Sanyo's SCP-2700 for Sprint is decidedly not another Katana

Sanyo users on Sprint seem to swear by the quality of their phones more than any other group of fanboys and girls -- only problem is, the Kyocera division's selection has amounted to little more than a bunch of low-end flips for the past year. Where's the excitement? That might come in with this little gem, which our tipster alleges to be the SCP-2700 -- not a form factor Sanyo has a lot of experience with, but then again, it's no secret that text-centric feature phones are the name of the game for American carriers these days. It's no Katana, but then again, that's kind of the idea. We'll keep you updated as we hear more.

LMAO You are so right! I think it looks like a centro with a weird keyboard nintendo-photoshopped onto it :D Maybe they used MS Paint...Don't think an NES could handle .jpg's, it is only 8-bit after all ;)

That is an odd photograph... If that is their anti-fingerprint measure, they need to reconsider. :D

Coming to Sprint Huh? Hmmmmmm..........As a Longtime sprint customer, its good to finally see a Sanyo that isnt a Flip. Cuz at one point in time it seemed like Sanyos where all that Sprint Had.

This might make me look at Sanyos again...but im not 13 anymore so ill stay with My HTC's, Palms and Blackberry's.

I must say, I had some dumb Sanyos when I first joined Sprint back in the day. While the interfaces weren't quite as smart or pretty as some other models (like Samsung), they were practically bullet-proof, got fantastic reception and were practically glitch free.
