I GOT PICS... too bad it's just a dummy...

BTW: The hinge does snap.

EDIT: Will reduce image size later tonight.

ROBBY_G · 06-28-2006, 01:22 PM

Do you work at RS or Sprint. How did you get the dummy phone?

zackrhodes · 06-28-2006, 01:29 PM

nice pics k_watson!
can you take one next to the razr that shows how wide they are?

thanks

K_Watson · 06-28-2006, 01:32 PM

sorry, I don't have the dummy, it was at a meeting, and the sprint rep caught me and made me pass it on.

But I can tell you, it is very close to the RAZR in size.

**Ovaltine224** · 06-28-2006, 03:14 PM

it looks REALLY nice!! i just hope the features work great! mayb this means there will be a future line of Sanyo slims that increase in features!!

K_Watson · 06-28-2006, 03:45 PM

BTW I was told by the sprint rep that there WILL NOT be a series of Katana's. When I told him about how the site showed three swords and that a Samauri carried three Katana's, I was corrected by one of the other associates from a different store who knows Japanese history... He told me the three swords shown on the website are not all Katana's, only the longest on is. The middle one is a type of sabre and the short one is a dagger. So I wonder who is right? We'll just have to wait and see if there be three Katana's or one...

Run4urlife · 06-28-2006, 03:58 PM

Can you describe the charging port? Is it like all sanyo models or since it is slim, like the A900. Anyy chance it is a mini-usb port charger? Thanks in advance.

r0fl · 06-28-2006, 04:10 PM

the 3 katana idea is really far fetched.

K_Watson · 06-28-2006, 04:10 PM

The dummy did not have a port that I could see because all the rubber covers were glued shut. Sorry. My guess is that it will be the standard Sanyo port (A02 to us Shackies)

r0fl · 06-28-2006, 04:22 PM

Finally got some spare time today to post this ...so here you go peeps

ROBBY_G · 06-28-2006, 04:22 PM

what other info. did they give you man.. spill the beans dude. tell us all that you know..like release date and other shiznit!!!!

r0fl · 06-28-2006, 04:25 PM

all the beans are there man..you just gotta search for them

drezden · 06-28-2006, 04:31 PM

In reply to the comment on swords and the possibility of three katanas, it is correct that in the set of three only the longest is the katana.

The standard set of a samurai swords:
1. A katana is a long sword worn through a belt, also called "daito"
2. A wakizashi is a short sword for close combat, also called a "shoto"
3. the shortest blade is a knife used for sepukku (ritual suicide), also called a "tanto"

Maybe in the future they'll produce an ultraslim candybar phone with EVDO called the Sanyo Wakizashi.

To close the set they could make a Sanyo Tanto that has EVDO, video, and a small blade for cutting your gut open after you shame your family and have to restore your honor.

r0fl No, venti is twenty. Large is large. In fact, tall is large and grande is Spanish for large. Venti is the only one that doesn't mean large. It's also the only one that's Italian.
