New Sanyo Katana Spotted on FCC Site

May 24, 2007, 3:10 PM by (staff)

Sanyo is taking another stab at the Katana clamshell, which is likely bound for Sprint. The Sanyo SCP-6650 Katana II is the same thickness as its predecessor, but shrinks 2 millimeters in width and 4 millimeters in height. It features a larger external display which is positioned slightly lower on the front of the phone, and a 2.5mm headset jack, based on the pictures. It carries over the camera and Bluetooth and has an internal antenna. Little else is revealed in the filings, and neither Sprint nor Sanyo have discussed this new phone yet.

Does it fix the speaker volume.

This phone the 6600 had a known issue with a low speaker volume. 😢

Hope this is one of the main things the 6650 will fix, also will this phone be EVDO?

As a side note

Every time I glance at the name Katana, I think it says Katrina which is kinda confusing 👀

it reminds me of the character in the game Mortal Combat (only spelled slightly different)
KITANA WINS!
FATALITY! (with the Kiss of Doom)
