Sanyo SPC-2700: A Poor Man’s Blackberry

Cell Phones — 31 March 2009

sanyo-scp-2700-phone

In the market for a QWERTY keyboard infused phone but don’t wanna sign your checkbook away? If you hold out until May 10th the Sanyo SCP-2700 can be yours for $30 after a 2-year contract signing and $50 mail-in-rebate from Sprint. Sure, the SCP-2700 is far from luxury, but it ain’t a complete slouch: 1.3MP camera, threaded text messaging, Bluetooth, Sprint Navigation and is available in both Impulsive Pink, with a subtle floral overlay, and Deep Blue, which has a tactile square designer pattern on its back.

Grew up back East, got sick of the cold and headed West. Since I was small I have been pushing buttons - both electronic and human. With an insatiable need for tech I thought "why not start a blog focusing on technology, and use my dislikes and likes to post on gadgets."

Lol, poor man’s Blackberry… well, I’m a 20-year old girl and I can’t wait for the phone to come out! I think I’ll really like it!

I have this phone and love it – though it’s so new that I mobile17.com doesn’t know it exists and the ringers that come with it are a little grating.
Russ

Great phone. Browser is good. NAV works great. Can not find USB driver to try and copy my own ringers to it. Still searching…

Drew

Hey Russ, if you find this, will you let me know? Windows Vista can’t find it – thinking of asking my engineer friend to have a look too. If I come up with anything, I’ll fill you in.

It is not that great..trust me i have it..especially if you get it trough sprint!!Dam sprint is crappy!!! Its bluetooh doesnt work, it does not support text messages with ringtones attached, and ulimited text plan sucks!!..it wont let you recieve most pic messages unless you add internet to your plan, although you have unlimited pic messaging!!..seriously i dont recomend this phone you might be very dissapointed!!!

This phone is quite nice. The screen is bright and the images are sharp. You can also download J2ME programs into it like an mp3 player, navigation, and text/pdf files to view. You can also print you pictures right off the phone using bluetooth.
