Sprints always got deals going on, I think I paid 229 for mine, the only thing I had to do was let them add another line of phone service to my existing account -- if you don't have Sprint then you can get it with one phone and one account activation.
The phone also has ReadyLink -- that radio service like Nextel -- and its not only got a built in camera for still pics, it also takes short videos with sound.
I was looking at phones a couple weeks ago and they didn't have this when I was looking, the guy at the store said they just got these in -- mine's in blue but the come in silver and I think black as well.
