This phone is squarely aimed at the segment of Sprint's customers that were attracted to Sprint because of the famously low deposits. Poor credit? Bad credit? NO CREDIT? Sprint charges a lean $150 vs the $400/$1000 of other carriers.

So these folks want a decent phone but are still smarting from ponying up the deposit. Enter Sanyo, maker of low-end Sprint handsets for the past several years. Sanyo phones are ugly, basic, and PERFORM VERY WELL when it comes to sending and receiving calls.

JD Power's annual report proves it time and time again: people love their Sanyo phones. Now, they can get one that still works famously well and is a little stylish to boot. As a cell phone geek/technophile who loves all the complicated and expensive gadgets I see here on Engadget, this phone does not appeal to me (I sprung for the A900).
