Sanyo MM8300 off Sprint's site......

[kappajen]

Hi there everyone. I desperately need a new phone (still have the 8100!) and was looking on Sprint's site and see that the 8300 is not there anymore. Does anyone have any insight on this? Does that mean that something new is just around the corner?

It could mean 1 of 2 things.

1 the phone is out of stock for there online store

or

2. The phone has been discontinued.

If you really want the phone it should still be available at most stores, and at most radioshacks

The phone is discontinued, i guess its replaced by the 3100

Ah well. It always seemed like the oddity in Sprint's lineup. Wonderful replacement for the 8200 though, but the styling left me cold. It's.... plainly... a boring looking phone. The 8100 and 8200 weren't the most exciting, but were in no way as bad as this one.

Good phone though! Great reception, solid software, great build quality and sturdy..

Oops, i thaught the post said the 2300, that was replaced by the 3100, i still think the 8300 was discontinued tho

I talked to someone at Sprint yesterday while selling a 8300 and they said the 8300 and the 7500 have both been discontinued.

and 2300 gets replaced with 2400. 3100 just got thrown out there, no 3000 model for it to replace

[Marlon_JB2]

WHAT?!?!? 7500 discontinued?

Time to get rid of it then! :lol: :D I've only had it 6 months, and I believe it's only been on the market for 7!

this might be why the 8300 is free right now through RS on new activations after $50 mail in rebate. no wonder why a few weeks ago my store had 8 blue 6 red and 4 silver and we shipped about half to stores in FL from here in KY alotta our 8300s. so that all the stores could have some 83s for the big sale thats goin on i reckon.

Right now., i can get that phone for 140$ out the door at RS is that a good buy, looking to upgrade me and my wife to new phones, i wanted the 7500 but no RS that i know of has them in the Atlanta area.

no radioshacks in general got the 7500. for some reason we decided not to carry that model

[tippin44s]

the 8300 is not that bad. its really underated, its basically a 7400 in the body of modified 8200.
