hey everyone well today i was super excited because i was going to buy my Blade 900 and i stared calling sprint stores so I can find one it seems that every store is sold out.

They are back-ordered, but I have heard nothing of a second one. We have a few of them in our store, if you are in the northeast.

I just spend an hour writing a large post in between customers just to have it erased when the damn computer erased the cookies and made me log in again, therefore deleting what I had written. 👿 😈

Well...to make a long story short...my gf bought the phone. She has a problem where my picture will come up on the Sub LCD no matter who is calling.

The second problem was when she would send a text message, it would only work if she manually typed the number. If she selected it from the contacts list or recent list, it would not send. This was fixed with a phone software update.

A lot fo people in my area have reported the same problems, but I have not heard much else from the online community, therefore leading me to belie...

Totally agree Capt Farlow. the Blade SUXXXXX in areas of reception, battery life, and overall practicality IMO. The 920 does everything the Blade will AND has external memory, can hold it on your shoulder if your hands are full, and is 50.00 less with activation.
