'having said as much, i do like this phone very much. i previously tried out the samsung a900 for 2 weeks and thought that the design of the samsung was missing two crucial elements: memory and battery life. sanyo got both right in m1, and more.'
'Sanyo uses that gigabyte as a springboard to give the phone as much multimedia juice as possible.'
'as today's phones are so slim and slender in comparison.'
'Don't get me wrong - at roughly twice the thickness of your standard "slim phone," this handset bulges noticeably in the pocket of all but the baggiest pants. '
'Design: Despite the phone not being a higher end model, the overall plastic construction feels sturdy and well made, unlike the Razr V3m, and is available in a choice of three colors (Black, Pink, and Midnight Steel).'
'The Sprint Vision service gives access to web based email accounts, WAP sites, and games, ringtones, and screensavers for download.'
'I also like the RAZR's metallic feel more than the Katana II's plastic.'
'Though the SCP-3200 does not support high-speed data access with Sprint's EV-DO network, the device is still compatible with traditional Sprint Vision services like web access, and accompanied with the internal GPS unit can be used with Sprint Navigator and Sprint Family Locater.'
'The handset is the first from Sprint to support Qualcomm's uiOne theme technology, which Sprint is creatively calling 'Sprint Themes.''
'While we have already cited the lack of a high-quality screen, which obviously affects the video playback, we were also disappointed with the buffering of streaming video when attempting to replay a clip, as well as the mismatched sound and video, which never quite seemed in sync'
'The camcorder mode takes 15- to 30-second, 176-by-144 videos of the usual poor camera-phone quality.'
