I do believe Sprint has the slickest, most diverse lineup of handsets available. I'm very impressed with the looks of these four phones. Very cool.

Eh, the 2400 is pretty much the same phone we've been seeing for years, with the same cheap plastics/feel of the 2300 Sanyo.

The katana is also made of 100% cheap plastic 🙄

The 2400 is a phone created for parents to govern their childrens phone habits. Its made for a child.... not adults. But for a kid phone its pretty nice. Better than those 4 button phones other carriers have.

That's not entriely true.

The outside is plastic, and I'm not impressed with the overall build quality.

...however, the inside housing (around the display and keys and such) is made with high-quality magnesium, exactly like the RAZR.

I see.... but you are talking about a very small difference... plau... my opinion... the katana looks better... guess I wont really know how it feels in comparison until I play with it.

I'd wait to see a real model. The 9000/8300 dummy clicks too....not the case

huh, my store had never recieved dummies for the 8300 or the 9000, but thats pretty interesting. Guess we'll see when the final product comes out. I did take the dummies apart and put the silver inside of the pink phone and put it into the blue of the blue/black model, and i like that much better than the blue/black, but thats just me...
