Sprint’s finally ready to release the Sanyo SCP-8400. The new phone has a high resolution 2″ QVGA screen, can play MP3/ACC, can take pictures at 1.3MP, and of course, is Bluetooth capable.
The main feature that should compel the younger audience is the phone’s ability to download and stream music and video from Sprint’s Power Vision network–I’ve never used the service, but I’ve heard good things. With its 1GB of storage and three color options, maybe some kids will actually buy this thing, because, you know, kids love colors.
Sanyo SCP-8400 For Sprint [MobileWhack via
I’ve watched lots and lots of mobile television on tiny screens from all the major cellular operators. There’s no doubt — the best mobile TV service is via Sprint.
It offers the widest selection of programs that also includes live programs, such as Fox News and Bloomberg. I think Sprint is the only carrier in the U.S. to offer live broadasts, and that’s a major advantage.
Oh - one disclosure: I’m doing a bit of consulting/writing for Sprint about camera phones and I test lots of their handsets (as well as handsets from all the major cellular operators).
But my comments still stand: The best mobile TV service in the country is via Sprint.
