Summary: I already asked this question in the other forum...
Review: ... but does anyone know if this phone works with the www.muwap.com website? They have like 20,000 ringtones on there, and do an unlimited download for $10/yr, but I want to know if this phone works with them?

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: thanks for the tip
Review: ...found the link to http://muwap.com here on amazon. Also found that they give you 10% off everything when you type in "amazon" as the coupon code. They have tons of tones for the Nokia phones, and with the coupon it's only $9/year. Cheaper than mMode, and much better selection. Thanks, whomever posted this before!

Summary: You Will LOVE It!!!
Review: After having several cell phones, the Sanyo 8200 is definitely the best cellular phone. My last phone was indeed the Sanyo 8100 and Sprint has done a great job upgrading. By adding the speaking phone to the two-way radio, I have enjoyed this phone more than ever. Can you believe the phone even comes in three different colors to match your own style? The blue was a great choice for someone like me that drops his or her phone frequently. The phone has an awesome picture quality due to the built in flash. This allows the pictures to come out nice and clear. The menu is really neat with the large letters that makes it easy to see and cool pictures to make it fun. The text message has been a great improvement from the 8100 because now you do not have to log onto the net, you can just send. When listening with the flip open or close, the sound is great. You have a variety or sound levels that come out nice and clear. All of these things are hard to find in such a small phone, only 3.64 ounces. Your service as well gets better with the better phone. Believe me, you will love it.

Summary: What a great phone...
Review: and it does everything that I could ever imagine (web, pictures, alarms, downloads, speaker phone) - except streaming video, which the newer version (PCS Phone Sanyo MM-7400 (Sprint) has.

One great buy!

Summary: Sprint... Bad Service
Review: Buyer beware... do not buy Sprint. I give them zero stars! I purchased a Treo 600 for metro Atlanta. Basically the service was very bad. I called to cancelled and charged me $112 and change. As a business customer or any customer why am I being changed for poor service. I am not going to speak bad about their customer service because they tried. But they do not understand about business relationships and how to assist the customer. If you intend to buy a phone from them get the least expensive plan first. Then will not loose as much monsy as I did for just 7 days of service.

Summary: Great Phone!
Review: First off, the color isn't blue, it's more of a cobalt, and I love the cobalt. The speaker on the outside is loud. I can actually hear this phone ringing as opposed to many other flip phones. The color LCD on the outside is just one of those extra things that you don't need, but is really awesome to see who is calling. The screen quality (for both screens) is amazing. Very sharp colors. The phone doesn't flip open and closed easily, it clicks... and that's good because it's not always falling open all the time and I'm not worried about it breaking the hinge.

My only quarrels with the phone are that it is sort of confusing at first to navigate around and figure out all the settings (since there are so many) and you are not able to change the default soft keys for the main screen.

Summary: Great Phone But...........
Review: Having just sent a Samsung A-500 swimming off of Catalina Island, I decided to try a change of pace with the Sanyo 8200. As others have noted, the Functions and Menus on this phone are outstanding. The Camera is a lot of fun and really preforms pretty well.

That being said, I'm really dissappointed with this phones sound quality. When listening to callers with the phone flipped open, you'd swear that each and every one of your callers has swallowed a bag full of cotton or marbles. The calls sound downright horrible. It only gets worse once you plug in the earbud. Turning up the volume only distorts the call even worse.

I'd love to keep this gadget friendly phone but will be switching back to the Samsung. Its sound quality is 10 times better than the 8200 even though I will have to live with its limited features.

Really surprised Sanyo skimped on a key feature for this otherwise excellent phone.

Summary: the coolest phone
Review: hey every one this phone is great it has every thing u would want but it doesn't have video camera the vm4500 has video camera but it isn't that good because the battery meter keeps dropping every time u use it i like this phone i have used and it is far the best and for a good price too it is worth it.Oh yeah it also has walkie takie and it lets communicate with every one using this cell phone and plus u can comunicate with the vm-4500 and that why it is neat.

Summary: GREAT!
Review: I bought this at Radio Shack and returned it. The incoming audio is terrible... I can't believe Sanyo considers this acceptable with so much better technology out there. Every other feature of the phone was fine, but the audio makes this a must-pass. I bought a Samsung model instead and am very happy.

Summary: I really like my cell phone.
Review: I don't have the kind of money where I can buy a new phone whenever I get tired of my old one. I'm a college student and need a phone that is reliable and can be on all day. I actually paid less than expected for this phone after all of the rebates!

The main reason that I got this phone was because everyone else had a Sanyo 8200. It was really the word of mouth and seeing the features demonstrated that made me get the phone.

I'm very happy with my phone. I can have it on all day and use it when I need to. I'm home before the battery even tells me that it needs to be charged.

The external color display is nice to have. I like having it over the LCD that my old cell had.

I have more trouble with silencing this phone, though. When the display says that the sound for the ringer was off, the sound for the messages was still on. This can be annoying when you're in class. I found out that I needed to take the volume down one more notch to "Silence All" and the problem was solved.

The signal for this phone is a lot stronger than previous cell phones that I've had. I still go into roaming on occasion, but I don't have the trouble with dropped called or the phone mysteriously shutting off.

Another thing that I really liked about this phone, was that I am able to use the accessories that I had for my Samsung A500. I didn't have to go buy a new car charger or hands-free device. (Though this phone does have a speaker phone option, there are sometimes that the hands-free device is just better.)

The camera is decent quality. I was able to take some pictures of a friend's wedding that I was able to share with her family and friends the next day. I also can take lots of pictures, upload them, then take more pictures. On high resolution, my phone holds about 20-25 pictures.

Perhaps the best feature in terms of the construction of this cell phone is that the plastic is blue all the way through. If the outside of the phone gets scratched, you won't have a cream colors line. (This was a problem with a Samsung phone that I had. It had been scratched after 2 years of use, and the silver paint was coming off. I had flat gray plastic on the edges of my phone.)

I went to an electronics store, and the wanted about thirty bucks more for the red or blue phones. However, if you get the phone from Amazon, there isn't a different in what you pay based on color!

One improvement that I wish Sanyo would make is to have colorful hard plastic cases (kind of like the ones Nokie offered for the Nokia 5100 series phones). Other accessories would be nice, but I would just like to have something neat to protect my phone and to change it's personality a bit.
