Sprint users have an affordable messaging phone option with the Sanyo Innuendo SCP-6780. With a full QWERTY keyboard and a satisfying feature set, the Innuendo's price of $49.99 after rebates and a two-year contract with AT&T should be enough to attract consumers looking to jump into a new phone to satisfy their messaging and calling needs.
The basic features of the Innuendo include a speakerphone, a calculator, an alarm clock, a stopwatch, and a countdown timer. Organizational tools include a calendar and a voice recorder that can be used to remember any important thoughts or reminders.
You can store up to 600 contacts in the Innuendo's phone book. For each contact, you can input multiple phone numbers, email addresses, notes, and more. You can also separate contacts into different groups and pair each with a photo and a ringtone. Should you worry about the possibility of losing your contacts, you can use Sprint's wireless backup service for extra peace of mind.
There are 39 polyphonic ringtones that come standard with the phone. If you want more options, you can download other ringtones from Sprint. You can also download other customizable options from Sprint such as wallpapers, greetings, and more.
Beyond the basics, the Innuendo also supports USB mass storage, voice commands, and PC syncing. The phone comes with Bluetooth, so it can be paired with hands-free car kits, stereo headsets, and more. Those who take frequent road trips will find the integrated GPS to come in handy. When used with the Sprint Navigation service, users can receive voice-guided directions and other pertinent local data. The GPS can also be used with Sprint's Family Locator service to keep a tab on the current locations of loved ones.
Browsing the web is done via a WAP 2.0 browser that displays condensed versions of websites. The browser offers access to news and also has Google search capability.
Messaging options begin with standard text and multimedia messaging. Text messaging is threaded and displays conversations in a chronological, chat-like manner that is easy to use when compared to traditional texting. Mobile email is available as well, which allows for access to POP3, IMAP4, and Microsoft Exchange accounts. Work calendars from Exchange and Lotus Notes can also be synced to the phone.
Entertainment options include a music player that allows you to listen in shuffle and repeat modes, view album art, create playlists, and more. The player has an airplane mode for use in-flight. Airplane mode essentially shuts down the phone's cellular functions so that you can still listen to music without having to shut the phone entirely off. Music downloads can come via the Sprint Music Store.
Video options include access to the Sprint TV service, which provides popular programming on demand. Gaming fans can enjoy the three demo versions of Pac-Man, Uno, and Guitar Hero 5 that come loaded on the phone. The full versions and other games can be downloaded at a fee.
Several apps come with the Innuendo, including Sprint Football Live and more. Social networking junkies can get their fix via apps for Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter. The social networking apps allow for status updates on the go, as well as access to other functions that the sites are popular for.
Last, but not least, is the integrated 3.2-megapixel camera. The camera can take quality shots in seven different resolutions and a variety of other settings. It can also record video in three different resolutions. When finished, you can share the photos and clips with others via multimedia messaging.
