Okay so i really need help on if i should get this phone.

this phone is originally 300 bucks, but this one site says that after a mail in rebate and a new sprint account, you can get it for free.

but has anyone tried it ?
google "free sprint phones" and the first link is the site i'm looking at.

at for those of you who have it :

1) Is texting wierd on this phone? because there are 2 letters per a key..

2) Bluetooth: when you exchange ringtones with cingular users, if the format right for this phone so that the ringtones can be used?
3) is the battery life good?
