+ REVIEWS:
PCmag reviews the Sanyo SCP-8400, they rated the phone 4/5 and write:
“Sanyo phones are well regarded for excellent reception and loud speakers, and the 8400 is no exception. In fact, reception is impeccable (though as with all EV-DO phones, there’s no analog band), and the earpiece and speakerphone both get blaringly loud without noticeable clipping or distortion…A powerful speaker also makes the 8400 a dandy music player. The phone plays MP3 or M4A files ripped at any quality up to 320 kilobits per seconds and stored on a MicroSD card (a 64MB card is included, but you can use cards of up to 2GB).”
CNET reviews the Sanyo SCP-8400, they rated the phone 7/10 and write:
“We tested the dual-band (CDMA 800/1900) Sanyo SCP-8400 in San Francisco using Sprint’s service. Call quality was quite sharp with great clarity and volume. We had no trouble understanding our callers, and they reported no real issues in return…The good: The Sanyo SCP-8400 offers a decent range of features in a satisfactory, customizable design. Call quality is good, too. The bad: The Sanyo SCP-8400’s display is average, and its picture and video quality were unimpressive.”
Infosync reviews the Sanyo SCP-8400, they rated the phone 79% and write:
“Though it suffers from a feeble Web browser, multimedia offerings on the SCP-8400 are good thanks to Sprint’s online content. Plenty of tunes are available from the Spint Music Store, and the player can show artwork and group music into playlists. Sprint TV also works well: shows look good, with a little blockiness on some programs, and the phone can display video full-screen in landscape view, revealing a nice, wide picture. Sirius offers 20 music channels through Sprint’s Power Vision network, at an additional cost, of course, and these sound great, although track titles and artist listings would have been nice.”
