Hey SU! Just got the 8300 through lockline yesterday. So far it`s an OK phone. Well I`m happy that I got it for free since lockline sent me a defective phone. So here is my review.

Screen
It`s on the small size and with 65 k colors, but since it`s small it makes the colors look really nice. ( That`s just me and I guess this is a pro.)

UI
The UI is almost exactly the same as previous Sanyo`s they just design the icons a litle bit differenty.

Camera
This by far is the worst VGA camera I have seen on a phone. For some reason it always looks pixelated. Tommorow I`ll try when it`s really bright at my internship at the garden.

Speaker
Like Jake15 said in his VS. review the speaker is half duplex so two people can`t talk at the same time. BOOOOOOOO!!!!! Really hard when you are arguing.

The MEdia Player
Um........... it`s okay but not worth my money(well the Sprint TV stuff)!!! :lol:

The changeable faceplates are really nice. I also like the ACC ringers a step up from QCP. The Green LED`s are really ugly. So since I was bashing on this phone like no tommorow I want to add that they are a lot of stuff that I have`nt tried out so I`ll keep you posted. Plus people who get it for free like me, It`s AWESOME!!! :headbang2 LMFAO :lol:

Also the reception is quite good! I get reception where my A680 and 5500 would`nt! I also like the echo for when you dial a number, the lady says it right after you dial it. It migh get annoying but hey. The Vision is pretty fast though at times when you are downloading large files it may take up to a minute. And they put the earpiece jack on the top now unlike the 5500 which was all the way in te bottom, but did`nt bother me because I barely use one anyway. That`s my little update.
