Small, good reception, no bells?

Hi.

I'm wondering if there is any Sprint phones that don't have all the
hundreds upon hundreds of features today's phones do.

I have a Sanyo SCP-8100 right now; I'm looking for something that has
great reception - sms messaging - etc.

I don't need full featured Media Players, Streaming TV, Built-In-PCs,
four external caller IDs, etc...

I guess something similar would be the famous Motorola Startac.. that
was a phone.. very small and nice.

Thanks

Okay. Simple.

My experience with a 3588i was poor. Traded up to a Sanyo 4920 shortly after
signing up with Sprint. Good reception, easy to use. It has a few bells but
it's not overboard. It includes internal voice dialing capabilities, which
is helpful to me.

Most of the Sprint Sanyos have, reportedly, done very well.

Might I suggest a road trip to your nearest Sprint store?
