Sanyo SCP 4000 Cell Phone

Pros: Size,sound,versatility
Cons: Have not found one yet....

I am writing this review because I have owned one of these great phones for 9 months. I researched mobile/cellular phones for 2 days... I like the ability to change modes myself or have the phone do that.
I needed to have a phone small enough to...

Pros: Does everything for free
Cons: Wasn't around two years ago

I am a brand new Sprint PCS customer, and I wish I had signed up a year ago. However, I wouldn't have been able to get this great little phone. When I placed my old cell phone next to my home phone, I wondered how I ever managed without it. I had the...

Pros: Small, feature rich, durable
Cons: Some people will think it's "too small"

I purchased my Sanyo SCP-4000 phone about a year ago. Having lived in Japan, I was looking for a very small phone (Japanese phones are super tiny) since I find that I will carry a small phone everywhere but leave larger phones at home much of the time....

Pros: I love that silver button, and the sleek design...
Cons: Damn the static and echo...

When my friends asked me what I wanted for my birthday, I immediately told them "A CELL PHONE." In a week or so, that is what I have received. The SCP-4000 was a great phone to look at, with the silver button, blue back-lit screen, and the sleek, slim,...

Pros: great battery life, good size, very durable
Cons: Digital service is hard to achieve inside buildings

The Sanyo SCP-4000 is an superb phone. I have been using mine for over a year and it is still working great. It fits in a pocket or purse very easily. My favorite feature is that you can turn off the ringer and still know that you have missed a call....

Pros: Tiny yet beautiful and capable
Cons: can't think of any

The Sanyo SCP 4000 is one on the coolest, dual mode phone with all the latest digital features. It also includes a brilliant blue indiglo back-lit display that is easy to read in low light and dark surroundings. I really like the navigation key that...

Pros: tiny, sound quality
Cons: battery, minibrowser

I generally like this phone, but it is ALWAYS running out of juice. My husband's Nokia 6100 is NEVER needing a recharge. And I am not exactly a heavy user of talk time.
The petite size and weight of the phone is a plus. I'm spoiled by its tiny...

Pros: Screen easy to read in the dark
Cons: phone heats up during prolonged usage

I don't spend hours a day on my phone, and I'm not the type of person to recite every feature on any technological device that I own. That being said, I just want to say, I love this phone. I have found it easy to use, from the fast scrolling through...

Pros: Long battery life, Dual-band
Cons: Display gets hot after about 20 minutes of continuous use.

When I decided to get Sprint PCS service, my wife wanted one of those little Motorola StarTAC or Samsung flip phones - I suppose that it is a "fits-into-the-tiny-handbag" girl thing. As an engineer, however, I don't like hinges - too easy to accidentally...

Pros: lightweight, strong signal, battery life, features
Cons: battery meter

I have gone through almost every phone on SprintPCS save the
new Samsung 8500. In my experience, the Sanyo is simply the
best phone available. Let me recap why. First, it is very
lightweight(4.7 ounces). It in not a flip-phone, but I...

Pros: Blue backlight, easy to read. Easy to navigate. Great instruction booklet.
Cons: None

I have looked at many phones in the stores, and tried many different phones. Finally made my choice of the Sanyo SCP-4000 Clearnet PCS. Set up was easy with Clearnet, they were very helpful. It also came with a $50.00 Pay and Go card.
Very easy to...

Pros: small, light, screen color, holds signal
Cons: volume control buttons, screen to small for easy web use

This phone is small, light, easy to use, but has small screen.
It holds a signal better than any other phone on the Sprint system.
As long as the little antenna is showing you can make a call.
The volume control buttons are also a pain to...

Pros: Size, features, quality
Cons: Reception slightly worse than others

I had a piece of junk Motorola Talkabout on Sprint PCS. The flimsy antenna broke and Sprint could not get a replacement for weeks. So finally I bought this phone for its size, weight, battery life, and vibrating ring. It is very solid and has a great...

Pros: Cute - reminds me of the phone I had when I lived in Japan 5 years ago.
Cons: Poor roaming in Canada with Sprint

Hi folks,

I recently bought this phone for use here in San Francisco. While Sprint offers great service here, I must say I was very dissapointed on a recent trip to British Columbia.

Even in the huge metropolitan city of Vancouver...

Pros: low cost. sweet blue indiglo backlight!
Cons: warmth problem.

So, I wanted a cell phone of my own. I was used to a pretty generic motorola flip phone and wanted to go Sprint PCS. Well, there are a million phones to choose from, but I chose this Sanyo model. There was also the 4500 series...but it was a)too big...
