Sanyo's Katana Eclipse in all its glory

Relax, take your shoes back off and put down your car keys -- the Katana Eclipse still isn't released, so there's no point in running down to your local Sprint kiosk just yet. We do, however, have a full range of photography that should temporarily keep would-be buyers' heads from exploding for a dearth of information about Sanyo's latest American clam. The phone looks like it might be the most attractive Katana to date, and Sanyo owners tend to be among the most fiercely loyal around, so we think this one should get some good play at the cash register. Check out the gallery, and keep the drool off your keyboard for once, will ya?

Wow, Up here in canada Bell already has this phone for like the last week. You guys are getting slow down there lol.

But all and all its pretty neat, colours are very bright on it, as my buddy picked one up a couple days ago.

On the other hand, anyone that's seen what Sanyo has to offer on the other side of the Pacific will be sorely disappointed at what Sanyo keeps pushing for Sprint. This barely measures up to the stuff sold in Japan 3 years ago!

i had a couple of sanyo phones years ago when i was with sprint, and they were great. too bad they don't have any gsm offerings in the u.s., not that i'm currently looking for a phone.
