limited. I created a ringtone and downloaded to the phone through the browser. It's saved on the phone but there is no way to make it my ringtone. I found a way to do this online but, unfortunately, when I plug the phone into my computer, it says it needs the drivers. Other than charging, there is no indication that the phone is plugged into the computer. According to various sites, a USB icon is supposed to show in the notifications bar. This does not happen. There is, therefore, no way to move a ring tone into the appropriate folder.
5. I was able to add my hotmail and gmail addresses. All other email address types have failed. It keeps telling me it can't connect to the server and I've tried many, many times.

Overall, thumbs down.

Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, gets very hot, quality of phone connection, adding email addresses difficult
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I am running this phone on a Sprint network. I upgraded from a Motorola Q phone which had just as many features except for the touch screen. I am lucky if the phone last 8 hours in standby before haveing to be recharged. I gets hot when I use it, and I have had to replace the battery already (45 days after receiving it)
Cons: no battery life
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
