Sanyo's Katana Eclipse flip phone lands at Bell Mobility

Merely hours after getting up close and personal with press shots of Sanyo's Katana Eclipse, folks up in Canada can now reach out and grab their own. Bell Mobility is offering said flip phone for $49.95 on a tear-jerking 3-year contract, $99.95 on a 2-year plan, $224.95 on a 1-year plan or $274.95 sans an agreement. Specs wise, you're looking at a 1.3-megapixel camera, 10MB of internal memory, integrated MP3 player, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, a 2-inch internal display (complemented by a 1-inch screen on the outside) and a 2-way speakerphone to boot. So, does simple do it for ya?

I remember when the Katana came out and it was trying to compete wit the RAZR. It has failed to compete with the RAZR because they're so fugly. They should stop producing them.

That's a photo of the orig. Katana, not the Eclipse. The Bell site is showing the wrong photos in the photo pop-up thing. The main Bell spec page is showing the correct photo, but only of it open.
