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 Bottom Line: Well worth searching for and buying this cell phone while there are still some available. Pay any price....you will not find a better phone anywhere!

| newtownbeans's Full Review: Sanyo SCP-4900 |
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 searching for this one. This is by far the BEST cell phone I have ever owned!
It has a full color display with up to seven lines of text; a built-in speakerphone; internal phone book able to assign up to 500 numbers and up to 300 email and Web addresses; speed dial; PCS Vision enabled; and many, many more features.
The best and most important thing about this phone is that it has the clearest and sharpest reception of any phone I have ever used. I have used it in concrete and steel buildings, basements, tunnels....you name it.......and the reception sounds like I was talking on a land line phone.
The battery life is outstanding, the intuitive menu is easy to use and the features are more than you can ask for on any cell phone. In addition it can be used on the Sprint PCS Vision network for emails, messaging, web, games, additional ringers & screensavers etc.
This is not a flip style phone and it is a little larger than some other brands, but I have not found that to be a problem. I do not like the flip phones anyway, and I purchased a very neat horizontal leather belt clip case which allows me to carry the phone very comfortably.
The only small fault I could find with this remarkable phone is that it takes a little longer than normal with most phones to turn on. But we're only talking a few seconds longer.
I don't know why Sanyo stopped making this phone, but as I said, there are still some available and I guarantee that you will not find a better cell phone anywhere.
