I am strongly considering the Cricket MSGM8, and would like to hear what folks who've got it think of it. There's a review of it on CNET, but no user opinions. I'm esp. interested in hearing about the call quality.
 
the best keyboard i've ever used, i love the keyboard! call quality is good, lil robotic sounding with the volume turned all the way up, but didn't bother me. one weird thing about it, is if you want to send a message thats shorter than about 5 characters, like "hi", or "hello", then your phone won't register that it sent it, it will say, message trouble sending, try again? but in reality, it actually does send lol this gets confusing if your in a spotty service area, and your not sure if it sent anyways, and then the person gets mad at you for sending the message 5 times lol

otherwise, i love the phone! the battery lasts about 1 1/2 day with very heavy use! lol camera isn't good though...
 
Only gripe I've heard about it...it won't pair with another phone via Bluetooth. So no trading ringtones with frienRAB.

Also, doesn't have a sd card slot.

Otherwise, I haven't had any other knocks against it and I've sold a bunch of them.
 
they're made by different manufacturers. msgm8 is made by CalComp...while the TXTM8 is made by PCD. as for OS, they look similar but might actually be variations of the standard cricket OS
