>> Hello,

>> I would like to be able to text but the sales rep at the Sprint store 
>> said
>> he was 99% sure that it would not read the incoming text messages.
>> Therefore, I left text messaging blocked on my phone as there is still a
>> additional fee for basic phone plans; However, when experimenting with 
>> the
>> phone, I received a text from Sprint about usage of minutes. The phone 
>> read
>> this message aloud. So does anyone know if it will read incoming text
>> messages from other sources.
>>
>>
>>
>> Also, if you've used this phone is there any drawbacks. There is a short
>> window of time in which I could return it if not satisfied.

>> Thanks,
