Pros: Great battery life. Call receptions much improved over my other phone.
Cons: Earpiece is my only complaint
The Bottom Line: Cell phone basics are call quality, excellent battery life and easy to use. This phone has all of that and much, much more for a great price!

| jbjtkbw00's Full Review: Sanyo SCP-4900 |
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 know, was their slim phone. Very thin and convenient to carry. I just got my SCP 4900 a week ago, and this phone is smaller in dimensions and just a tad thicker. I like a phone that FEELS like a phone. I've never liked flip phones cause they've always felt too flimsy for me. This phone is solid and feels great in my hands!
Second, let's talk reception. I also agree that I'm getting better reception in the work place and home where my other phone was lacking from time to time. I've even managed to continue conversations in stairwells and elevators, where many other phones lose their signal.
Third, call quality. My friends all say that they can not tell that I'm on a cell phone as my calls come through crisp and clear here in Orlando, FL. Speaker phone IS actually full duplex on this phone. Speaker works like a charm as well.
Fourth, features and functions are on the ball! I love the menus and the access to everything. I surf the web on my phone now more than ever. I do agree that the web speeds need to be faster, but when I think about the access times that I was receiving on my previous phone that wasn't java enabled nor had a color display, I find the times to be the same for a whole lot more data to pop up. And as time goes by, Sprint will have the speeds increased as the network matures, so I can forgive the slight delay.
In closing, let me say that when 3G was first announced, I researched the available phones at the time and when it came to the display in the store of this model, I played around with it for almost 45 minutes. This was back in the beginning of August. Now I own one. I can't be any more satisfied and have found my new toy for the next few years until Sanyo improves upon this model. As a matter of fact, the only thing I can see them improving is indeed the ear piece. Otherwise, Sanyo, keep up the great work.
