Sanyo Katana Eclipse does the FCC mating ritual

by Chris Ziegler, posted Jul 21st 2008 at 2:59PM

Well, there you have it: the very real-looking Katana Eclipse pictured in that leaked Sprint roadmap is, in fact, real. The upcoming clamshell flew right on through the FCC recently (filed under new parent Kyocera's name, no less) bearing the expected external music controls and an evolutionary design that's kinda sorta reminiscent of everything that makes the Katana series, the Katana series. We've got EV-DO in here, too, so if we had to guess, this will end up slotting in somewhere toward the bottom of Sprint's midrange when it goes on sale -- which may or may not be August 17 depending on the accuracy of said roadmap.

Well, this is Kyocera's first shot at a Sanyo phone... lets hope they do us sanyo-fanboys proud. The rumored specs are already a bit weak on this thing tho, but if they can at least match the M1 in functionality, like browse while listening to music.
