Sanyo 8300 GUI

pizzaboy · 09-01-2005, 10:11 PM

I am getting a Sanyo 8300. Can someone tell me what the GUI is like? Is this a good phone? It is hard to find pictures on this phone. Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to think of a word to describe this monstrosity. Woops, there's the word.

The GUI is what you would expect from Sanyo, the same boring thing.

pizzaboy · 09-01-2005, 10:31 PM

Okay.
so is it like the 2300, 4500, 4900, or 5500?
Thanks again

A beefed up 8200/7400 describes the hell you will see when you flip open the screen.

Hey, cool off. Its not bad, just nothing special.

freeza · 09-01-2005, 10:35 PM

Agreed. Apologies for the damnation of the 8300.

It's okay for its price range.

pizzaboy · 09-01-2005, 10:35 PM

i haven't seen the 8200 or 7400. I just saw the 2300. Is it like that? Is it really that bad? I am scared to get this phone now.

I tell ya what, my favorite UI is the a880.. wow, that grid one is awesome.

The 2300 only has one similar to the 8100.

The 8300 has icon/text.

Yes, the A880's GUI is pretty awesome. I was playing with it the other day in the SPCS Store and I found myself pulling the credit card out of my wallet to buy it. Before realizing what I was doing, I was already at the counter asking for it. Luckily someone had yelled to their parents "LOOK A PINK KEYPAD MOM" then I snapped back to reality.

Can someone post some pictures of the GUI. I read somewhere that it was like the 4900 which I could not take. When you say icon/text what does that mean?
Thanks again

That's awful.

tuolumne · 09-01-2005, 11:06 PM

7400s UI is like the 5600s...

pizzaboy · 09-01-2005, 11:10 PM

so let me get this right. This 8300 phone is a bit half baked? Is it just awful?
It is on the way from Lockline. Should I Ebay it?
