Sprint has announced in its press release the new cell phone from Sanyo called S1 that will operates on the telecommunication company’s network.
The future users will have access to useful services including Internet and e-mail.

Sanyo S1 comes with a nice 24mm speakerphone, Bluetooth wireless, a large and impressive 1” x 1.3” TFT LCD display, and voice-activated dialing capability, but besides these cool features, the phone will bring Wireless Backup for contact lists, which saves data in case of losing the cell phone, it was stolen or suffered important damages.

The ultra-sleek model of 11 mm thick weights just 2.5 ounces and comes in a nice and silky material with a soft-touch finish, measuring 4.4” x 1.8” x 0.4”.
Other features of Sanyo S1 include modem capability, parental controls for restricting calls and Vision services access and productivity applications such as scheduler, to-do list, world clock, stopwatch, alarm.

The battery is a standard Li-Ion with a working time limit of 3.5 hours.

Sanyo launched an ultra-resistant cell phone at CES 2008 and it’s the first phone from the company to adhere to Military Standard 810F for vibration, dust and shock, being designed for people that work in tough environments such as construction and maintenance departments.
It is called Sanyo SCP-7050 and has a textured anti-slip rubber grip wrapping around its back and sides providing the best surface protection.

It is easy to use even if the user is wearing gloves or the outside light is very bright. On the outside it features a 1-inch LCD with a high contrast clear visibility in the sunlight, while when opened it shows a 2-inch color display and blue-backlight keys.



The technologies integrated in this model include advanced GPS-based Java applications, Bluetooth wireless technology, and others. The autonomous GPS captures the location information even if the phone is off the wireless network.

Gearworks etrace, Comet TrackerTM by ActSoft, TeleNav TrackTM and Xora GPS TimeTrack are advanced applications that offer GPS tracking, location-intelligent timecards, job dispatching, configurable forms, geofencing and others.

The phone is available through Sprint at the suggested retail price of $99.99 with a 2-year plan, and provides all Sprint services including the Wireless Backup that stores a contacts backup automatically on a secure Sprint server, very useful in case your phone is lost or stolen.
Sanyo SCP-7050 works for up to 4.4 hours until it requires a new battery charge and comes with an optional USB cable plus Sprint Vision Connection Manager software to add notebook modem functionality after choosing the right Sprint service plan.



"The ultra-rugged, military spec design of the SCP-7050 is a great feature, but its true strength comes from a combination of capabilities that include Java MVM support, autonomous GPS, and enhanced Bluetooth capabilities," declared Andy Kodera, senior vice president and general manager of SANYO Fisher Company's Wireless Communications Division. "Many of our phones already support GPS navigation, but this is really the first rugged CDMA phone from Sprint that supports Sprint's more advanced GPS business applications. The SCP-7050 finally makes these applications available to Sprint's many CDMA business customers who need a durable phone for their field personnel."

NS-ELEX is a company headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, focused on designing, manufacturing, installing and maintaining different IT related systems and electronic equipment.
Together with Sanyo, NS-ELEX has been working on developing the industry’s first earphone microphone for people that work in very noisy environments such as construction platforms.



As the other similar professional devices, the earphone microphone is amplifying the voice and cancels the noise coming from the surrounding environment, allowing the person that wears it to communicate easier and clearer.
It can be used with a cell phone but not limited at this. Its use is extended to radios and other devices equipped with mike slots.

Because it is an advanced device, the standard model is priced at $360 while the wireless version reaches $550, both planned for release in spring 2008.

Sanyo has recently released a new phone that combines the wide range of military standards and can withstand a large number of external forces, being one of the most durable mobile phones on the market.

Sanyo SCP-7050 has an unappealing design but it features a number of elements that make it easier to use under any circumstances. The phone's back is covered in rubber, thus is provides a remarkable slipping prevention.

The sizes are also considerably large, havng 91.4 x 50.8 x 27.9 mm and 116 grams in weight. However, the ultra-rugged design that adheres to Military Standard 810F for dust, shock and vibration certainly makes up for any drawback.

Sanyo SCP-7050 is also GPS-enabled, useful for when there are no solutions to finding your way. Also, it supports GPS applications coming from Sprint, such as Sprint Navigation, Actsoft Comet Tracker, Gearworks etrace, TeleNav Track, Xora and others.

Some security features are also available, such as Limit Use, which allows the user to pre-determine the allowed incoming and/or outgoing phone numbers. Furthermore, Remote Lock permits the user to erase important personal information in case the handset gets lost or stolen.

And that is not all, as the user can browse the web through a WAP 2.0 browser and also make Bluetooth connectivity. Calendar, alarm clock, stop watch and world clock are available as well.

Sanyo SCP-7050 is available for purchase at Sprint for the price of USD 150 with a two-year contract.

TheSanyo SCP-7000 offers a sporty and stylish design with interchangeable faceplates and slip-resistant Dura-Grip trim. The Sanyo SCP-7000's easy-to-use parental controls, which are also helpful for business users, enable restriction of incoming and outgoing direct dial calls and limit access to Sprint PCS Vision and Sprint PCS Ready Link services. Additional must-have features include a high-quality speakerphone, vivid 65K-color internal LCD display and large easy-to-read external LCD display.
