Good to go

I like the phone but I would probably point out that I am in a small market and that the speed of the phones services is slower than normal and if you can turn the phone off at night I would. Battery life is great even getting 2-3 hours out of it with Pandora radio going all full volume on it. I like the great droid apps and I love the Sprint services for it. I just cnt figure out yet how to get pictures off of my phone to my computer, but I am sure it can be done.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color
Cons: processing speed
I would recommend this to a friend!

Starts out good -- but just wait until replacement after just nine months. :(

This phone was adequate; but after nine months phone started shutting off when battery life was still 80 percent. When you restart battery is then down to 1 percent. This make the phone totally unreliable! And after reviewing the Sprint forum, it seems like this is a recurring issue for many, so it's a manufacturing defect, not an isolated issue. Someone needs to step up and take responsibility. New purchasers beware!
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, manufacturing defect with battery, battery needs replacements after just a few months
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Pretty, but shallow.

I have had numerous issues with my replenish, however the most egregious is in regards to sending/receiving messages. (I've been through three of these, so the likelihood that I received a 'lemon' is quite low.)
Each phone has given me numerous headaches with sending/receiving any type of message; text, picture, or otherwise.
Each phone has given me numerous headaches with sending/receiving any type of message; text, picture, or otherwise.
When I have full bars of coverage, this isn't (usually) an issue, however as soon the service is slightly less than perfect, I have received error messages nearly every time I try to send a text message (and end up having to send the message more than once). BUT...the message sometimes sends on the first try (because I am told by whomever I am contacting that the message was sent multiple times). The issue with the random, yet consistent error messages, is that about 40% of the time, the message does not send...and there is no difference in the error message. Which means that even if I know I will probably be sending the same message twice (or 3 or 4 times...) I still have to resend the message because there is a high enough chance the message did not send.
Each replenish I have had has also been prone to freezing. I do not run many extra apps on my phone. I have what comes standard, along with fewer than 10 additional apps.
Overall, I am very displeased with the phone. It looks great and I really appreciate the physical keypad, however after the history of performance problems I have had, I will not only never recommend the phone to anyone,I will actively recommend against it.
And so I am left (im)patiently waiting until I can get rid of the replenish and have a phone that will actually work correctly, consistently, and effectively.
Pros: aesthetically pleasing
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, prone to bugs
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

not enough storage space

I have a 8GB SD card in my phone, and i can still only have one application at a time. I intern at a company for their social media team and it is very incontinent needing to bring a laptop everyday to use these social media sites. If i had more storage it would be an excellent phone. I have been using this phone for about 2 years now and this is the only problem i have had with it.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, battery life
Cons: small storage space
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Expertise:Intermediate
I HAVE NEVER BEEN THE ONE TO TRY TO KEEP UP WITH ALL THE NEW GADGETS THAT HIT THE MARKET. ESPECIALLY WHEN IT CAME TO CELL PHONES. IF I WAS ABLE TO MAKE AND TAKE A CALL, THAT'S ALL I NEEDED. I MUST SAY, I AM GLAD TO HAVE A SMARTPHONE NOW AND MORE THAN GLAD THAT THE SAMSUNG REPLENISH WAS MY FIRST.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: Not high def
I would recommend this to a friend!
