  • How is this phone rated so high?

    Nov 12 '05
    Pros: Reliable
    Cons: Poor keypad made daily use it's demise

    Summary: As I look for a new phone, I decided to see how my old phone rated and was quite surprised at how generous some people are regarding ratings. I am quite perplexed at how this phone is rated so high. The phone offers several functions; however, they are ... read more

  • Terrible sound quality

    Jun 08 '04
    Pros: Hi resolution screen is easy to read.
    Cons: Terrible sound quality. Call lists fail to roll automatically. Users manual doesn't explain most features.

    Summary: This review pertains to the SCP 8100, which is virtually identical to the SCP 5300 except it is for the Sprint network. This is a terrible phone for the money. The sound quality is horrible - I exchanged the first one I bought for $239 at Radio Shack ... read more

  • SANYO SCP-5300: After a Year of Ownership...

    May 26 '04
    Pros: Nice looks, lots of features, camera/flash a big plus, nice ringers, easy to use.
    Cons: Sporadic signal, slightly large, battery life not that great, Sprint Vision expensive and quirky.

    Summary: Since the cell phone boom, I've been a Sanyo Man. My very first phone was the Sanyo SCP-4000, and when it came time for my mother to buy a phone, I heartily recommended the SCP-4500. I was very happy with my SCP-4000: it was reliable, well-built, ... read more

  • The Swiss Army Knife of Cell Phones.

    Mar 16 '04
    Pros: camera, good shape, games, LCD screens, reception, double batteries
    Cons: not much, batteries drain faster than my v60...b/c of the color LCDs

    Summary: Two of my friends own this phone, and I have done extensive research on it. So even though I don’t own it, I have spent much time with one-games, pictures etc. The Tale of The Tape The Batteries The phone comes with two ... read more

  • Beam me up Scotty

    Mar 01 '04
    Pros: Size, ease of use, features to please most anyone
    Cons: delicate casing, few bugs (volume), still Sprint

    Summary: Ok, cycle through my reviews and you'll see more or less a review for every phone I've owned. They all offer insights and experiences from someone who literally kills phones for a living. So a little a background is in order (as usual). My company ... read more

  • Fabulous

    Jan 31 '04
    Pros: Signal reception
    Cons: Price of accessories.

    Summary: I replaced a Samsung A500 phone that I lost in a snow storm. It was a fortunate loss as I had been having signal reception problems especially at home. I replaced the phone with the Sanyo SCP5300 and haven't had a dropped call since. Other people have ... read more

  • Does the job, but not worth the money!

    Jan 03 '04
    Pros: Cute screen saver, Camera, Ringtones.
    Cons: Cant touch the antenna, crappy reception.

    Summary: As a previous owner of the sanyo 4500 and then the 4900, I decided to get this phone after I dropped my old 4900 in the toiled and it died. My previous experience with sanyo has been good so that fueled my decision to purchase this phone. The good ... read more

  • Sanyo SCP-5300 - Not My Cup O' Tea!

    Dec 26 '03
    Pros: Large Screen, Camera Features+Flash, Second Battery
    Cons: Bulky, Crappier Than The 8100

    Summary: When I was switching back to Sprint, I had the choice of two phones. I wanted to pursue Sanyo, so it was either the Sanyo SCP-8100 which was the phone being advertised then at only $99.99 with activation or the much more expensive Sanyo SCP-5300 ... read more

  • Confessions of a gadget-slut...

    Oct 20 '03
    Pros: Color, internet, ringtones, camera w/flash, charges fast, alarm/calendar, nifty novelties, clamshell design
    Cons: Lack of accessories, can get hot, keypad lighting(dim & GREEN, bleah), nothing else really!

    Summary: For months now, I have been hankering for a new cell phone. I liked the one I had(Nokia 5165), but I wanted something more. Oh, and the crapola service from Cingular sucked too. Dropped calls aplenty, static & fading in & out, frequent "No Service" warnin ... read more

  • Cool Enough for the Clubs...and My Mom!

    Oct 04 '03
    Pros: Camera + Phone!
    Cons: $Pricey

    Summary: I first bought this phone about 3 months ago. I was instantly and thoroughly impressed by its cool interface...both colorful and detailed. The navigating window categorizes the menu by pictures and titles which you scroll through with ease. The buttons ... read more

  • Nice phone as price drops, needs usability improvements

    Jun 07 '03
    Pros: Camera with 640x480 resolution Good looking color screen Good battery life
    Cons: Web Browser is horrible Menus not intuitive Midi quality is so-so for ringers

    Summary: This is my second Sprint phone. I had one of the original "bricks" for about 4 years before it died. I got this primarily for the camera feature, and for that I am satisfied. It certainly is not a replacement for a 3 MP digital camera, but I always ... read more

  • Dick Tracy, your new multi function communicator has arrived

    May 08 '03
    Pros: Great phone, packed with features including a handy camera
    Cons: Just a bit bulky, hard to find volume on side without looking

    Summary: As always, I'm reluctant to purchase an expensive toy unless I know I will use it. This Sanyo phone is just that, but as I use my phone for well over 8000 minutes per month, I could justify spending money on a good phone just as I have on a good ... read more
