Not Perfect

by y2k_compliant , May 18 '04
Pros: Good battery life, nice display, loud and clear speakerphone
Cons: Poor reception, easily damaged, bulky, heavy
After living with the 4900 for more than a year, I've drawn the following conclusions: Poor durability - The silver coating on the front of the phone scratches easily. Accidental drops can damage the battery clasp mechanism. Nokias are far superior at ...

Sanyo SPC-4900

by disabati , Dec 07 '03
Pros: Excellent reception, Intuitive menu, speaker phone, excellent voice dial feature.
Cons: Placement of speakerphone & volume control buttons are awkward; speakerphone function needs improvement.
Excellent phone, but as always, there's room for improvement. It has the best reception capability to date in the industry. Sanyo/Sprint's menuing system is easy and intuitive. I had the Sanyo SPC-4700 (another excellent phone) and upgraded to the ...

A Cell Phone That Is Worth Searching For

by newtownbeans Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Oct 07 '03
Pros: Fantastic reception; very long battery life; feature packed; speakerphone; easy to use intuitive menu.
Cons: A little larger than some non-flip phones; a little longer start-up time.
The Sanyo SCP-4900 Dual Band Cell Phone is no longer being made, but there are still some places where it can be purchased, including eBay. If you are in the market for a new cell phone for the Sprint PCS service, I highly recommend that you do some searc ...

Comparison Sanyo 4900 v Hitachi P300

by warrenm , Jul 21 '03
Pros: Amazing Battery Life and call quality
Cons: Large size, screen plastic weak.
Being a Sprint user the selection of low cost phones is pretty limited, the flip phones are either expensive or dysfunctional. In the Sub $100 range you have a choice of two. I was lucky enough too own both the Hitachi P300 and the Sanyo 4900 for the ...

A Great Phone, A Great Big One, That Is!!!

by rmskater , Jun 16 '03
Pros: Speakerphone, high screen resolution, color, vision enhancements.
Cons: Big, bulky, "clicky" buttons, directional pad, menu system.
Well now, I do have to admit that this is a very nice phone. It can handle calls and utilizes Sprint's Vision capabilities very nicely. All in all it is a great phone.

Okay, this phone IS pretty big, at least compared to Sprint's other...

Pros: Great signal, great features, ringtones, computer hookup
Cons: slow wap web browsing on the phone

1. Sync contacts and calendar.
2. Download ringtones/images from your PC (if you find free MIDI files, you...

Sanyo 4900

by jmcdougal , Mar 27 '03
Pros: Great battery life Color screen Best reception in the Sprint family Very customizable
Cons: Rather bulky Sprints SMS with Vision
This is an all around great phone, it may not have all the features of a Sanyo 5300, but for the price, you cannot ask for much more. I can leave this thing on for two weeks and never have o charge the thing. This is a great plus because you never ever...

What a great phone!

by hayesfamily , Feb 23 '03
Pros: LONG battery life, bright screen, sounds great, good range
Cons: Clip placement, long, lighted buttons
I replace a Sanyo 5050 clamshell phone with this one. I used to miss the clam shell design, but I have gotten used to this.

The screen on this phone a lot brighter and the colors are more vivid. Having the color makes it much easier to use...

Friends don't let friends buy flip phones.

by gordiemon , Feb 19 '03
Pros: Color Screen, Price
Cons: Bulky Size
Very recently I mosied on down to my local Sprint Pcs store for my next cellular phone. The allure of colored screens and low monthly rates were simply too compelling to pass up. And, at $49.99 with a $100 instant rebate, there was simply no way to...
