Sprint has yet to make any official mention of this phone's existence, but we've seen
just about enough evidence to convince ourselves that the Katana DLX is the real deal. Positioned as a slightly higher-end rendition of the
Katana II, the DLX mercifully adds the EV-DO data that both the II and the original Katana are sorely lacking. How do we know? Well, there's the FCC filing of course, but Sanyo has now seemingly admitted that the Katana DLX is the real deal and promises a near-term launch (think July) on Sprint. Other features include a microSD slot, 1.3 megapixel camera, and Bluetooth with A2DP, making this one a solid midrange offering if flips (or Sanyos) are your thing. Check it in "Platinum Ice," "Pink Satin," and "Champagne" -- pictured in that order -- when it hits shelves.
Update: It's on Sprint's site, all official-like. $129.99 on contract after rebates.

Christian F @ Jul 15th 2007 7:38PM
What makes it 130$, man you dumb... read what is says... a 1.3 megapixel cam, an mp3 player, and loads of other things... if your asking your self that ask why the orginal razr which had bluetooth and a vga cam (no 3g) cost 500?
