The unit's 2-megapixel camera can record video, but it lacks a flash. When I used it in a dimly lit room, I found the results acceptable, though unimpressive.

Along the phone's left edge are a standard headphone jack and a volume rocker button. Audio quality from the built-in earpiece was good, even in a noisy public setting. On the right, the phone holds a microSD Card slot, a micro USB port, and a dedicated camera button. A nice touch: At the upper right is a loop for attaching a hand strap.

Unfortunately, the Reclaim is thin on extras. If you want to use micro USB, or a hand strap or a wired headset, you'll have to bring your own.

The Reclaim's Web browser sometimes stalled; but given enough time, it rendered most Web pages adequately. The e-mail client, which is easy to configure for major services such as Yahoo and Gmail, pulled down e-mail quickly over .

The Reclaim runs a Java-based operating system and uses Sprint's One-Click interface. It also supports Web access to Microsoft Exchange servers, and has a wizard for configuring corporate e-mail. Leisure-time features include a digital music/video player and links to Sprint TV, Sprint Music, Sprint Radio, and Sprint Movies. Also on-board is Sprint Navigation, which provides turn-by-turn navigation with voice commands.
