LG's have a legendary reputation based on two handsets: the VX600 and VX8000 for Verizon. Both are excellent phones in every category and both were popular choices. My friend still has his VX6000 from three years ago and refuses to upgrade.
Very few LGs otherwise are any good. The "V", the VX9800, seems to have developed a similar cult-like following, but just about every other LG is crap. Remember the VX6100? Complete piece of garbage. PM325 on Sprint? Horrible. LG seems to fluctuate between greatness and negligent ineptitude.
Sanyo's first-place finish shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who uses Sprint. They allegedly have the best reception and voice quality of any Sprint handset. I owned the Sanyo 8300 for about four months and I tend to agree with all the hype - it wasn't a beautiful phone, but it was a great phone. I think Sanyo has placed first in the JD Power survey a few years in a row. Although, looking at the Katana... that could all change very soon.
