Reported shots of Sanyo SCP-2700 emerge, headed to Sprint
What happens when you cross a blurrycam special with a complete lack of image editing skills? Behold, an appalling 8 bit-looking Photoshop job that reportedly depicts Sanyo’s upcoming new addition to the Sprint lineup. Of course we can understand why this Sprintusers forum member would be overly cautious but dude, seriously. Moving on, Sanyo’s upcoming offering allegedly sports a QWERTY keyboard, 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth and integrated GPS — Palm Pre eat your heart out! Ok so it might not be the most impressive offering Sprint might issue this year, but text-hungry users seeking an affordable entry-level QWERTY handset will surely give the SCP-2700 a gander. For the time being, no release date or pricing info is available. Hit the jump for bigger shots.

Good to see Sanyo is breaking out of the flip phone business model and releasing a nice qwerty phone, hopefully this has the Sanyo quality we’ve come to know and love.
Hahaha that phone looks like a generic drug store universal tv remote. Welcome to 1999!
Frankenphone?
I think I had this phone when it was called the Nokia E62
A dedicated “Smiley Face” button?
WOW is that phone ugly. Look at the back of it!!! BLEH!!! Ah well, thats what you get with Sanyo.
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! *BARF*
but awesome try Sanyo.
why ya gonna buy this look at this my berry i got a nextel berry and i got a curve berry ima construction worker….look at me durrhh
1.3 camera?!
The keyboard is the same as Nokia e71 isn’t it?
Posted from BGR Mobile (iPhone).
Has the HTC Touch Diamond/Fuze started a trend of geometric-patterned battery covers?
If so, this is a fail.
Back in the Day it seemed like Sanyos where the Only phones Sprint Sold and they were all flips at that. Sanyos where always Quality phones though.
Its not bad. If Sprint can sell this for under $150 with a Contract they might give teenagers another option to the Rant & Rumor and probably give them the look like Mom & Dads Blackberry or Treo
my phone is on its last legs..this looks great to me..its true!!
Good god that is ugly. Sanyo had a good run, but their time is passed.
That battery cover looks like a denim patchwork quilt my grandmother made
looks like centro’s lil cousin
Sanyo hopped out of the phone biz so this ‘prototype’ is a complete SHAM! You can tell that the upper half is part of a Palm Centro and the rest I don’t know where it comes from but it’s ugly.
LMAO. It looks like it was run over by a Bus backing up.
I have held the Sanyo 2700, Dont get to excited PDA users its basically the sanyo katana lx with with a full keyboard, it has a great feel to it and from what I was told it will be free.
keyboard looks like the kogan agora’s
That picture is……….*pontificates for a moment*……….”TERRIBLY DISTURBING.” Lol.
This is nothing to write home about, now if it were the Pro 900 that’s a different story
This phone will be offered presumibly by June and will be offered for under $19.99. This is designed to compete against the Rumor. This won’t do anything 3G it’ll be a QWERTY Katana LX like Big J said. But it is a nice change in scenery for Sanyo
Since the phone is supposed to be 1xrtt the ptt must be Readylink, hope Sprint has a smartphone with DOrA ptt before the comp
I have been working for sprint for just about 8 years now. Sanyo phones are hands down the BEST in reception. They are designed to work with Sprints towers and network. Unlike the other manufactures.
Sanyo is the ONLY phone that myself and my techs will ever have.
We work on phones everday, and Sanyo are the ones with the least problems.
