Summary: Awesome Phone!!!
Review: This is an unbelievable phone. Sanyo has done it again. My previous phone was the Sanyo 4900, and I was very loyal to it. I had never had any dropped calls or problems with the battery, but I wanted to upgrade. I decided to stick with Sanyo, since I had not had any trouble whatsover with them. I am glad I did.This phone is great. First of all, the design is so sleek. It looks very sheik. The screen is very large, with instensely crisp and vibrant colors. The camera is awesome, the quality is better than any average digital camera. Navigating through the very colorful menu is also eye candy. Not only is it very easy and self explanatory, the pictures that accompany the menu are very pleasing to the eye. My favorite thing, is that you can assign a different ringer and picture to each and every number in your phone book. I have taken pictures of my family and friends and have assigned it to their number. I see their picture when they call. If you want an awesome phone, with great features and great functions, then this is the phone for you.

Summary: Not worth the money
Review: This phone doesn't take a licking and keep on ticking. I've had this phone since Dec 02 it was ok in the beginning but after 2 months I started to have problems with this phone. I couldn't hold to signal even with all the bars lit up I had to exchange it several times and sprint service is not the greatest because you know it may be the largest all digital network but it the greastest all digital dropped calls provider also Don't get this phone after all even a $100-150 it to much to spend on this phone and I got it at $400

Summary: 5300
Review: This phone is great. The only problem I have with it is the leather carrying case. I bought one from sprint that did not fit well so I bought another from body glove which fit well but it did not allow the phone to completly close which can cause undue battery loss. With the car charger I've never had to worry about having a dead battery. The other thing about the case is that you have to move it out of the way with your finger when taking a picture. Not a big deal because your finger is right there anyway. Overall great phone, no major problems from sprint. PCS vision downloads can be expensive but there are sites you can get downloads for free. 3Gupload.com

Summary: The best out of me cellphone history
Review: When I was a Sprint customer, I was very satisfied with everything this phone had to offer. The phone always kept a decent singal, and the extended battery actually had an extented life unlike others from different manufacturers. After 6 months, I lost it in a shopping mall. Fortunately, I had insurance and Sprint replaced it with a Sanyo 5500. Yeah the 5500 was blue, Readly Link enabled, and had a video camera, but it gave me a whole lot of drama along with Sprint's terrible customer service, which resulted into me cancelling my contract. It is a shame Sprint discontinued this model as opposed to the Sanyp 8100. For those who already have or intend on purchasing this phone, use it until it cannot be use anymore before upgrading to a new model.

Summary: As of today, the SCP-5300 is my all-time favorite.
Review: When my fiance and I started with SprintPCS, we both chose Sanyo vision phones. This was in July of 2003. I chose the SCP5300 for it's "manlier" look and she chose the SCP8100. Both of these phones have performed so incredibly well that I almost feel I am ripping SprintPCS off. Both models boast exceptional service at both my house (Hinsdale, IL) and my work (Wheaton, IL). The phones have an incredible amount of memory space, and both offer more features than any other phone on the market (and I can honestly say this after months of research). The SCP8100 has one advantage over the SCP5300 in that it allows you to send a recorded message to another vision phone. This is a fun feature, but the 5300 includes a much more attractive menu, better picture quality, a flash and zoom. The phone is AMAZINGLY durable, and even after being dropped several times on the driveway, it shows no sign of a scratch. The screen is also impressive - it is 1/2" or so larger than the 8100's, and avoids dust or face-scratches. I would recommend the 5300 for those who are willing to spend more money. I recieved a discount that brought the price of the phone down to $129. My fiance's discount brought the price of her phone down to $99. The 5300, with the improved camera and little extra features here and there, is WELL WORTH the extra $30. SprintPCS, as a service, has been the root of many complaints before. I, personally, have had few problems with the service. The fees are priced better than the other leading phone services, and the vision internet is free (with 2000 or more minutes). Vision is amazing - like owning a laptop, not a phone... I find that I can spend hours playing around while on the train, or at lunch. SprintPCS is a PCS service, so the clarity of the calls is superior to all analog services, and I have never experienced a dropped call, although other people on this board apparently have. There is one thing about SprintPCS that I will complain about, though. The customer service SUCKS. I called customer service numerous times to ask about special deals, and the ignorance is incredible. I had to repeat my long story to almost 5 people, and I found that each of them had someone else to transfer me to, no matter what. Sprint really needs to clean up their act in this aspect - It's HELL to make a call to them, but, hey... if it keeps angry customers from calling... Anyway, I HIGHLY recommend this phone in all it's goodness. In my opinion, it is the top of the ladder when it comes to the cell phone selection today.
