Pros: PDA functionality, photo caller ID, sleek design, lightweight and compact, external LCD

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...

Pros: Color display, compact, wireless web enabled, user friendly
Cons: Battery life, cost ($499.99), web not in color, wont sync with PDA/computer

The Sanyo SPC-5000 is the first telephone in the U.S. with a full color (256 colors) display. The 2 inch display allows for up to 12 lines of text. The display is clearly viewable in daylight and at night due to the fact it is backlit.
The Sanyo...

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

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...

Pros: Sleek, silver, and in color, showing off the technology just starting in the US.
Cons: The high price isn't worth just having a color-screened phone.

The Sanyo SCP-5000 is definitely a phone that would cause envy in your fellow wireless-using friends. The first week that I had it, I barely got to use it, so many people were playing with it, oohing and aahing over the nifty little features that it...

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

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...

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

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...

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

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...

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

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...

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

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...

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

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...

Pros: small, good reception, color lcd screen
Cons: expensive, and short battery life

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...

Pros: midi rings, color display, bright screen
Cons: lot of money, kinda big

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....

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

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...

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

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...

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

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...
