In-depth review of the Sanyo MM-5600 high-end clamshell CDMA camera phone for Sprint.

The Sanyo MM-5600 for Sprint is a high-end feature phone that, while packed with features, still falls short as a power user's dream phone. However an excellent camera, beautiful screen, memory card slot and more make this an excellent imaging phone. It has enough other features to appeal to most other users as well.

How Do ALL of these features WORK????? EXPLAIN!!!

How do you do all of this? I mean the videos on the phone? where do you save them to? and if you save them to the MiniSD then in what folder. AND how do you view them? I have a 512Mb card and I want to know how to do this stuff! AND Eric Lin or whatever his name that did the artcle said you can play MP3's as ringtones so long as you DO NOT save them in the media folder of the MiniSD.....So where do I save these MP#'s and HOW? are there any other great features I missed tell me ALL you can. I'd like to get as much use of my 465 dollar phone as I can I bought it for all the cool stuff and now I want to use it!!

Great phone but still needs a lot of improvement.

I own the MM-5600 and I really like the phone. It is the best phone I have owned and it is great for what I need it. I am extrememly dissapointed at the lack of a low light mode for pctures but the pictures during the day look great. No more me wishing I brought my digital camera with me because atleast with this phone I can take desent pictures. I absolutely love the media player. I have loaded many Simpsons, Family Guy and Will & Grace Episodes on my 512MB miniSD card and lots of MP3's which I encoded to a smaller AAC file to allow more storage however I wish that the MP3 player had some sort of a playlist feature and although you can fast-forward your songs and videos you cannot rewind without the clip or song going back to the beginning....

Article Correction!

That article wasn't that impressive. Just reading through it once I noticed two important flaws in the author's description of the phone. First of all the author mentioned that the phone could only be turned up or down with the arrow keys on the side of the phone, this is not true. Secondly and most importantly, the author mentioned that the phone could not be synced with a PC, that is funny because the phone actually comes with a PC Sync cable.
Ironically the author had a column about the sound of the phone, but never mentioned the quality. The sound quality of the phone is excellent! If the author thinks it gets distorted on the highest volume, he/she has a defective device, or a poor ringtone file. There are also other things that ...

Nice review, but major ommission

I appreciate the in-depth review of the 5600, but how could you fail to mention the MP3 capability? I consider this to be a major selling point of the phone, as

1. It's the first non-pda MP3-capable Sprint phone since the Samsung Uproar, like 5+ years ago

2. For many, device consolidation is a serious consideration

3. Aside from the higher res screen & camera, MP3 & card storage is the major advantage between it the 7400. (Plus higher price and less durable body)
