Thank you, this is encouraging. Maybe one of our friendly Sprint employees who are in the know will shed more light, thanks again.

I dunno, but maybe they could put an external speaker on it thats louder than a butterfly fart.

This is supposedly a picture (although I am VERY skeptical of the authenticity).

All I know for sure is it's slated for a June launch. But, my Sanyo rep either honestly knew nothing about it, or was not letting on if he did.

Thank you, that is also encouraging. Im currently with Verizon and just waiting for my contract to end in May. I would like to see an upgrade to the Katana since I like the style of the phone but it is sub par in certain areas i.e. camera. June will be a good month to switch if it actually launches. Thanks for your input!!!!

the white katana was brought into select "clearance" stores last month.

as for the Katana 2, I have heard about it. but nothing on it.

one can only speculate what features it will add, my guess is 1.3mp camera, memory card slot and video recording.

i doubt that it will have a media player and ev-do, since the katana was brought in as a low to mid-range phone with a higher end LOOK.

And dont forget the high end price.
279.99 is about 80 bucks too high for that phone... hell the M500 is only 229.99 right now.

i agree, i always wind up pushing the customer toward the m500 or the razr 🤨 only time i push the katana is when the customer refuses to change their features (the ones you lose when you upgrade to an ev-do phone)

You should be slapped for pushing the RAZR.
Id rather sell the CDM120

believe you me, i feel evil for selling one every time, but there is a moto contest going on that i wanna win (i want a free xbox 360 😁 ) and you do have to admit that side by side, the razr is a better phone feature wise than the katana. personally i would rather sell the m500)
