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: Great battery life, good speaker phone
Cons: Screen TOO dark during sleep mode,

The Sanyo SCP-4900. What a great phone compared to the Samsung N400 that I traded in. See my review ...

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: 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: 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 ...

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: 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: 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: 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 ...

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: Many features, color, long battery life, enhanced phonebook/phone log, instant recording
Cons: Lots of buttons, battery breaks free if dropped, web navagation awkward

**** Update*** Recently Sprint went to unlimited Vision time which is good/great. Navagation is now not a download MB question and you can surf at will, albeit clumsily. Get the replacement plan for the phone, it scratches easily, and does not bounce...

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 ...

Pros: Color screen, good reception, good battery life
Cons: Screen color is limited, vision content is lacking

I have only been with Sprint PCS for a year and half but once I saw the new color phones I had to get one. My contract was already up so I got it for $49 with a new 1-year contract, I’m partial to the candy bar style phones anyway so I was happy....

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: 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...
