I've now had this phone for the sprint network for, about, 5 months... Overall, it's a great phone, especially for a beginner BBerry user like myself. I've had a bit of difficulty with the network, being unable to connect with Google Voice, or Google Sync. I have a feeling that that's because of the 8330 version is an older phone, course, you can't really complain much when the phone was free.

Besides the Google Voice/Sync issues, I've found it really useful, especially for work related emails, and, since I work at night, the overall bandwidth isn't that bad.

I'd have to say I was glad to get this phone for myself, but was happy I chose to get the Tour for my wife... she would have gone crazy with some of the issues that I have.
