Forgot, but as to the original question on the top post; I have used several samsung's (2000,3500, 6100, 8500,n200)--then by chance bought a 4700 used, for the speaker phone--it appeared to work better than any other sprint phone I had owned--i have read this may be due to the new 1g tech stuff or whatever; also own a 4900 and a 5300 (still believe the 4700 best)-

Finally the question: do the new samsungs perform as well as the sanyo's. The sam's have some features I miss--but the main priority is a phone that works. advise, comments?
