Samsung Rant M540 Red for Sprint
The Samsung Rant M540 for Sprint has a following of its own, but it does resemble the LG Rumor, according to users – they are shaped similar, particularly because they are designed to be heavy text messaging cell phones. Hence, the similarity in form and shape. Like most featured text-messaging phones, the Rant comes outfitted with a horizontal slide-out QWERTY keyboard that is worth raving about. Essentially, this high end makes emails a breeze, not to mention the ease in which it offers high-speed texting.
More than the keypad features, the Samsung Rant has broader applications in that it is loaded with multimedia functions. Some of this functionality includes a 2-MP camera, Sprint Music & TV and expandable memory. Both users and analysts agree that the Samsung Rant M540 for Sprint is not just an ideal ‘text and talk’ cell phone, but part of its appeal stems from the fact that it is highly customizable.

Product Description
Highlights
With advanced features like GPS Services, Bluetooth Wireless, QWERTY Keyboard, PC Synchronization, and Text to Speech, the Samsung Rant has lots to offer in terms of broad multifunctional features. The GPS support is Location-Based GPS Services that kicks in navigational tools on the Samsung, so that you know where you’re headed when you drive.
The Bluetooth Technology is just as important because it lets you download and share music, video files, etc. wirelessly – that means you don’t have to hook up to a bulky cable. And with PC Synchronization to top it all of, your management of files – whether its music or email attachments down to organizing your schedule via a calendar on your Rant – becomes a whole lot easier. Cutting down redundancies by synch’ing with your PC saves you time, which means your phone and PC stay more productive and efficient. The Text to Speech functionality is excellent, especially if you’re going to be editing your office documents with your Rant.
You can also customize the home screen on the phone so you can access your favorite applications with just one click. The QWERTY slide style is great for fast and accurate messaging and you can browse the Web at near-Broadband speeds.
Entertainment Options
The MP3 Player is the first line of entertainment on the Samsung Rant; this music player can play MP3 plus other format synched with your PC. The Polyphonic Ringtones are a nice feature to have and offer a pleasant sounding ringtone with 32 chords. You can download more if you like as well. You can also come up with your own custom made ringtones as well. Moreover, MP3 Ringtones are also supported along with WMA Files.
Ringer Profiles are a good way to store your favorite ringtones and the Picture Caller ID makes it a whole lot easier to identify your caller. The Games on the Samsung Rant are downloadable Brew Titles. With Customizable Graphics that are also downloadable, you can’t go wrong with display features on the Rant.
As far as other highlights go, the Built-in Music Player is excellent since it lets you enjoy music that is loaded into a PC via a USB cable. And if you’re into TV, you can watch TV on a featured plan on this great big, crisp colored handset.
Digital Camera
The digital camera on the M540 is worth mentioning since it has 2.0 Megapixel Resolution, which is pretty nice compared to the VGA or 1 Megapixel camera phones that are available in the starting range for cell phone cameras. More than that, the Self-Timer, Editing Tools and White Balance give you some leeway in terms of making your photos look even better and more professional. The Self-Timer comes in handy if you want to make sure that you’re in the photo as well. Additionally, the camera is also outfitted with Video Capture / Camcorder. Amazingly, you can take all the video you want and the length of the video is limited only by the available memory on your Expandable Memory Card
Messaging Features
The Messaging Features are also a highlighted segment on the Rant with Mobile Web Browsing. It has a Web Browser Built-in, and offers Broadband Surfing with a Sprint PCS Vision Add-on Plan Feature. The Multimedia Messaging enables you to take and receive photo and video Messages. These are great for sending to your family and friends so you can stay in touch pictorially. The Text Messaging (SMS) feature is pretty much self-explanatory and you can Send and Receive SMS Text Messages on any Sprint Messaging Add-on Rate Plan Feature. The Email Client offers POP3 Support so you can access your email on your PC’s Windows emails applications like Outlook Express. And the Wireless Sync is enabled with Sprint PCS Vision Add-On Plan Feature. You have a number of IMs to choose from including AOL, Yahoo, or MSN Instant Messages that works on any Sprint Messaging Add-on Plan Feature.
Core Features
As far as core features go, this phone has just about all the usual features of an average cell phone and then some. The Alarm, Calendar, Vibrate, and To-Do-List are a given, while the phone supports both English and Spanish. The QWERTY slider is great to have for your typing requirements and the color display is also something that deserves mention – with 2.1" LCD, a resolution of 176 x 220 Pixels, and more than 262,000 colors.
The Speakerphone comes in handy for taking calls in a group with friends or family. This can also save you on money on international calls as well, because several people can speak at the same time through the speakerphone. The Voice Memo allows for up to 100 entries and they are about a minute each. The Battery is Lithium Ion and it should give you the kind of extended life that a Smartphone like the Rant requires.
