Sleekly styled with fashionable touches, this Sanyo Katana 8500 DLX mobile phone retains the thin profile introduced on the original Katana phone and is updated with a new luxurious platinum ice finish. It operates on Sprint's North American CDMA voice network, as well as on Sprint's Mobile Broadband Network (EV-DO), which enables you to quickly access audio, video and data applications. This full-featured flip phone also features a 1.3-megapixel camera/camcorder, multi-format digital audio player (compatible with downloads from the Sprint Music Store), MicroSD memory expansion, Bluetooth connectivity for both communication headsets and stereo headphones, and a battery with talk time of up to 4 hours.
Supporting the EV-DO high-speed data standard, the Katana DLX is fully compatible with Sprint's Power Vision service. With Power Vision, you can download and stream high-quality video, straight onto your phone. Enjoy full-color video clips or live TV of the latest news, sports, and entertainment from brands you know, like CNN, Fox, The Weather Channel, NFL Mobile, and more. Power Vision also serves as a portal for enhanced games. Where coverage is available, EV-DO connectivity provides average download speeds ranging from 400 to 700 Kbps, with peak rates up to 2 Mbps.
Sprint's music service is another EV-DO-powered service that makes the Katana DLX all the more desirable. With the Sprint Music Store, your phone is a music player, letting you buy, download, and then jam out wherever you are with new songs or old favorites. Offering a growing selection of more than 1.6 million songs, the store provides you two copies of each song--one for the phone and another for the PC, as well as the ability to burn songs to a CD using Windows Media Player. Save your songs to a memory card with a capacity that's right for you. You can even pause to take a call without missing a beat.
Measuring just 0.6 inches thin, the Katana DLX features a stunning radial finish in champagne and a unique reverse hinge that opens to an ideal ergonomic talking position. It 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.
