HHHHHEHEHEEEEYYYYYK YEAHHHHA EYAHAHAY AEYAHAHAH
After years of the Sanyo fanboys arguing otherwise, the SCP-2700 confirms the obvious:

Sanyo is dead.

This phone doesn't have the design, quality, or software to compete with any messaging phones from true Tier I manufactures. The Samsung Magnet is a much better device in both form, quality, and functionality than this really cheap, hideous, and cheaply built brick.

Sanyo is done, has been for a long time now. The Samsung v. Sanyo days at Sprint are over. Samsung won hands down, it's over fanboys.
Have you ever used an Instinct, carcomptoy, or are you talking in generalization?

Because I use both the Instinct and the iPhone on a daily basis (Sprint is my corporate acount) and there is little to no difference in the touch screen of the Resistive Instinct and the Capacitive iPhone. If anything, the Apple is a bit of a pain to use, as you cannot use a fingernail or the end of a pen/pencil.

I also have a "capacitive" Samsung screen on my YP-P2. It's terrible compared to both the iPhone and Instinct. Unresponsive all the time.

Samsung seems to generally do the resistive touchscreens better than anyone else. If you've used an LG or Motorola touch, it's a different affair, you really need to push the display, which is just annoying.

In comparison, the Instinct and iPhone are G-R-E-A-T at responding with even the slightest flick/touch. There are a lot of deficiencies with the Instinct, but the resisitve screen generally isn't one of them.
The i627 is the "propel pro". The i637 is another device.
suddenly all the korean models holding phones look second rate!.

show it off Eliza, you're the real thing!
I actually prefer the OEM factory nav units to the portable ones. The interface definitely looks less cartoony, the screens are much brighter, and it also fully integrates with the vehicle's other systems (trip computers, tire pressure monitoring systems (TMPS), etc. I'll take an OEM unit anyday over some other crap.

BTW, the latest COMMAND in Mercedes-Benz vehicles is very, very good. It actually displays ALL directions in the MFA between the gauges (German speak for Multifunction Anzeige). The systems displays which lane you are in, can rip music to the onboard HDD, and even rotates into the dash just as the picture above shows (think that is the GLK class though). Very nice system.
Yeah, except the N71 feels like a Fisher Price toy in your hand. Obnoxious build quality on that phone, hollow cheap, unrefined, uncoated plastic. I have no idea where Nokia gets off releasing such poorly constructed handsets (the N95 is the same way, cheap flibsy plastic, cheap sliding mechanism).
The confusion comes from the fact that there were some pre-production testers floating around that carried 5mp cameras. It's 3mp on the final product though.
Sprint was planning on releasing this phone for the last 6-8 months. It had dual QVGAs and a 3MP camera. It also had EV-DO Rev. A for QChat HPPTT. It was CANCELLED. Sprint is so dumb sometimes.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
