Sanyo M1
Is it worth the extra $100...
I recently went into my local Sprint store to buy a new phone. They didn't have the M1 on display, so after browsing for a while I narrowed it down to between the Sanyo 8400 and the Samsung A900. I ended up going with the 8400 for the MicroSD slot (I already had a spare 1GB MicroSD card) and better battery life.
I'm reasonably happy with the 8400, except for one thing. The picture quality of the built-in camera is rather disapointing. Even when I set it to "Fine Quality" the pictures I take are cluttered with what I can only describe as "off-color pixels".
I really don't expect to be using the camera very often, but when I do I'd want at least a reasonably decent quality picture. Otherwise, why am I even paying for a high-end phon...

yes, and i only say this because the 1.3 megapixel camera only works well on a Samsung phone.(i had the same pixelation problem with my nokia 6133, my friend has the same problem with the fusic) you should get the Samsung M610. same price, but you get the micro sd slot and the better 2 megapixel camera. i chose the M1 because i don't have a sandisk card and i can't afford one right now either. it works great, i was not impressed by the 8400 at all, the mp3 player confused me for some reason... but i think it really is worth the extra money

I have owned this phone for almost a full week, and must say, That I am pretty pleased with it. I am coming from a Sanyo 7500, which was an awesome phone. My first choice was the 8400, for both the cost, and the availabilty. But the M1 came out ahead after seeing the pictures it takes, and playing around with the media player. So it doesnt have a removable card, I personally don't care, especially, because the phone will support USB 2.0, which makes it faster than my card reader would be anyways. In my opinion the phone is worth the extra hundred bucks, especially considering I paid 350 for my 7500 less that a year ago. I do wish they would release some accessories. I have to holster the phone in a 5 dollar Target case until a good leather c...
