Sanyo Katana Phone Black Sprint

Offering a seductive, sophisticated look, the svelte, affordable Sanyo Katana LX has an elegant mirrored finish with a translucent OLED display glowing through to subtly show the time or incoming caller ID. In addition to Sprint Vision services for surfing the Web and downloading email, you'll also enjoy GPS navigation capabilities for accessing the optional Sprint Navigation turn-by-turn direction service. Other features include a VGA camera for capturing still images, Bluetooth connectivity for handsfree devices and using your phone as a modem (optional service required), access to personal email and instant messaging services, and up to 4.8 hours of talk time.

Sprint Service
This GPS-enabled phone provides optional access to Sprint Navigation for driving directions on your mobile phone--by voice and onscreen. Along the way, turn-by-turn directions will be announced in a clear voice and displayed on your phone. For example, Sprint Navigation will say, "Go 1.2 miles and turn right on Elm Street." As you approach the turn, you will hear, "Turn right on Elm Street." Sprint Navigation also provides proactive traffic alerts with one click re-routing. And it's easy to find restaurants, banks, cafes, hotels and more from over 10 million points of interest across the U.S. Sprint Vision provides innovative wireless services like web access and email and text messaging capabilities. Plus, with the Sprint National Network, you get the nationwide coverage and excellent voice clarity. The Restrict and Lock function allows the user to restrict calls and limit access to Vision services--valuable for parents or business managers. For instance, you can restrict incoming and outgoing calls to only those numbers held in the internal phonebook, lock the camera and any pictures saved in the phone, and provides up to three "special numbers" that are always available. Phone Features
Curvier with rounder edges than the other models in Sanyo's Katana line, the Katana LX is highlighted by the unique external OLED display that glows through the mirrored-finish and completely disappears when not in use. It displays current time/date, signal strength and battery life--but not caller ID--and it also provides whimsical, short animation clips for added fun. The internal 2-inch display has a 128 x 160-pixel resolution and 65K color depth. Below the screen you'll find a circular five-way navigation pad that's complemented by a round frame of buttons, including a dedicated camera key, back button, and two soft navigation keys. The send/end and dedicated speakerphone keys reside between the navigation area and and the alpha-numeric keypad.
The phone has a small 7 MB internal memory, which cannot be expanded. The phonebook provides a total of 300 contact entries, with the capability of saving up to 500 total phone numbers and 600 email and 300 Web addresses. Other features include a speed dial list of up to 98 numbers and a call history of the most recent 60 outgoing/received/missed calls. Handsfree communication is easy thanks to the integrated speakerphone. This phone also provides Bluetooth wireless connectivity (version 2.0), and includes profiles for communication headset, handsfree car kits, and file transfer. You can connect your laptop via Bluetooth and enjoy dial-up networking--surf the Internet, send email, and access files from a server (requires Phone As Modem Service Plan). The VGA camera can capture still images up to 640 x 480 pixels (with additional resolution options for 320 x 240 and 160 x 120 pixels), but it does not record video clips. Other camera features include a digital zoom of up to 16x, three quality settings, five picture modes (Normal, Beach/Snow, Scenery, Night/Dark, Soft Focus), brightness controls, multi-shot capabilities, multiple shutter sounds (including silent mode), and a self-timer. Once a picture is snapped, you can snazz it up with a variety of fun frames and play with the color tone. Other features include:
  • Wireless Backup to manage contacts list in the event that the phone is lost, stolen or damaged
  • Text and SMS Voice Messaging: Instantly send and receive SMS Text Messages across the room or across the country, anywhere in the Sprint National Network. Send voice messages to any mobile phone or email address. Just select a recipient, record a message and send.
