4.7 out of 5
By: Rich King on Wednesday, February 18, 2009From: Belleville, IL (United States)
Experience: 2 Years
Pros: Display, Screen is vivid and amazing,
T9 Texting is very nice,
Call quality and reception is superb,
Opera Mobile works flawlessly,
Very sturdy/rigid phone,Cons: No EVDO, Wifi,
Bluetooth doesn't transfer files etc,
VGA Camera, lolSummary: Phone can take a beating. 2 Years of it having sudden stops on the ground, wall, table...my son even chews on it and throws it around (he is now 9 months old). With it closed the flip part can slide a little bit..maybe 1/20th of an inch back and forth. However once opened up for use the phone is as rigid and solid as the first time I used it. It stays open, it takes a very aggressive flip to close it from the open position.
If your just looking for a phone, to use as a phone. Maybe some texting(T9 works well for the most part). This is an excellent phone to get. Reception and call quality are astounding compared to my buddies iPhone or sisters Centro.

Pros: Bluetooth enabled, good quality speaker phone, sturdy, nice big buttonsCons: Battery lifeSummary: While this phone is not so great on battery life, the pros of it seem to outweigh this one con. There is good voice quality and excellent antennae reception. The buttons are nice and big for the less delicate dialers, and the phone is sturdy and not easily broken if dropped. If considering this phone, factor in a car charger as well.

By: Max French on Thursday, September 21, 2006From: Nashua, NH (United States)
Experience: 1 Months
Pros: Large Bright Screen and workes just great. This is the best phone I have ever owned. Easy to use and very stylish Cons: None at this timeSummary: I have had this phone for about a month now and it works perfect. Excellent sound quality gets reception even in areas with little or no cell coverage. The speakerphone on it works better than my desk phone. I only have to charge mine about every three days it holds the charge that well, and I use my phone a lot. I download and text message and call all the time. The phone is thin, yet, sturdy and well built. I have taken great pictures with it and I am very happy with this phone. My office mate bought the Verizon Chocolate and had nothing but problems with it, mostly the phone would use up the battery without him using it. He brought it to the Verizon store and they gave him an extended battery and even with that the phone would use up the charge without him using it at all. He then bought the Verizon Razor and it does not even come close to the Katana. I own two Katana Phones and gave one to my brother who lives in an area with weak cell coverage and he has no problems with his Katana. Sanyo built a great all around phone.

Experience: 20 Days
Pros: Thin, easy access to use the speakerphone, vibrant display, sound is always great, and the reception is as well. The phone looks sharp and feels very sturdy.Cons: The camera is not what you should buy this phone for. For a new Sprint phone I thought it should have had EV-DO. Summary: I am really glad I waited to re-new my contract and upgrade my phone to get the new Katana. It's new to me and I like that I haven't seen everyone else with it already. The features that it has, which are a lot, work well and I am able to access all of them easily.
