The Sanyo 8300 has some issues!!!

**New91** · 08-20-2005, 12:29 PM

First the media player keeps freezing up and now it won`t let me download. I know most of ya`ll may disagree but Sanyo has problems because lockline kept sending me sanyo`s for my sammy`s and I have nothing but trouble with them. Though I did love this 8300 it is really getting on my nerves now!!

Yeah. We've been playing with one for two weeks and i haven't seen one crash. Maybe you just have a bad one? Still, i'll keep an eye out for this problem.

When I tested one out, every time I tried to load it for the first time after turning on the phone it'd freeze once, then be fine again until I powered off the phone and then back on, at which time it'd freeze again once.

Oh no, the 8300 is a buggy POS and now should be avoided at all costs.

the 8300 is a great phone, and has a bunch of helpful features, such as scrolling through missed calls on the external screen with the volume controls, great call clarity, and it comes in different colors

I had one for 2 weeks and it never gave me a problem.

Hold on, was that just a pro-Sanyo comment from someone who owns a Samsung?! I should probably go have my head examined.

Your obsession with Samsung is scarey. Have you ever considered seeking professional help?

chillywilly · 08-30-2005, 10:58 PM

So what's the concensus on the 8300. A friend of mine is wanting to use it for data with his laptop on the rare ocassion. He's got the 8100 now and would like to stay with Sanyo.

Any help or feedback on this one?

**Deval** · 08-30-2005, 11:07 PM

I dont think #777 works on it

Has to get another brand.
