Pros: Stylish, qwerty keypad
Cons: Did not meet expectations, Confusing interface, blurry pictures, alarm clock bugged, poor calendar functions, mp3 player issues
There are numerous bugs with this phone. It looks great and is ok for IM, texting and email.
The locked mode doesn't always unlock with the appropriate key strokes.
The mp3 player doesn't always like files transferred from a PC. If the Rant doesn't like one song, you cannot play any songs until that one is deleted. Good luck figuring out which one (or two) when you transfer 100+ songs.
The imager is 2MP. Most pictures are blurry unless there is good lighting and no movement.
The calendar is limited to around 50 entries. It doesn't always organize appointments by time so a 5PM appointment might be listed above an 11 AM appointment.
If you EVER use the snooze feature on the alarm it will retrigger the snooze alarm EVERY day. The only way to "disable" the everyday snooze is to delete and reenter the alarm.
Having used both, I recommend a Blackberry over the Rant.
