Sanyo Katana Eclipse (Sprint Nextel)

I had the original Katana then went from there to try alot of other cell phones. I keep coming back to the Katana. Its easy to use, navigate, comfortable in hand. When setting up preferences, its amazing how many choices it offers. The Eclipse doesnt seem much different than the earlier styles/functions but thought i'd try the latest model just for the heck of it. Its sleek, good looking and the functions/capabilities are everything I could want in a phone. The speakerphone, volume, quality of calls is great. The only thing I would love to see is a full keyboard and its possible with a flip phone (LG Lotus) but I know that would compromise the small size but surely with the constant tweaking of phones, this could be done in the future. A+++++++

The Sanyo Katana Eclipse is the best phone for my business needs, no other phone I know is like this one, flexible, I can screem my calls even in silent mode without programing it , attractive, everyone I know has something positive to say about it.
The Katana Eclipse

I recommend it !!!

The Sanyo Katana Ecplise has been at once my favorite and most hated phone. The style, setup and features are wonderful and easy to use. I have now had two Eclipses and while I love many aspects of the phone, I am ultimately forced to give it a poor rating due to problems with the screen. I initially considered the first phone to be a single defect and purchased another one not realizing this was not an isolated incident. On both phones I have had, the screen goes out. It first begins with a small flicker on the main screen, then freezing on both screens and finally the screens turn to a blank white display and never recover. I noticed another review on here where someone mentioned the same problem and I talked with yet another person in a Sprint store who had the same issue. Sanyo needs to take ownership of this problem and issue a recall. I have talked to Sanyo and Sprint and neither will be accountable for this obvious defect. I've been a Sanyo customer for the better part of a decade and loved all of my previous phones, but this issue has driven me away from them and I will not purchase any more products from Sanyo. I understand that problems arrive in products. My issue is with Sanyo refusing to recall the phones when it is clear that several customers are experiencing major inconveniences with their products.

This phone is great and has the best features. With the music and Sprint TV and Radio. It's great for workout ao chilling out.

I waited almost 2 weeks, still had not gotten the item I had paid for. Very disappointing. This has been the worst transaction I've ever done on ebay.
***Here is the kicker!!!! The guy just sent me a message telling me the item he sold me, HE NO LONGER HAD!!!!***

i like this phone a lot. Sanyo always seems to make quality phones and this is no exception. it has everything you need plus when someone calls the lights on the phone look like fireworks going off.

It's a great phone. the style and illuminations are awesome. Easy to customize. The only thing i didn't like... never mind I like the whole thing.

I had the original Katana and decided to upgrade to the Katana Eclipse. I love the phone for the most part but I have had some issues with it. The main screens freezes sometimes so when I flip it open the screen is white, and sometimes when I press the side keys to see view the time on the sub screen it does not illuminate. I have had to get a new one through Sprint but I had to pay my deductible and my new one does the same thing and I don't feel as though I should have to pay when it seems to be a problem with the phones it self. I love how you can set the illuminations to different callers or functions on the phone. Overall I love the phone but the two issues I have are just annoying.

It's a great phone. Dislike neon lite stays on when chraging phone may bother some people at night. Neon lite make it a great gift for your kids.
