  • DO NOT Purchase this Phone Unless...

    Nov 12 '00
    Pros: Amazing features that are technological marvels, a good phone,
    Cons: Too much phone, will you surf the net from a phone?

    Summary: Web enabled phones are upon us and might be all the rage this Christmas- or will they? What are the positives and what are the negatives when it comes to web enabled phones? Should you buy one? What is with my title? Ah, all questions that I hopefully ... read more

    Mar 31 '05
    Pros: ease of use and nice features
    Cons: none I can think of

    Summary: I have had this phone for over 4 years now and love it. It is very easy to operate and very durable. I love the speaker phone feature. This comes in very handy if you are driving and the phone rings, just press a button and talk. No fumbling to put ... read more

  • Nice but not reliable.

    Feb 28 '03
    Pros: Nice phone, easy to use, good reception
    Cons: Not reliable

    Summary: The phone stopped working after 1 and a half years. It wouldn't charge the battery and if I put a brand new charged battery into the phone, the phone would come on and look like it worked - except that if I tried to make a call, it wouldn't go through. ... read more

  • Good thing it was on sale

    Feb 27 '03
    Pros: Compact, Indiglo, Evironment Feature
    Cons: High price, Cheap phone

    Summary: I got the Sanyo 4500 to replace my Sprint Touchpoint 120. I should have just bought a replacement battery for my 120. The 4500 has a horrible reception w/ the antena up or down. Its hard to get the sounds to turn off w/o changing all the functions of the ... read more

    Pros: Great phone, super great options worth the purchase
    Cons: a bit power hungry, battery drains fast. navigation button could use a little tweeking.

    Summary: This was the first phone I purchased with Sprint PCS. I was used to nokia and was a little leary of the transition from nokia to another. However, when I first activated the sanyo 4500 I was blown away by the numerous options that were opened up to me. ... read more

    Summary: Let me start off by saying that this phone is the coolest phone I've ever played with. I Got this phone free from my sister when she got a new one. Also we used a Sprint PCS referall program to get a $20 credit to our accounts. But anyway back to ... read more

  • Good choice for a gadget guru

    Oct 20 '02
    Pros: Speakerphone, BRIGHT SCREEN, nice menus. Perfect choice.
    Cons: Design a little chunky, even though it isnt wide, its pretty thick.

    Summary: The Sanyo SCP-4500, now a retired model, is still functional after all the technology that has come out in the past year or 2. Many phones have been given facelifts and redesigns, but this one could be put on the market right now, and still sell out. ... read more

  • Excellent Phone Choice

    Oct 08 '02
    Pros: Great battery life, great reception, good features.
    Cons: Shape wants to slip out of my hands for some reason.

    Summary: I had a SCP 4500 for 2 years. My husband still has one. I didn't appreciate how great it was until mine got dropped in the bay and Sprint PCS replaced it with a Samsung. The Samsung battery lasted less than a day and half the time it didn't ring - I just ... read more

  • Phone for the agile, not for the clumsy

    Aug 10 '02
    Pros: Fun while it lasts, until you drop it too many times
    Cons: Doesn't last long; Instable battery life.

    Summary: At first I really liked this phone. Initially it had good sound quality, and seemed to work well. It had lots of features, some of which I ignored, and some of which I began to learn about while I got to know my little Sanyo. But now, after about ... read more

  • If your looking at good reception...this is your smart buy!

    Jul 20 '02

  • Powerful but complex!?

    Apr 02 '02
    Pros: Speakerphone. Tons of features.
    Cons: Features make it complicated to use.

    Summary: This is the phone that I have been using for the past 2-1/2 years. The main reason that I got it was for the speakerphone, but I found that I very rarely used that option. Voice dialing seemed like something I would use, too. But that was also something ... read more
