It's actually a phone that I'd recommend to anyone who needs a phone with e-mail and 3G capability, but don't need every Blackberry bell-and-whistle. Nah, KC, the Rant doesn’t get very hot at all.

Readers of PhoneNews.com may be able to discuss/hack a way to turn it off, but quite frankly... that's not good enough. A typical user should be able to go to the settings menu and turn off One Click.

Does the Rant heat up where it gets real hot to touch it while talking or charging? Currently I just bought 2 Samsung M300s and I changed mine back to my Treo but my daughter wanted to keep hers. I finally got sprint to take them both back and am looking at the Rant and Rumor. But I just seen the problems with the Rumor. I just dont want to buy 2 more phones to have them also get really hot to touch. Quick question I hope can be answered soon by actula users.

The first thing I wanted to do was shut off the carousel. I do not know to access the debug menu. There is very little info on this that I can find. I had a Samsung M520 for two weeks and really disliked that phone and now have moved to the Lotus under the 30 day Sprint exchange plan. Thanks folks.

I can drag and drop any thing to my phone, themes, ringtones, wallpaper all for free. What I'm looking for a Sprint phone that will allow me to do the same.
