Sanyo makes solid phones while Kyocera phones are garbage. This will be a sad, sad outcome for Sanyo.

One can only hope they put the Sanyo staff in charge. But know how these buyouts work, I can only assume the worst will happen.
This makes me sad on the insides. I'm sure the Sprint bigwigs probably feel somewhat the same.

Actually, Kyocera makes some pretty decent phones. http://www.au.kddi.com/seihin/kinobetsu/seihin/w44k/index.html and http://www.au.kddi.com/seihin/kinobetsu/seihin/w51k/index.html for the gadget freaks, and http://www.au.kddi.com/seihin/kinobetsu/seihin/a101k/index.html for the people that keep complaining about phones doing too much.
