Sanyo PM-8200 / SCP-8200
compare to 5500/PM4500
Ok, I JUST received my new PM4500 and love it, but if the 8200 is better -- I still have a little time to exchange. What are the differences? Seems like just camera placement.
Is there a performance difference in Vision, text, browser, etc?? Seems too new for the usual comparisons online.
Thanks!
the 5500 has the blue "elegant" backlight, the 8200 has the green keys, which are ok but you know...
the 5500 also has a button on the side of the phone that enables u to answer a call without opening the phone. wonderful feature that im not sure the 8200 has
also which u probably already know, the 5500 has the video recording capabilities where the 8200 just has a camera with zoom& flash.
the 5500 is slightly bigger but still small compared to other phones like the samsung a600.
i think that the color display is the same quality. oh one more thing...the 5500 has 3.2 hrs for the standard battery and the 8200...

Additionally, the 8200 is $280 total. So it's $130 after the rebate.
there are 3 big differences with the 2 phones
1 the camera. the vm does video and they are placed in diff arias.
2 display the vm 4500 has a larger display the 8200 has the same display size as the 8100 but it is better resolution then the 8100
3 the 8200 has a stupid red light that comes on when the camera is on. (so you can't snap a pic with out sone one knowing)
