| hayesfamily's Full Review: Sanyo SCP-5000 |
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. The rings are actually midi files. You can buy the cable and software for $80, but it’s not worth it. You can download new ringers from sprint, but it’s not the fastest procedure.
Like most other expensive devices that are elaborate, the only difference other than some need features, is that you can show off your phone. To me, that is not worth the money you pay for it. I personally paid $170 because I got it on employee discount. Its worth it then, but not if your paying $300. Save you money for a new phone when a new technology comes out.
As far as sprint goes, I have had some problems with their customer service. To solve most problems, just ask to cancel you phone, and they will usually try to do what you ask. For example, refund the customer service charges, add more minutes to plan, or what have you. But don’t abuse it.
If you want to add pictures of your friends when they call, its nearly imposable. You have to buy the expensive software and cable that I was talking about earlier. Again, not worth it. Are you actually going to open your phone when a call comes in to see who is calling?? Their name is on the caller id. Plus the caller ID screen turns colors. How fun it that?
My paint on the top of the phone is rubbing off after 1.5 months of having the phone, so I can't say its the most durable.
Good luck with whatever phone you decide to buy.
