I Love my Phone!!

Overall Rating:
5 out of 5
By: Nay Jones on Tuesday, October 31, 2006
From: Ewing, NJ (United States)
Experience: 2 Years
Pros: This phone is awesome. I dropped it almost a million times while getting out of my car, and besides a couple scratches, the screen never cracked.

Cons: No cons on the phone. More so the service I have with the phone

Summary: The phone is fly. It has speakerphone, voice dailing, camera (with a zoom!), a camcorder. All the works. Only thing its missing is the blue tooth capability. But thats ok. That bluetooth piece costs $50 by itself.

Nice Phone

Overall Rating:
3.5 out of 5
By: Jeff Smith on Thursday, August 24, 2006
From: West End, NC (United States)
Experience: 4 Months
Pros: Bright image when using the camera. Good voice quality. Nice bright display. Phone has many features such as airplane mode, calculator, alarm clock, etc.

Cons: Moderate to short battery life, especially using the camera. Cannot hook up to compter to use as a modem.

Summary: Overall pleased with the performance of this phone. The quality of the pictures, given its reslution, is good. I use this for business purposes and the phone's features are very useful for traveling. Small and light weight with good voice quality. Easy to hook up, using a cable and BitPim to edit phone address, download pics, etc. It is a little picky where you place the earpiece to get the best reception.

New Phone

Overall Rating:
4.3 out of 5
By: Toni McLeod on Monday, August 21, 2006
From: Mesquite, TX (United States)
Experience: 12 Days
Pros: It has the video capability and the ringer is loud enough to hear even when it is not set on high

Cons: Only has availability for 9 speed dial numbers, and not 100% compatible with universal headsets

Summary: My husband picked this phone up for me and I love the look, the video is easy to use and I like having the option of using the speaker phone. Unfortunately it is not easy to use with the headset I prefer. The button on the cord does not work with this phone and doesn't allow you to use the headset button to answer calls, switch between calls, or end calls. It would be nice with a better selection of ringers and more speed dial numbers. My previous Sanyo held 300 and I do miss that feature as it was easier to remember a speed dial number than to go through the menu to find a contact.

SANYO MM8300

Overall Rating:
3.5 out of 5
By: Brad Mitchell on Monday, August 21, 2006
From: Great , NY (United States)
Experience: 90 Days
Pros: vibrant color screen, 2 way paging , compact flip, comfortable alpha.nemeric layout

Cons: Limited talk time, limited memory, ac adapter jack problems

Summary: For Sprint this is one of the top choices in cellular phone selection. It offers the added flexibility of 2 way paging. The screen offers vibrant color and it is comfortable and not cumbersome to hold.
The phone does have limitations in that memory and talk time is limited. With the prior model, I experienced a charging problem with the ac jack and had to return it. I was told that some times, this phone can experience this problem. If it does, then exchange it right away to avoid aggravation.
