Summary: amazing
Review: I got this phone only a few hours ago and I love it. I was looking for a phone with a camera and a speakerphone, it exceeded by expectations. I love the look of the phone; it's light and slim.The service is great and everything is so easy to hear. The camera works great as does the speaker. I downloaded a ring earlier thinking i was going to hear different beeps and was super suprised when I heard a bit of the actual song. This phone is great, I couldn't ask for much more.

Summary: take it from a verizon wireless employee..get this phone!
Review: Let's just say that after working at Verizon for a while, that I have come to realize that their phones are pretty shoddy compared to Sprint's. While Sprint's total coverage area of america isn't as good as Verizon's, we're here to talk about phones rather than service (although i could argue for Sprint's superiority)... So after going Sprint, I saw this phone and saw the price. At first I thought I was seeing things, because a feature-equivalent Verizon Wireless phone would sell for easily one hundred more dollars. Well, after the initial shock, I did some research on this little phone, and after purchasing it, verified some things... Incredible battery life (advertised as 3.5 hours talk time, 12 DAYS standby); although I haven't tested these numbers, I've had this puppy on for a long time and have yet to go under two out of three bars of battery life! Compact and lightweight...It's a LITTLE smaller than most phones I've encountered, yet the buttons are not too close together at all for someone with big fingers, nor is the screen too small for people who cannot see well. Nice looking to boot! Definitely the nicest looking phone I've seen in a while (only one that maybe compares is the LG VX6000). It's sleek, and the blue looks really sharp both up close and far away. Now onto the best parts...The features! Ready link...Not that I use it, but it's great to have such a thing included if I ever decide to go ready link. Speakerphone! One of the nicest features about the phone, the speakerphone is VERY loud compared to other phones I have used, and as far as I've been told, I sound pretty decent from my end. Camera...Has a flash, zoom capabilities, the ability to send picture mail, link a photo to a caller ID (so you see the photo when a particular person calls), etc etc. It's got all the camera features you'll ever need! Quality of sound...I don't know what other reviewers are talking about, because whether I'm using my plantronics headset, using the speakerphone, or just talking normally, everyone sounds crystal clear! Very rarely will you get some distortion in the way the person sounds, but that may just be a result of the service and not the phone itself. In fact, I would say that is likely. Key layout...I couldn't rate this high enough! The speakerphone has a dedicated key, as does the camera. The buttons are all spaced out nicely and are big enough for those with big fingers. In terms of layout, this baby trumps all of the verizon phones I've ever used. Menu layout...Superb! Everything is easy to get to, and the most commonly used menu items (settings, downloads, messaging, and contacts) have one button shortcuts built into the phone! The menu itself is really nicely put together, with every setting put in the logical place (unlike many phones i've used, unfortunately). What complaints do I have about the phone? Sometimes the button on the side that's used to answer the phone is a little annoying. Why? Because if you just press it quickly, it'll mute the ring (which is a nice feature). But if you press it quickly, because you're not used to it yet, you'll be sitting there struggling to answer the phone. It's just something that needs some getting used to. I guess the only other thing I could possibly be disappointed about is that you can't have the date and your personalized 10ish-character greeting display on top of your custom background. You'll still see the time, battery life, service, etc, but not those two things. Why????? It should at least be an option to turn on/off. So..to summarize...It's the nicest/most reliable/most fun phone i've owned, scoring high in every category. Battery life A+, features A+, layout A+, aesthetics A+, sound quality A (would be a + if I could verify the distortion I SOMETIMES experience is a result of sprint, not the phone). Oh and one last thing: Unlike most phones you'll buy today, this one doesn't actually seem fragile; it has a very durable feel to it. To be cliched, go get this phone now!

Summary: Great Little Phone
Review: Nice little phone. I find the sound quality to be very clear. To the reviewer who said all their calls sounded like the person to whom they are talking had swallowed a bag of marbles I would have to suggest they take it back to Sprint for a replacement. The only thing I would avoid purchasing is the "Voice Command" service at $5 a month. It actually takes you longer to call using the Voice Command service than it does using the voice dialling already built into the Phone. I love this phone. And the camera actually takes decent pictures.

Summary: A winning cell phone for Sprint PCS
Review: The last PCS cell phone I owned was the venerable SCP-8100 from Sanyo. It was a cute little phone that was the second cell phone from any U.S. carrier that could take pictures. (The first-ever model was the SCP-5300 also from Sanyo, released in July 2002.) The PM-8200 addressed two shortcoming of the 8100: 1) camera quality, and 2) speakerphone. The 8200 sports a higher-resolution built-in camera. Picture quality is also improved. The old 8100's pictures often had streaks and distorted colors. The 8200's pictures look much better. The speakerphone is definitely a great addition for those of us who like to multi-task yet dislike headsets. The volume and clarity could be a little better, but given the compact size of this phone, it's not bad. Reception on the 8200 is great, thanks to its external antenna. Battery life is good, unless you save a lot of things in memory, which depletes battery faster the more stuff it holds. The phone is attractive and can be customized in many ways, not to mention it comes in three colors. To Sanyo, I suggest you use the iPod Mini color scheme, because not many people like big red! In summary, the 8200 delivers lots of improvements over the already-excellent 8100. If you have Sprint or plan to get Sprint, this is the phone. If you want video recording, check out the Toshiba phone for Sprint.

Summary: Best phone yet
Review: This is by far the coolest phone I have seen or have used to date. The features are awesome and you can pretty much do everything except video capture. It has a camera with built-in flash, built in speakerphone and a whole lot more. Definitely worth the $129 after rebate.

Summary: More features than I will ever use
Review: This phone is great to look at, and works like a charm. The talk time allows for long conversations before recharging, the internet and messaging capabilities are very user-friendly, and setting up the phone book, calendar and alarms were a breeze. I hear callers clearly, and love the speakerphone option for hands-free conversations. The standard ringers, games and backgrounds are cute, but there is also a wide variety available for download inexpensively. The phone accepts ReadyLink calls (walkie-talkie capability) which I have yet to try. And the phone can be linked to one's PC for downloading the pics taken with its camera. Did I mention the phone has a ton of memory, too?
I LOVE my new phone. I'm sure if you buy it, you'll feel the same.
