Why is this just starting to seem like Sanyo's version of the RAZR. A different version every 2.5 seconds.

Probably because it was a RAZR ripoff from day one?

Nippero: The Katana Eclipse X doesn't look much like a RAZR - they've both evolved in different directions - but the original Katana was quite similar to the RAZR, appearance-wise...chin and all. Remember, Sprint didn't carry the RAZR until the very end, and it was no secret that they considered the Katana to be "their RAZR." I mean, they made it in tons of colors and named it after a blade, for heaven's sake.

While the original Katana was thin (especially for its time, and for a CDMA phone), none of its successors (to wit: Katana II, Katana LX, Katana DLX, Katana Eclipse, Katana Eclipse X) have been particularly slender. And they all feel quite plasticky, especially compared to the metal-bodied RAZR.

Mog,

Wrong phone -- Sprint's initial answer to the Moto RAZR was the Samsung A900, or affectionately known as the "Blade." The Sanyo Katana came much after the release of the A900, when thin clamshells became much more standard.

Yea I remember the blade, but nothing from Sanyo.

So this ISNT a RAZR clone then?
