Amazon.com Product Description: The Sanyo Katana II mobile phone enhances the spirit of the original Katana with a sleeker shape, a radiant new midnight steel finish, and a host of refined features. It operates on Sprint's North American CDMA voice and Sprint Vision network, which provides Web access as well as email and text messaging capability. This flip phone also features a 21 MB memory--significantly increasing the capacity for games, ringtones, and applications from the original Katana--a VGA camera, Bluetooth connectivity for communication headsets, and optional GPS service.

Retaining its predecessor's thin profile, the Katana II adds a fashionable radial finish.

The Sprint Vision network gives you the power to access Web sites, view your email, and send a variety of text and multimedia messages. Sprint Mobile Email enables access to email from popular providers simply by entering username and password with no downloads required. You can also access Web-based email from such services as AOL and Windows Live as well as chat on IM networks. The T9 predictive text entry technology is built into the unit, which makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets--a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.

Measuring just 0.6 inches thin, the Katana II sports a bright 2-inch internal LCD that offers a 240 x 320-pixel resolution and 262K colors, which also features IPS (In-Plane Switching) technology for wide-angle viewing with superior brightness and contrast. It's supplemented by an exterior TFT LCD (80 x 80 pixels, 65K colors), which enables quick viewing of the time, caller ID, and more.

This phone enables you to store up to 300 contact entries with 500 total phone numbers, 600 email and 300 Web addresses. It has a call history of 20 outgoing calls, 20 incoming calls, 20 missed calls, 60 recent calls. A built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear, and advanced voice activated dialing makes calling your friends, family, and associates easy (up to 30 entries). Simply say the name or number of the person you want to call and the number is dialed automatically without using the keypad. It also offers PIM organization applications (calendar, to-do list, world clock, calculator, and stopwatch), 4 distinct vibrating alerts, 72-chord polyphonic ringtones, and a 2.5 mm stereo headset jack.
