'The IP-830w is least successful as a basic phone.'

'Even calls made under optimal conditions suffered from reception issues, though the phone showed full signal strength.'

'The Sprint IP-830w is available now for a pricey $599.99 with service.'

'The reduced size of each key pretty much will limit most people to using the keyboard with their thumbs'

'the buttons are tiny, so we often pressed the wrong key'

'QVGA resolution which is now not enough for a high-end phone.'

'The keyboard has white backlighting, which looks somewhat uneven.'
