Summary: SCP 4900
Review:
The SCP 4900 is a solid phone overall but it may not be for everyone. I have had this phone for close to a year and it has operated flawlessly for me but there is one drawback.

The phone is quite large. Very nearly the size of some cordless phones you'd find at home. So, if you haven't seen this phone in person you may want to take the time to check it out.

That said the phone has excellent battery life both in standby and talktime. I can't say specfically how long but easily days without concern for a recharge.

The speakerphone is hands down the best I've ever used. I have a few other phones as well and this phone's speaker phone is hands down the loudest & clearest, and the mic works great too.

Since the phone is large those who dislike phones with keys the size of a grain of rice will enjoy using this phone.

Another bonus benefiting from and/or causing the phones rather robust size is that the screen is quite large as well. The screen is bright and clear and has a nice graphical menu to navigate its many options. The graphical menu is quick and navigates very easily.

The phone is solidly built as well. I'm a bit of a clutz and have forced this phone to nosedive onto many patios and driveways with force and have not had any cracks or major scratches as a result. Also, none of the button labels have worn off of the phone which occurs on some phones over time.

The sound quality and reception is also fantastic. Driving down the highway with the windows down will not hamper a conversation on this phone. One of this phone's strongest perfromance characteristics is how well the mic isolates your voice and how clear the headset is. Also, I have two samsung phones that are pretty decent but this phone consistently catches at least two bars of reception when the samsungs can't find any; all on the Sprint PCS network.

Overall, this phone is a fantastic performer but again due to its size I suggest taking a look in person to see if it meets your mobility standards.

Review: I got 3 of these for my Girlfriend & kids to use. They are really quite a neat little phone, and they work well with the Sprint Network. It sounds like you are on a landline when you are talking on them. The kids like being able to download games, and text message each other. We have had no problems with them, and I would recommend them to anyone.

Summary: Best Cell Phones on the Market! This phone Rocks!
Review: I have had about 5 cell phones over the past 7 years. Of all the phones I've had, the Sanyo's have been head and shoulders above the rest.

This phone has great features. The speakerphone is very clear. The Voice Recorder in the phone comes in handy. It doesn't have a camera like some of the newer phones, but the sound quality is great. In addition, the Wireless Web service Sprint offers looks pretty good on this screen.

This may be a discontinued phone, but buying one of the used models is still probably worth it. Don't be mislead by the marketing of other big name phones. Sanyo's phones are the best on the market!
