Cingular Go Phone: Sprint PCS SCP200SILVER Sanyo Flip Phone with voice-activated dialing (silver) Review

It's got great reception.My husband has a phone that cost twice as much and his reception is hopeless, when out we use mine the most.I also use the alarm clock a lot when away from home, it's good not having to take an extra alarm clock.My son keeps getting hold of it and treats it roughly but its quite strong, despite being dropped and thrown several times it still works fine.Finally, the texting is great and easy to use.The only thing I am not sure about is the internet function, it seems to take ages to get on the net and I find it difficult to navigate -but then I don't really need it on the phone as we have it at home.

Overall this phone is highly recommended.

Product Description:
With a brilliant color screen, support for polyphonic ringtones, a speakerphone, and more, the svelte Sanyo SCP-200 makes a great entry-level phone for those who want a simple mobile companion. It's also the perfect way to take advantage of Sprint's basic wireless services.
Design
The SCP-200 follows the tried and true clamshell form factor. The large 128 x 128 color screen features support for 65,000 colors, while the phone's center selection button allows you to control the phone's menus and features. A 2.5 mm headphone jack provides compatibility with most handsfree headsets. Meanwhile, on the outside of the front cover, you'll find a large speaker for the phone's speakerphone functions.

Calling Features
The SCP-200's built-in address book allows you to assign up to 300 entries, each storing seven numbers, with a total capacity of up to 500 numbers, and 300 email and Web addresses. As mentioned, polyphonic ringtones are included, and you can choose from eight multi-chord melodic ring tones and eight traditional ring tones. There's also a vibrating alert for when you want to be discreet. Plus, the handy speakerphone makes it easy to talk to callers without having the phone to your ear. The speakerphone also doubles as an audible voice machine that lets you screen your calls. Perhaps most importantly for users in rural areas, the SCP-200 is a tri-mode phone, meaning it can operate on Sprint's digital PCS network, as well as analog networks that serve many outlying areas. Lastly, a voice dialing feature makes it possible to call your contacts by simply speaking their names.
Messaging and Tools
If you need basic messaging capabilities, the SCP-200 has you covered as support is built-in for sending and receiving SMS text messages. T9 text entry, a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built-into the unit-- a plus for text messaging users.
A number of handy software tools are bundled with the SCP-200, including an alarm clock that can be set one time or daily, a calendar with a to-do list and scheduler, a calculator, and a world clock. You'll also get a voice recorder that can record up to 72 seconds of voice data or call memos. What's more, the SCP-200 features an embedded global positioning system (GPS) chip necessary for using 911 emergency location services, where available.
Custom Graphics
The SCP-200 lets you choose from a variety of different wallpaper and backlight colors to customize your display and make it unique to you.
