You get a huge assortment of messaging options. Threaded text messaging strings related texts together to preserve the conversational flow. The T9 Predictive Text functionality gets to know your style, so words fill in without typing every letter. When you need to send a common response, choose from pre-set messages, symbols, and emoticons to save tons of time.

With the 1.3-megapixel camera, be ready to capture and share a spontaneous memory. You can even get close-up details with the 4x digital zoom. Adjust for brightness and white balance to fine-tune your photos. NightShot mode gives you freedom to shoot in low-light settings. If you want to be in the shot, use the 5- and 10-second self-timer. Upload your photos easily to Sprint Picture Mail and other online sites. You can easily also assign photos to specific contacts so their picture shows up when they call.

Photos, web pages, games, and applications are crisp and clear, thanks to the internal 2.4-inch display with 65K color depth. The intuitive interface makes all your functions smooth and on track. Customize your menu icons in a list, or in a grid. A glance at the icon bar monitors signal strength, Bluetooth status, battery life, missed calls, and more. Caller I.D. lets you know who’s calling before you answer, and add specific ringtones to select contacts.

The display can be adjusted for brightness and font size, or you can add a clock and calendar to the screen. Your M370 can even be your alarm clock with adjustable snooze intervals. And if you don’t have a note pad, just type names, directions, etc., by typing them in the memo pad, or recording voice memos up to a minute each.

Other features include Bluetooth for hands-free devices, access to downloadable Java-based apps, bi-lingual support (English and Spanish), and up to 5.4 hours of talk time.

Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA), also known as CMAS, is a part of a national alerting system called IPAWS (Integrated Public Alert and Warning System) that enables emergency management officials to rapidly disseminate the warnings and safety information via text alerts to wireless phones based on the phones’ geographic location. The Federal Emergency Management Agency or FEMA is responsible for receiving the alerting information and forwarding the alerts to participating wireless carriers such as Sprint. Such alerts may come from the President of the United States; the National Weather Service, state or county public safety officials. This system is integrated into the same national alerting services that serve television and radio today.
