Sanyo 6600 "Katana" in the wild

by Chris Ziegler, posted Jun 29th 2006 at 12:59PM

Sprint customers looking for a little more color (and a little less Samsung) than the A900 provides should be happy to know that Sanyo's upcoming 6600 -- you may know it as the Katana -- is looking as hot in the wild as it did in the promo shots. This is apparently a dummy model we're seeing here, but fear not: if you require a RAZR clone, don't mind passing on EV-DO, and you can tolerate the nearly useless VGA shooter, all signs point to the real thing dropping in the next handful of weeks. Check the break for shots of the 6600 frolicking free of its pre-release confines.

[Thanks, Nan]

Ha... Blue cuff = RadioShack. I just played with this same dummy yesterday at our monthly meeting. I should have taken a picture so I could be on engadget...

The "polar white" is also a RadioShack exclusive.

I saw this phone when the Sanyo Rep stopped by about a month ago. I kinda like it - It's pretty thin, had the patented solid Sanyo hinge and the QVGA screen was great. It doesn't hold a candle to my A900 (mainly because it lacks EV-DO - something I have grown very fond of and can never again own a phone without it) but for the price, it stacks up against the RAZR very well.

On paper, anyway. The RAZR is still a top seller with deets inferior to this. Sprint customers now have two choices if they want a "razr."
