Early peek at Sprint's Samsung M510 and Sanyo 7050

by Sean Cooper, posted Mar 12th 2007 at 5:41PM

Word is that the Samsung M510 and Sanyo 7050 will be in your favorite bricks and mortar Sprint shop in April. That puts them out in the wild one month before the roadmap info we have -- so call it a case of tipsters vs. Sprint, if you will. While device details are thin, neither is expected to blow it out with bells and whistles or break the bank. We do know that the M500's replacement, the M510 is packin' EV-DO -- though word is tethering might be tough as the trick to disable NAI (Network Address Identifier) is missing -- and will rock your pocket in either blue or red. The Sanyo 7050 pushes the Sanyo 7000 off the shelf, and while lovely in its GPS blinkin', mil-spec rugged way, EV-DO is lacking and it mostly seems a case of same old, same old.

Those are some pretty horrifically distorted photos. Look at the hinges on the open shots. And the screen graphics? Looks to me like someone had a little fun in Photoshop.

Agreed - no way the screens are that big...someone has photoshopped that crap on there, and the distortion isn't cool.

However, the blogger is right...the phone to wait on is the Samsung "flipper"...

heh, i have no time for photoshop. the screens are in fact virtual which is why they look weird.

the point of the entry was to show off the body of the phone. UI looks like every other newer samsung on the m510 and looks like junk on the sanyo as usual.

i believe both screens were 176x200, yawn.
