| firesgar's Full Review: Sanyo SCP-4500 |
The Sanyo SCP-4500 is by far the best cell phone I have ever seen or used. Although it is the very first cell phone I have ever owned, I have used many different models that my parents and friends own and they just cannot compare to how great this cell phone is.
I recently felt I needed to get a cell phone and chose Sprint for my plan. When I went to the Sprint store, I asked for the salesman recommendation on a phone to purchase and he pointed me in the direction of some Nokia 600 series or something. As I was looking at it, the Sanyo SCP-4500 caught my eye and I knew that I would be buying it after seeing how small and lightweight it was and how many features it had to offer.
I will take a minute to list its immensely great number of features now. It has a calendar, a phone book that holds over 100 names, a calculator, 2 slightly boring games(crab catch and slot machines), voice activated calling, speaker phone, web browsing with chat (AOL IM) capabilities, custom environment types, many different ringers, back lit function that makes the screen glow when it is activated, key guard, call history for past 10 missed, incoming, and outgoing calls, roaming capability and it is both analog and digital. If I left out any of the great features it has to offer, please forgive me, because there are just too many to remember.
While I have owned this phone, I have noticed that it is pretty durable, because I have dropped it many times onto the pavement of my driveway and all that happened was a slight crack in the protective screen and no internal damage. Also, I have found that it gets incredible reception when the antenna is up and I have had trouble getting a reception only once when I was in the mountains in Arizona.
The only feature I haven't mastered on my phone is the voice activation feature that truly will make this cell phone hands free. Oh yeah, I forget to mention it has a headphone jack for you to plug in you headphones. Also, the battery is extremely long lasting and I have not found myself needing a second battery ever and I have never run out of power.
Overall, I would have to say that this phone is the best phone on the market and I have tested out pretty much every Nokia model there is and this phone still beats it out. So if you are looking for a phone and you are a Sprint customer, look into the Sanyo SCP-4500 and you won't be disappointed.
