| chomeo's Full Review: Sanyo SCP-5000 |
I seem to get a lot of that type of comments now-a-day. In fact, many times when I talk to people, I often catch their eyes glanced down at my cell phone. You can't blame them, the Sanyo SCP-5000 is a very attractive phone - the color, the size, and when you flip the phone open, the COLOR LCD.
Aside for the above, there are a few gripes I have for Sanyo to improve.
1. The battery life - the compromise of compactness really kills the battery life. I find myself always having to recharge the phone at night. And of course, whenever I forget, I find my phone in the morning shut off - out of battery. Now I sometime charge my phone during my commute to work. Thank god for the car adapter.
2. Cost - I received this phone as a gift - my poor friends... For $499, it's just too expensive. Sanyo is targeting the early adopter anyway.
3. Phone use - on the freeway sometimes it is difficult to listen - even at maximum volume. It could be just me, but I find the Nokia's better.
other than that, I think this is a nice phone. There are a lot of features that I like on this phone, like the address book, the wireless web, the calendar, and the easy navigation. However, I probably wouldn't buy it because of the cost.
