    Oct 04 '02
    Pros: Color screen, ability to download midi files and pictures
    Cons: Battery life.. complicated phone book

    Summary: I got tired of going to radio shack every 6 months to get a new adapter for my TP2100 so I can use an earpiece with my phone and decided to get a new phone. Didn't want to signup for a two year agreement or get a new line and number, so I...

  • cool phone, but thats all

    Jul 17 '02
    Pros: midi rings, color display, bright screen
    Cons: lot of money, kinda big

    Summary: Some people are saying that this phone is like a PDA, but it is not. There is a phone that is like a PDA, but this is not. The phone does have a calendar and contacts like most phones, but it is very limited. The rings on this phone rock....

  • Sanyo "The Color Screened" Cell Phone

    Apr 14 '02
    Pros: small, good reception, color lcd screen
    Cons: expensive, and short battery life

    Summary: I bought this phone three months ago, but have wanted it for the past 6 months. I've had about 4 different cell phones and all which have been Nokia (inluding the 8260), but this phone definitely outpaces them in reception, versatility, and...

  • This Phone is the BEST !!!

    Apr 10 '02
    Pros: Everything on this Phone is top Quality.
    Cons: Maybe the cost for the poor rug rats.

    Summary: I love this phone. It has the best reception in the worst places. My cell phones picks up signal where no other wireless company cell phones pick up. The battery is also one of the best, lasts like 10 days on standby. The color screen really makes better...

  • SCP-5150: practicality v. happiness

    Apr 05 '02
    Pros: sharp display, crisp sounds, lots of features (photo caller ID!)
    Cons: sloppy HCI, doesn't take full advantage of capabilities, below average reception

    Summary: After 4+ years of being ignored by Sprint, I received 2 free phones in the mail last week, a Samsung A400 (based on the 8500) and a Sanyo 5150. I decided to activate the 5150 because it was so much cooler than the A400, even though I had a hunch that...

  • Buy if you have money or else

    Dec 23 '01
    Pros: nice color screen,great ring tones,easy use pc sync mode,very light and durable
    Cons: EXPENSIVE $500,Battery life is very short plus accesories $170

    Summary: This phone is the best phone on the market today for use with sprint service. Your friends will be jalous of all its cool features. I spent $500 for the phone then needed an extended battery for $79 and a extra charger that comes WITOUT a cord for...

  • Great phone, but hate SPCS for replacing with 5150

    Dec 22 '01
    Pros: COLOR, eye catcher, design, midi rings, photos on the screen
    Cons: PRICE!! Battery life and the new 5150 successor.

    Summary: I understand this is a review on the phone and not the provider. Still, I need to state SPCS is not the top choice for providers. Also, I'm VERY VERY upset after spending $500 on a NEW phone and being told SPCS just added the Sanyo 5000 and will not...

  • WOW! that's a cool phone!

    Dec 08 '01
    Pros: compact size, color LCD, outside LCD, big buttons, lots of features, wireless web
    Cons: battery life, cost

    Summary: I seem to get a lot of that type of comments now-a-day. In fact, many times when I talk to people, I often catch their eyes glanced down at my cell phone. You can't blame them, the Sanyo SCP-5000 is a very attractive phone - the color, the size, and...

  • This is the future; well, sort of

    Sep 07 '01
    Pros: Awesome Color Screen, very light; good show-off phone
    Cons: Extremely expensive, very poor battery life; no good option for extended battery

    Summary: So much has been written and said about this phone, but I will go ahead and put my experiences with this phone into the mess. I have been using this phone since it first came out in August, and overall I'm pleased with it. It's important to bear in...

  • This cell phone does what? The Sanyo SCP-5000 has arrived...

    Aug 28 '01
    Pros: PDA functionality, photo caller ID, sleek design, lightweight and compact, external LCD
    Cons: battery life, no address book synching

    Summary: General "Hey man, that IS a cool phone, can I take a look?," my friend asks. "Sure," I say, gingerly handing it over. "Holy cow, this is so light and who's picture is that on there?," my friend exclaims, after...

  • Nice if you got extra $$ to show off

    Aug 20 '01
    Pros: Nice looking, cool features, great phone book implementation, user friendly, nice ringtone.
    Cons: Poor battery life, costly, only 256 colors.

    Summary: This is a pretty good phone overall with "almost" all the features you want. Calendar with TODO list and reminder, world clock are pretty good examples. Game is the weak point although I don't play game on the phone at all. Voice dialing is pretty...

  • SCP-5000 is a real head turner!

    Aug 11 '01
    Pros: Small, light weight, sleek, dual LCDs, solid construction, large screen.
    Cons: High cost, comparatively low battery life

    Summary: The SCP-5000 is not a practical phone when you weigh its cost and benefits with other competing phones. But, really... who ever said the SCP-5000 was targeted to practical people? This sleek and beautiful phone is really made for gadget...

  • The best phone out!!!!

    Jul 29 '01
    Pros: The color screen is cool. The LCD screen on the outside.
    Cons: The battery life is a bit annoying.

    Summary: This phone is the best phone on the market even better than the last phone I had the Sanyo 4500(please read that review by me). The first thing you notice about this phone is the color display, it is great. the 2-inch color display makes viewing the web...

    Jul 26 '01
    Pros: Color screen, outer caller ID display, flash appeal, and quality
    Cons: High price tag, weak battery life, weak voice dialing, pull out antenna.

    Summary: Well I'm not going to bullshiet you about this new Sanyo phone. It's WAY TOO EXPENSIVE! No one in their right minds would buy this phone, but why did I do it? Well... One look at its 2 inch LCD screen and its myriad of features I immediately fell in...
