Chances are pretty for high for you to successfully fail when trying to make your kid a surprise at his graduation party and giving him/her, as a present, a Sanyo cell phone, even if it’s the latest to come into the spotlight. It won’t matter very much, because your kid will tell you that a Sanyo-branded device was not his/her wildest dream.

This is the result of the fact that Sanyo isn’t very well known in the cell phone market, so it’s not able to compete against many other famous companies. Unfortunately, clamshells like the Katana series, that managed to create sensation when they appeared, didn’t manage to change people’s perception concerning the Sanyo cell phones.

However, the latest device to hit the American market these days is the SCP-2700 which available right now via Sprint on an exclusive basis. It’s just that you’ll be able to find it at stores from all over the West Michigan and Northeast Indiana.

The features of the SCP-2700 include a full QWERTY keyboard, threaded text messaging, a 2.2 inch color LCD screen, a 1.3 megapixel camera, access to Web and email, an integrated speakerphone, a dedicated emoticon key that will help teenagers insert the smiley faces they like most when writing text messages or emails. Parents, on the other hand, will be happy to experience the Bluetooth connectivity, the Sprint Family Locator, Sprint Mobile Email Work and the GPS Navigation functions.

“This phone makes it simple for families to stay connected through voice, text and email”, says William Derrick, the General Manager at iPCS Wireless, which is the Sprint PCS affiliate in Michigan and Indiana. “Its compact design, full features and great looks will appeal to teens and sophisticated users alike. Best of all, at its low price point and inexpensive rate plans, we’ve eliminated any barriers for people seeking a simple messaging device”.

Available in two color versions, Impulsive Pink and Deep Blue, the Sanyo cell phone can be bought for free in a package of two (two devices, you got it right) with new-line activations and signing a contract agreement for two years on two Individual Plans with messaging or a Family Plan, also with messaging.

Cool name for a col cell phone and a superb design are encountered at the new model from Sanyo released at Sprint telecommunication company.
Sprint says in its press release that this is the first cell phone featuring unique lighting effects and high-speed wireless transfers via the Sprint Mobile Broadband Network, while the user is the one in charge with assigning preferred illumination for each of the contacts in the phone book.
