PDA Mobile Phones

The Sanyo SCP-2700 (See CNET Review or the Mobile Crunch Review) will be available May 10th, 2009, according to Sprint, who is going to be the only network that offers this new messaging candy bar phone. It’s not the best Mobile Phone out there, not even the best candy bar Mobile Phone out there. It’s coming soon, though, and the price isn’t too expensive (if you can wait for the rebate and sign-up for two years as a new customer.) Even at just under $80, though, it’s cool that it includes features like a QWERTY and threaded messaging (which can make your life a lot easier if you message a lot!)

Sanyo SCP-2700 Quick Stats:

• Dimensions: 4.3″ x 2.4″ x 0.6″
• Weight: 3.4 oz.
• Screen: 2.2” 65K color TFT LCD (320×240)
• Camera: 1.3 megapixel

The Mobile Phone is available in two colors – Deep Blue and Impulsive Pink. Mobile  Crunch has a pretty humorous look at the “Impulsive” pink name. (Which is an odd name if you stop and think about it.)

“Although we have found an increasing number of older adults wanting to join the texting generation, one in 10 adults over age 30 say they don’t text because they’re not sure how,” Kevin Packingham, senior vice president of product development and technology for Sprint, said last month.

“The SCP-2700 is the ideal transition device to ease these adults into easy messaging, as well anyone who is already using these services. With Sprint’s Everything Messaging Plan and the low cost of the device with a full QWERTY keyboard, we’ve virtually eliminated any barriers for adults looking for a simple messaging device, small businesses looking to outfit employees with an inexpensive but feature-rich phone or parents buying their child’s first wireless phone.”

That sounds all well and good, but the keys are rather tiny on this phone. You get what you pay for, though, I guess. If you have tiny fingers or probably aren’t going to text that much anyway, you might want to check this out as a cheap way to get into text messaging.

If you have the SCP-2700, we’d love to hear from you. Leave a comment below and let us know what you think.
