Okay, so we know that we shouldn't call a phone "cute" especially if we want men to buy it but we have to tell you that this is truly an attractive phone.

It adds to the Vision portfolio that Sprint has and the phones come in a myriad of colors.

If you are familiar with Sanyo's Kantana line, you will not be disappointed in these new ones. What is so cute about it is that the phone has a mirrored finish and a translucent OLED LCD glow so you can see your caller ID or check the time without the glare from the phone.

Features of the new Katana LX and SANYO


These have all the features of other Katana LX and SANYO prides itself at providing the most needed features that customers need on their wireless phones. Some of the features they include on the Katana LX include:

  • Email and Web access
  • VGA camera
  • Speakerphone
  • Bluetooth® technology that has been integrated
  • Internal colorful LCD screen

The new Katana LX by SANYO comes in three great colors that they have named Elegant Pink, Pacific Blue and Liquid Graphite -- now don't you agree that this is cute? With all of this cuteness you are probably wondering whether it is a real phone and whether it does what you need it to do. We can tell you that it does. Some of the features that it has for entertainment and for productivity include:

  • GPS enabled support for the Spring Navigation that give you driving directions, turn-by-turn driving as well as traffic information.
  • SMS Voice messaging as well as text messaging
  • Voice activated dialing
  • Phone as Modem capability
  • Wireless backup so you can manage all of your contact lists in case you loose your phone in any way
  • Restrict and Lock so you can limit access or restrict calls on your phone.


For entertainment you have options for a VGA camera, Picture caller ID and you ca also customize your favorites menu and download various ring tones, screen savers, games and various applications.

With so many features it will be difficult to work because there is so much to do with this phone. Many people are already using the other Kanata line because SANYO makes sure that it is user friendly and family friendly. They say that it is affordable but they do not say how much it will cost your family. This is something you will just have to check out.

It does use a standard and rechargeable Lithium Ion (Lion) battery that gives you continuous talk time of about 4.8 hours. This may not mean a lot to some people but if you like to talk, this may be a phone to consider.

AT&T always attempts to bring their customers the best service they can and bringing the new Katana LX by SANYO is another way that they keep up their commitment.
