More importantly, the Rant adds along the new Sprint One Click user interface, which utilizes easily accessible shortcuts to provide the user with instance access to all 14 available applications on the phone. Otherwise, both models remain fairly similar in their functions: video recording/streaming, FM radio, Java games, and Bluetooth wireless technology.
