Sanyo SCP 6200 Cell Phone

Pros: Ultra Small Light Stylish Durable well designed - Excellent Feature Set
Cons: Ringers could be a wee bit louder. otherwise there really is none.

I was drooling over the prototype of this phone years ago when I saw it at CES in Las Vvegas.

Finally the 6200 is released with dual band ability and better battery life. That plus the $127 price tag on a refurbished model at Radio Shack...

Pros: Attractive, light, long battery life
Cons: Gets burning hot with use

First things first -- this phone is beautiful. Everyone agrees. As far as design, look and feel go, it's the tops. It is what is sometimes referred to as a "candy bar" phone because that's about the size that it is. It weighs next to nothing and I ...

Pros: Stylish, lightweight, Durable, SMALL, Feature-packed, 3G-Voice Capable, Multi-Chord Ringers!
Cons: Produces heat during lengthly calls, buttons

To start out, I'd just like to say that the Sprint PCS Sanyo 6200 Wireless phone is the coolest phone I have ever owned! For those of you who haven't seen this marvel, first allow me to describe it to you...

The phone is 5-inches tall, with...

Pros: Super-light and thin, cool ringers, big screen, great signal quality
Cons: Poorly placed buttons, bad phone book, long, expensive accessories

My last phone was a Touchpoint 2200 made by Denso, who later exited the mobile phone market. It had problems with weak signals. My wife's 2100 worked much better in those situations. When I recently moved, I discovered that my new house was in a Sprint...

Pros: Very light-weight, super-slim, high-resolution display, 3G compatible.
Cons: Downloadable ringers has problems, reception, awkward button placement.

I purchased this phone as an upgrade from Sanyo's SCP-4500 which was an excellent phone with little to no disadvantages. Recently, the 4500 has been replaced with the SCP-4700.

This review is intended to give you the information you cannot...

Pros: A sleek, tiny little phone packed full of extras.
Cons: Downloadable ringers are a little quiet.

After countless phones, I have finally found one I love!

The phone sounds very clear - and gets excellent reception. The big test for me is my parking garage and the elevator - none of my pasts phones worked in these locations...until I got...

Pros: Slim, Eye-Catching, Great Price and Durable
Cons: Gets Hot When Talking on Phone, Hard-to-Find Accessories and Awkward Buttons

Coming from the user of a Samsung 8500, I was a little hesitant to buy a phone that was not a flip phone. I wanted the next step up from the 8500, but it was too fat (wide), it was wider than my 8500, but it was slimmer. I have a friend that has the...

Pros: Lightweight, Trendy, Great Talk Time, Durable, Soft Keypad
Cons: Programmed ringers suck (download your own), Wish Screen was in color

I am in love with this phone. It is by far the coolest, cutest and most dependable phone I have ever used. Everything that everyone has said so far about this phone is true..including the hot temperature after you've been on it for awhile. But these days ...

Pros: size, weight, reception
Cons: Usability: poor button placement and organization, poor menu system. Light on features

Why I bought it.

My number one priority in buying a new phone was size and weight. I had previously owned and Sanyo 4700 and was very pleased with its feature set and usability, but it just got to be too big to carry around.
...

Pros: Excellent sound quality, very thin and light, very stylish
Cons: Default battery life low. Earpiece heats up after a long call. Needs easily accessible keyguard.

Very nice phone.

Very sleek and stylish. Since it is not a "flip open" phone, it is very durable. It is also very light. You can easily slip it in your shirt/ pants pockets, or purse. It is long enough so that the mouth-piece is near your...

Pros: Thin, lightwieght, stylish, and many great features
Cons: None that I've noticed, but being so thin it must be fragile

This phone is by far the greatest phone I ever have owned! Its as thin as a cd case and light as a feather! It also has awesome features like you can change the color of the screen!! Orange, green, whatever you want! The lcd screen is extremely easy...

Pros: lightest cell phone ever had
Cons: no color

This phone is truly what i always needed but never had. This phone is so good it can take anything f ...

Pros: Stylish, SLIM, classy looking
Cons: downloaded ringers needs to be much louder, button placement

Well I've had this phone for about three months and it's by far my favorite phone yet. It's obviously very slim and sleek. I've gotten alot of random compliments from people who have seen me use my phone. And yes, it is a very good conversation...

Pros: Size, Size, ans Size.
Cons: Small buttons.

This phone has been wonderful to me. It is just about as light and small as cell phones get. Mine has held up for nearly 2 years. This is quite a feat because it has been dropped hundreds of times and even fell in a full sink. My first complaint with this phone is that you can not push the buttons well with gloves on. This is due to the small size of the phone which is also its biggest asset. The paint has almost completly worn off of the edges of the phone (but that is only cosmetic).

Pros: Good value for unit cost.
Cons: Flip-tops are more convenient.

Have owned Model 6200 for almost 2 years. Performance has been satisfactory although the Menu selects are tiresome; particularly if you need to go down 3-4 levels.

The height/length of the phone is an inconvenience. I will be switching to a flip-top configuration as this will more easily fit into a pants pocket. Carrying the SANYO in a shirt pocket is risky as it has a tendency to fall out. I've had that experience on more than one occasion while fumbling around at airport security checkpoints.

Cell phone carrying cases that can accommodate this phone do not alleviate the length/height of the phone nor do they appreciably improve the phone's portability when worn on one's belt.
