Sprint's Sanyo Katana LX gets the FCC rundown

That
rumored Katana II replacement, the creatively-named Katana LX, is looking more real than ever now that the FCC's labs have put it through the ringer. If the remainder of the rumor ends up checking out, the LX ended up passing the federal checkpoint just in the nick of time en route to an April launch. One thing that concerns us just a tad is that we're having a hard time finding an external display or a camera, though we imagine it's possible that one or both are crammed into that black area near the hinge; if not, this bad boy's going to make a pretty miserable Katana II successor since the older model carried both features. Needless to say, EV-DO isn't in the cards either way.

from the pictures you posted there, it looks like that one face could be the back, and the little square at the top would be the button to release the battery cover.

Let's hope it's good. My current Katana is the suckiest phone I've ever seen.

I have seen this phone first hand, we just had a training for it and its pretty sweet.
it DOES have an External display but its a reflection design that can have a bunch of different screen savers scroll all over the flip. it also DOES have a camera (vga) and of course comes in four diff colors. Royal Blue, Graphite Black, Soft Pink and Red. its of course Bluetooth capable as well its a sweet little phone.
also as a side note i had a chance to play with the new pro series with the Qchat and had a 5 min discussion with no delays in completely diff states.
SANYO ROCKS!!!

So does anyone have any opinions on whether this one will be better, or not as good as the katana dlx?
