I DON'T LIKE THE KATANA DLX!!!!

27 Jul 2008 LOVELYLADY

4.8 out of 10

I HAD THIS PHONE FOR 1 DAY AND SENT IT BACK. I HATE ALL KATANA PHONES. THE FEATURES AREN'T GOOD, YOU CAN'T RECORD VOICE MEMOS AND MAKE THEM INTO RINGTONES, AND YOU CAN BARELY HEAR IT WHEN IT RINGS. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER KATANA OF ANY KIND. RESTRICTING YOUR PHONE 2 "CONTACTS ONLY' DOESN'T MAKE SINCE 2 HAVE ON THE PHONE WHEN IT WILL RING ABOUT 10 TIMES BEFORE GOING 2 VOICEMAIL WHEN THE "CONTACTS ONLY" FEATURE ON THE PHONE IS DESIGNED 2 LET CALLERS WHO AREN'T IN YOUR CELL PHONEBOOK AND UNWANTED CALLERS 2 BE SENT STRAIGHT 2 VOICEMAIL AFTER 1 RING. I LUV THAT FEATURE BUT ON THIS PHONE IT SUCKS AS WELL AS OTHER FEATURES ON THE KATANA DLX AS A MATTER OF FACT ON ANY KATANA OR SANYO PHONE LOL!

LOVE THIS PHONE!!!

I got this phone in March and I'm so happy. When I started my service with Sprint over 5 years ago my very first phone was a Sanyo and so was my 2nd.

I strayed away on my 3rd phone with Sprint and got the Samsung Upstage - BIG MISTAKE! I got the DLX because I couldn't take the Upstage one day longer.

Sanyo always delivers - at least for me. I won't ever - ever, ever, ever - get anything the rest of my stay with the Sprint network.

The design is great and stylish. There's a lot of memory. The media player works wonderful. Internet connection is fast - gsm and umts. Sound quality is great too. The only downside is the way the flip was made - it's just a little different. But I haven't had any complaints from anyone who calls me or when I call them.

Thanks Sanyo!!

I bought a KATANA DLX at full price just 2 months after joining Sprint.

21 Feb 2008 Much better than the RAZR it replaced

8.8 out of 10

When I went back to Sprint, I decided on the MOTORAZR since it seems like everybody has them, so it's a good choice, right? Well, it was a bad choice. The Sprint RAZRs have battery life problems. 2 days on an extended battery (or less than 1 on the standard) WITHOUT using it is bad. I went to my local Sprint store about 2 months into the contract and paid $330 + $20 for a holster to get a phone that actually works. I love the KATANA DLX and will never buy a moto again!
