The 3.88-ounce MM-535 is a large but comfortable slider phone with a big screen and flat, well-spaced keys. The 2-inch 176 by-220 color screen is bright enough to see outdoors, and its ringing is loud and clear. This phone’s greatest strength is its 1.3MP camera, which takes sharp, clear, well-balanced shots. Images are free of the color noise and halo effects that plague so many camera phones. Low-light performance was also very good, with fewer details. A rudimentary MP3 player is also on board and plays songs off the mini-SD card. It is a basic phone music player, and like most Sprint phones, the MM-535 has a standard WAP browser.
