Best of both worldsBy Slice0226
Android 2.2.2
Blackberry style keyboard
-ECO FRIENDLY NO $10 premium data (a plus because I'm a college student)
-WiFi
-Battery life is WAY better that many smartphones.
-Very Sold feel. I like how it holds in my hand.
The case on the back scratches easily. I think it's my fault because my keys were in my pocket for a short trip to the store.
-Overall, it's made for just the average user. The screen is a decent size (how much do you really need?)
-Fits nicely in your pocket. I don't need a brick!
-Hasn't freezed yet :)
-Excited for the solar charger (sold separately on Sprint.com)
-It takes a couple of days to get used to the keyboard.Don't get it if you have big fingers. The Vibrate is a little weak, I think they designed it for notifications instead of the older (VVVVVVVVVVVV ), oh well.
-No flash support (I can live without, it can still Youtube)
I love it! Being modernly eco friendly and up to date, this phone is sweet. It's very dependable with the battery life if you know how to use Android properly. I definately recc. to a friend. In fact my brother is going to buy one.
(My opinion below)
Overall: 4.4/5
Performance:4/5
Battery Life:3.9/5
Look and Feel:4/5
++++++EDIT++++++++++ First time users will notice that the battery takes forever to charge. After about a week, it will charge within an hour to an hour+1/2.
Using JuiceDefender and Advanced Task Killer (2 free apps) has greatly improved my experience. There's plenty of memory to go round as long as your not running a ton of apps.

If vibrate mode is important, make sure you try before you buyBy Digger
I'd been anxiously awaiting the launch of the Replenish, and picked one up the day it launched. Sprint's waiving of the $10/mo premium data fee was a major factor in the decision to buy this phone.
Over all I'm pretty pleased with the phone, but we purchased it for my wife, and she likes to keep her phone on vibrate. The phone we received has one of the weakest vibrate of any phone I've seen. With the phone lying on a hard wood table you can't hear it buzz from more than a couple of feet away. In a belt pouch it is impossible to hear or feel the phone vibrate. A comparison to the display model at the local Sprint store showed little discernable difference between the strength of the vibration between the phones. Sprint said there wasn't anything they could do to increase the strength of the vibration, which I expected; I had just been hopeful that it might have just been this particular instrument.
My only other issue was trying to figure out how to get to symbols that aren't displayed on the dedicated keyboard. I didn't find it in the manual or online, but a shift-Fn-Space key combination brings up a small window with 18 symbols, including the following: []{}\|<>^~%`
I still don't know whether the weak vibrate is going to be a deal killer for my wife. If it is, we may end up going back to her old phone rather than switch to a different phone and have to pay the extra $$ each month for the premium data plan.
Pros: $10/mo premium data plan waived (currently). Dedicated keyboard. Decent feel to the phone.
Cons: Very weak vibrate. Smaller display than most current Android phones.
If this phone was intended for me I'd probably give it 4 stars, for the wife it's more like a 2.5 stars.
If vibrate mode is important to you make sure you try it out. Carrying the phone in the pocket of a tight pair of jeans is about the only way I could see being able to have our phone on vibrate mode and not miss most incoming calls.

Powerful EnoughBy Shoop231
I bought this phone as an upgrade from a Samsung Rant from 2008, and I am happy with it. It isn't the most powerful android out there, but it is powerful enough. The price was great at $50 and $10 off my bill each month. It was easy on my pocket and the Earth.
