Most Helpful Customer Reviews of the Sanyo Katana DLX SCP-8500 Silver (Sprint)
Customer Rating: 4.8

Absolutely fantastic; it's got everything! Also, it is so small and compact, I'm afraid it will get lost (I'm not one to use the belt clip that came with the case that was ordered separately).
Customer Rating: 2.5

I am more disappointed with the company LetsTalk than the phone they lied to me about several features when I asked if the phone had they said yes, the phone works ok for the most part but the battery life sucks. All and all will probably not shop with LetsTalk or recommend them to anyone and will not buy another Sanyo.
Customer Rating: 3.3

This looks like a decent phone. Never really got to use it, though, because Sprint has my plan so screwed up that it won't work. My phone # belongs to someone else. My account # doesn't exist. I can't do anything without my PIN #, which they never gave me and won't because I don't know what it is. It would have been quite helpful when I received my phone to also receive information about Sprint, my plan, etc., but I never did. I don't know if that was Sprint's fault or LetsTalk. All I know is I am extremely upset. And it's funny, for someone with no account, I received my "overdue" notice in the mail today from my bill!

I am just really loving my new Sanyo SCP-8500, and I just want to tell you all at Let's talk that I appreciate all you did to help me get this phone and I look forward to contacting you in the near future about all my wireless needs. Berdetta Adams

This looks like a fairly decent phone. Pretty color, the wording could be a bit bigger on the menus. Unfortunately, I have not been able to use it. Sprint screwed up my phone # (It all ready belongs to someone else) and now they are telling me my account doesn't exist. But they still want their $100! I simply will not pay for a service I am not receiving! I am going to try and switch carriers. This has been too much aggravation!
