Currently a Sanyo VM 4500 user

Hello all.

I am currently a Sanyo VM 4500 user. I am looking to purchase a new phone and a friend suggested this site.

Was looking at the MM5600, but can not see to find one. What is going on?

What about the MM9000?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Welcome To SU! If you want a 5600 you should look in the trading post but there are some guidelines. Specualtion on the 9000 is that is basically a 5600 + EV-DO. BTW, Sprint discontinued the 5600, but I`m sure they have it in the stores still.

Thanks, but not having ANY luck with the stores.
I guess I wait for the 9000

I'm a 4500 user too and want a 5600 or 9000. Problem is they are gone and 5600 scamming on Ebay is getting to be daily. I guess we have to wait until the 9000 comes out. Has anyone confirmed that the 9000 with have BT? Seems to be a mixed bag of answers on this.

From what I heard, it doesnt have BT...lets see what happens?

vm4500 here as well, I am going to wait for the new stuff to come out, I would suggest that as well, since all the new stuff will ultimately be better :)

Hey, what's the upgrade on the 4500? The guy from the Sprint store said that he'd order me a new one (broken hinge among other things), but I thought they'd stop carrying it and didn't have any more refurbished ones.

[hermangarza]

maybe an 8300 they almost look the same

[Genesyxx1]

OH.. not really that fond of the 8300 but I guess I'll have to deal. Thanks for the info.

I got another 5500 as my replacement a couple weeks ago when my hinge went crazy.

[hermangarza]

5500 is a great phone, only problem with mine is rediaing.

[Joe84Fl]

That was a problem on my first 3 5500's...so far it's lucky number 4. This one also lets the RL button be used for Voice Memo when RL is not activated, where my first 3 5500's didn't.

Hi, my 4500 had a broken hinge and no insurance, sigh... I called them about that hinge everyday for three months and the rep said they would have to see my phone about a replacement. I walked out that day with a new blue mm8300. I really love it, but the bad news is my daughter wants a new phone now. I guess I will have to show her these new phones that all the SU's are so excited about.
