Summary: Pretty neat phone...
Review: ... but like someone else said, it's easy to get nickel-and-dimed by Sprint, especially for ringtones. I'm downloading my ringtones from http://muwap.com for $10/year instead of $1/ringtone, and have a different sound every week :) They just started giving amazon users 10% off with coupon code "amazon". Oh, and at first my phone could play the ringtones but not download them, but the guy who runs that site got the phone working in like an hour.

Summary: Sanyo SCP-8100 - A Pleasant Surprise
Review: Being the type who said he would never have a cellular phone, my wife and I went ahead and took the plunge about a year ago and bought matching 8100s--and let me say we're now the converted. This picture phone has paid for itself in so many different ways, including, but not limited to; international calling plan (SPRINT PCS) which has great quality of reception, been used in several emergency situations, the camera-function has allowed us to send fun and important photos back and forth. The only complaint we have is that the battery tends to die quickly with a lot of use - and it does not give much warning before just shutting down.

Summary: Great Phone!
Review: Great phone!! To get the most out of this phone, you need to get the PCS Vision. I wasn't really impressed with the built in camera feature, but what can you expect? its a PHONE!! Another great feature about this phone is the ability to surf the web. You can visit almost any site with this! Overall, very lovely phone.

Summary: Very good phone
Review: Have used this phone for nearly a year. Excellent battery life, lots of features, I find the menus very easy to use and the overall quality to be very good. Have dropped it a few times, but it still works fine.

Can't understand all the negative reviews. Voice quality is good, Cmaera is so-so, but it's a phone, not a camera. I agree the the web service is slow, but again, it's a phone...And it does work. No, there are no fancy ringers for free, but I can tell when I get a call. I'd buy another!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Really nice high end phone
Review: I am a very satisfied 14 year old. I got this phone 2 weeks ago and I love it. It has so many things you can do with it...Screensavers,ringtones,games... I spent way too much money downloading those things but who cares... Sprint service is a little high though, $50.00 a month for 300 minutes plus PCS Vision. The camera is of higher quality than I thought it would be. Plus if you don't want to buy the PC link cable thing for $20.00 then you can be cheap and take pictures of your computer screen.lol.

Overall a very good phone

Summary: Great phone, crummy service
Review: I bought this phone two months ago. It is very nice as a phone - compact, light, with enough volume in the headset so I can hear it with the car top down (but not at 80 mph!). The keyboard is logical and lightly backlit. All the set up and control functions can be accessed at the press of a button.

It has lots of really nice features. The 1.8" screen is bright and colorful, with good resolution. It has a built in camera which takes fairly good pictures which you can use as your screen's background. You can also e-mail and upload the pictures if you pay for the service. The battery lasts forever. The phone has PCS web access. You can also download games and programs to make the phone more functional. It has a built in calculator. You can use it as a modem if you purchase a USB cable and software (which Sprint no longer provides). You can upload the pictures to Sprint's web cite and then e-mail them. The pictures you take or d/l can be displayed as four to a screen thumbnails.

So, what's the catch? "Sprint" charges for everything. And the contract is for two years. You can upload pictures, backgrounds, ringers and software from your computer -- if you buy for the cable and software, which Sprint no longer supplies, but I can't find software to d/l my pictures directly to the computer. (The cable and software can be purchased separately, but not together! There are three sets of software -- again each sold separately!) If you want access to your pictures, you have to upload them to Sprint's web cite, and then download. Sprint charges for this service. I bought a USB cable to try to use the phone as a modem. I used it for a very short period, and had my phone turned off the next day because I ran up a bill of $80.00. In some ways, it is kind of offensive. At least they reversed the charge because I had two months free trial! And trying to get through to customer service to get them to correct the problem is an impossibility.

Summary: Great phone!!!!!
Review: I don't own this product yet but I've been checking LOT'S fo reviews and looking at alot of pictures. I've been comparing the SANYO at Amazon.com with a lot of other phones and I've noticed that there were some features that the SANYO 8100 is capable of when Amazon indicated that the phone was not able to do. Can anyone E-mail me at Data1880@aol.com and tell me where I can find the TRUE features for the SANYO 8100. Thanx
