Pros: Color Display, Play games, Check your E-mail!
Cons: The price of $179!

The Sanyo SCP-4900 dual band cellular phone is an innovation led by Sprint. This phone has a full color display with seven lines of text and colorful icons on it. This phone offers so much with colorful games, wireless Internet and so much more. The...

Pros: Cool features, great reception, long battery life
Cons: On/off button, speaker phone mic works poorly

I've had the Sanyo 4900 for 2 weeks now and I love it. I am currently working in an area on the fringe of PCS service. My Motorola Timeport 8767 was intermittently on the PCS network. The Sanyo is on the network 99% of the time in the same area.

Pros: Battery Life,Clarity,Price,Color Screen,Durability
Cons: Sprint PCS charging to download almost anything for a limited time

I purchased this phone because I wanted to upgrade from my 4500, which by the way is one of the best non-color, non-flip phones available. This phone has so many features, here are a few of my favorites: speakerphone,Games,Downloading ringers and...

Pros: Color screen, excellent battery life, polyphonic rings, large screen
Cons: a little bulky, a bit pricey if you get it full-price, downloads aren't all free

I've been with Sprint PCS for a bit over 1 and a half years now. My old phone was a Motorola StarTac. After that phone, my Sanyo 4900 is a luxury. The polyphonic rings are impressive and pleasant to listen to. The color screen is bright and...

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 ...

Pros: Ability to hold onto signal... :)
Cons: Takes a little getting used to -> but don't all phones?

Well, I've had Motorolla's, Sony's, Nokias, Samsungs (reviewed the Samsung 8500 and N200), and finally came to the Sanyo 4900.

Now I've had Sprint for almost 3 years, and I know where I do and do not get signal... this phone has virtually...

Pros: Sleek, stylish candybar-style phone with great reception, lots TALK TIME and loads of features!
Cons: Antenna is huge -- almost as long as the phone when fully extended.

I’m a phone fanatic! I love Cool phones and Sanyos are one of my favorite indulgences. I’ve had the Sanyo 4500, 4700, and now the 4900. The 4900 is the best of the series so far. I skipped over the 5000 series as they were too expensive and...

Pros: 1) Amazing battery life..it runs and runs... 2) Great signal strength 3) Easy-to-use controls
Cons: 1) Not the best-looking phone around 2) The speaker phone mike sucks

I bought a Samsung A-460 phone before this to replace a two-year old ailing Samsung phone I had. The A-460 was a cool-looking phone but the worst I've ever used. The battery would run out by the end of the day (after a couple of hours of usage) and the...

Pros: Great battery life. Call receptions much improved over my other phone.
Cons: Earpiece is my only complaint

OK, let me give you my run down on what I think of this phone.....

First, the reviewers and some of the users have balked at the size of this phone. For the past three years, I've used the Qualcomm QCP-2760, which, for those of you in the...

Pros: Reception, reception, reception!!! Battery life, speakerphone and 3G
Cons: Size - but it is easy to get used to

The Sanyo 4900 is a workhorse phone. It is the HP of the mobile world. After testing many phones, the 4900 has, by far, the best reception and battery life of any phone on the market. I now have reception at home.

To boot, its...

Pros: Battery Life, Signal Strength, Spacing of Buttons, Sound Quality
Cons: A Bit Bulky

I didn't originally plan on purchasing this phone. I had actually gone into the store planning on spending twice as much on one of those "cool" little flip phones. The thing that swayed me in my decision was the fact that battery life really isn't that...

Pros: weight, battery life, easy to use, can be used as MODEM, voice dial, speakerphone,
Cons: battery falls out when dropped, downloads cost$$ and expire

This is the best phone Ive had. Super long battery life - I only charge it for about 1 hour a week, excellent reception, online capability is the best feature (vision), and the speaker-phone and games are better than average.

I can use it...

Pros: Flashy/trendy new features, large color screen, call screening
Cons: Too big for some?

Sprint PCS is offering the Sanyo SCP-4900 for just $49.00 after a $100 instant rebate in most areas. Compared to the existing Sprint lineup there should be no question which phone you select.

This phone has all the latest trendy features...

Pros: It has brilliant color,internet access,300 name phone book
Cons: None so far

I have been a cellular service user for some many years. I have seen many excellent cellular phones since I have been using cellular. I didn't realize until now how much better a color phone is. I use Sprint PCS as my carrier and recently I decided...

Pros: Nice Color screen, backlit, navigation menu's, battery life, lots of features.
Cons: None

The Sanyo SCP-4900,

Very nice phone. However, this is my first cell phone I have owned. So I can't really nit-pick on this phone without owning other one's.

The Sanyo SCP-4900 is very lightweight. Fits perfectly in your...
