Sanyo 6600 "Katana" drops on Sprint's website {Engadget Mobile}

Jul 24th 2006 4:34PM The Sanyo Katana is great; I hear or read a lot of comments that it does not have this or that. How big do you want a thin phone? How about one that you can watch TV, listen to MP3's, make pop corn, shave (for he guys), take pictures, record messages and maybe, just maybe make a phone call. Comparing the Katana to the Samsung A900 is like comparing apples and oranges; they were designed to do different things outside of making phone calls. The Katana is a perfect entry level slim phone. It does resemble the Razor on the outside, barely, and looks nothing like the Razor on the inside. The A900 keyboard looks more like the Razor then the Katana. The Katana's calls are crystal clear, voice command works great, the speakerphone good as well, connecting to the internet to check e-mail is great and sending the occasional text message from Yahoo Messenger works good as well. This is a very solid, cool phone at a great price. Now if you are looking for a phone that plays MP3's and you can shoot videos and want to use as your main camera then you are looking at the wrong phone, but for crystal clear phone calls, a cool look and a great way to fill down time, this is the phone for you. Great Job Sanyo, looking forward to more great products in the future!
