I just ordered this from Sprint today. I REALLY wanted the Instinct, and can do my upgrade on 1 line this month, well I got on the phone to order, and I upgraded this phone to both lines (still free, at this site I found out why). I hope the reception is good, I guess the only downfall is the non-integration of social networking… I really wanted that in my next phone. I do have 30 days to try it, I will let you know what the results are!! Both of us can be picky!!

I just got this phone today and I agree with Shannon, the picture does not do it justice at all. In fact, it has a lot of features including GPS navigation and has amazing reception like someone on here said. The camera has really good quality and it is easy to handle. The picture on here looks like someone took it with an awful cell phone camera so that’s why it looks really shitty.

@ox
You’re wrong. This phone is legit and launches on Sprint this month.

ox Said:

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.

This is definitely NOT the case, as one hit our servers (UA and UA prof follow)during CTIA last week. Nothing in the .xml file manages to explain the raggedy anne battery case, however.

This is a good step for them, more needs to be done because Sprint/Palm/Sanyo are all on the downside with one good thing coming that has nothing to do with Sanyo

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.

Since the phone is supposed to be 1xrtt the ptt must be Readylink, hope Sprint has a smartphone with DOrA ptt before the comp

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

This is nothing to write home about, now if it were the Pro 900 that’s a different story

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

Has the HTC Touch Diamond/Fuze started a trend of geometric-patterned battery covers?
If so, this is a fail.
