Even though I loved my 8300, this phone took it to school. This phone does come with more goodies than other phones I have went through like mini-sd cards, multimedia, and powervision. But it does have a drawback due to it's size, and also there is no blue tooth available on this or the 9000 which really concerns me. But if you can get your hands on this you won't regret it.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=632 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=632&r=14797#review14797 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=632&r=14797#review14797 Fri, 27 Jan 2006 00:07:02 GMT <p><i>gods Gift submitted this review of the Sanyo MM-5600:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I love Sayno it's the best yet out.

For anyone who may be getting a leftover of these phones or getting one off of ebay or somewhere else.. This is a good phone. Its packed with features. It has Ready Link, Camera and Camcorder, and MultiMedia services. I found this to be a good pro to the phone. And it has a beautiful screen. The main con is the camera. If its is just a little bit of low light-it sucks. Theres just no other way to say it. The size for me was too big also.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=632 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=632&r=13105#review13105 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=632&r=13105#review13105 Tue, 15 Nov 2005 20:45:53 GMT <p><i>CingularRetail submitted this review of the Sanyo MM-5600:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Its official =( The 5600 has been discontinued. If you can find one GRAB IT, ITS AMAZING. Best phone I have seen out there and I work for Cingular. Only thing it lacked was bluetooth and I don't even like using headsets. The memory card you could hack and get free GPS Navigation, awesome video playback controls I had all 3 chappelle seasons and 6 South Park seasons on my memory card.

A very nice improvement over the 5500, w/ all the features that I'd care to have in a phone.<br /><br />PROS-<br />Beautiful display<br />Camera w/ macro mode looks great <br />90 Min. Video!!<br />Memory card slot (mini sd up to 1gb)<br />MP3 Player sounds great<br />GPS Voice Navigation<br />Voice activated dialing/ready link<br />Ready Link<br />Quick Web<br /><br />CONS-<br />No MP3 player controls on the outside<br />Pics in low light not too good.<br />No Bluetooth (but, have yet to be impressed w/ bluetooth)<br /><br />Excellent reception in Tri-Cities, WA<br /><br />Overall, a great improvement. Sanyo seems to impress me w/ every flagship release they do, something I can't really say about Nokia/Motorola/Samsung. If you're in the market for a Sprint phone, and you want a high end phone that's gonna last you a while, I gotta suggest the Sanyo MM-5600!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=632 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=632&r=11688#review11688 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=632&r=11688#review11688 Sat, 03 Sep 2005 02:54:22 GMT <p><i>niktrek submitted this review of the Sanyo MM-5600:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I believe this has to be one of the best phones that Sanyo has put out. I have never had a phone with better signal strength retention and clearer calls. I bought it mostly for the camera and it high quality screen. The only thing I don't like is that they didn't wait and give the phone blue-tooth and EVDO. I am considering getting the MM-9000 when it comes out even though I just bought this phone. <br /> When it comes to a phone is it almost perfect but when it comes to multimedia is leaves to a little to be desired. Thats why I gave it the rating I did. You cant beat the ability to use it like jump drive with its USB mass storage ability. The is the first phone I have seen with a link cable in the box and a stereo headset. Its expandable ram and other features make it a must have for phone gamers and those who want a darn good camera in a phone. <br /> For those who have the 7400, WAIT for the 9000 and get that phone. Don't waste your time on this phone because the 9000 with beat the 5600 with blue-tooth and it should be Sprint's first EVDO clamshell. BUT remember that all these add-on like games and media player phone features will cost every one extra money so consider weather or not you will use these features before getting one of these phones.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=632 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=632&r=11491#review11491 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=632&r=11491#review11491 Mon, 22 Aug 2005 21:26:02 GMT <p><i>Magnus6153 submitted this review of the Sanyo MM-5600:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This is the best phone ever made! I ahve had it 6 months and WOW, I have never seen a better phone then this one. Anyone that asks me what phone to buy I tell them the Sanyo MM5600, why wouldn't I? Like I said before the best phone ever. The screen is awesome, the net is fast and the MP3 player is the best. With the memory card you can't go wrong! Let me say it again the Sanyo MM5600 is the best phone!!!!!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=632 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=632&r=11221#review11221 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=632&r=11221#review11221 Sat, 06 Aug 2005 15:30:38 GMT <p><i>MissDesi submitted this review of the Sanyo MM-5600:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone is just awesome.<br /><br />Pros:<br /><br />*Crisp, clear color screen.<br /><br />*Phone has a great look<br /><br />*Mini SD card, that can be upgraded to up to 1Gb, or maybe more. It's like having a MP3 player, phone, and web all in one!<br /><br />*Ringtones are super clear! CD quality!<br /><br />*The games for this phone rock, the quality is awesome.<br /><br />Cons:<br /><br />*The camera only takes good pictures if the right lighting is available. Flash doesn't help at all.<br /><br />*Same for the camcorder, and if you try to get a close-up, it looks all pixelated.<br /><br />*Signal is ok...nothing great, could be better for the price this phone is!<br /><br />*This phone looks great, but it is a little big, kinda long and thick.<br /><br />*Phone is overpriced.<br /><br /> Overall, it is a great phone. I've upgraded my MiniSD card and when I go walking I clip to my belt or put it in my pocket and just jam to my music, the headset has a neat little button, so when I get a call, I can easily switch to the call, then back to my music. I can check my email, check my ebay, go on AIM. It's great.<br /> I love this phone :]</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=632 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=632&r=10895#review10895 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=632&r=10895#review10895 Fri, 22 Jul 2005 10:03:17 GMT <p><i>macking301 submitted this review of the Sanyo MM-5600:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>The Sanyo MM-5600 is so good that you may never realize just how good it is.<br />The phone is slim but not too small and ultra refined. It feels like a fine instrument and works that way.<br />The flip works smoothly and the screen is the best I have ever seen!<br />The speakerphone is both loud and incredibly clear. Having owned the Sanyo RL-2500, I am very familiar with why J.D. Powers rates Sanyo the #1 cell phone brand. <br /><br />But the MM-5600 takes quality to a new level and provides the best signal and features I have seen in a cell phone. If Sprint would tune their network a little more the entire user experience would rank 5 solid points!<br /><br />PROS:<br />Speakerphone is loud and clear<br />Phone has great sound -voice-music-ring tones rock<br />Screen quality is perfect<br />Strong signal and hold calls even in fringe area's<br />Camera works flawlessly and renders great quality images<br />Voice dial is perfect-say the name and it dials it<br />Easy to use interface that works faultlessly <br />Superb build quality-made in Japan and not China-this is important!<br /><br />CONS:<br />This phone is pricey so when you get one, bug Sprint to give you a discount!<br /><br />Summary:<br />In this age of mediocre products the Sanyo MM-5600 stands out above the rest. You simply cannot find this kind of wide-ranging quality anywhere else or in any other cell phone except maybe the other high-end Sanyo models. And no I don't work for Sanyo or Sprint! This one should be purchased and admired! WOW !!!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=632 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=632&r=10587#review10587 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=632&r=10587#review10587 Mon, 11 Jul 2005 22:02:29 GMT <p><i>sprintboy42 submitted this review of the Sanyo MM-5600:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I really have had no problem with my 5600 and i have had it for over a month. the screen is so beautiful and colorful, i also love the pic quality and the MP3 player. the sound is so clean and awesome.

I've owned it for three months.<br /><br />PROS:<br />The Main &amp; outside LCD screens are both great. You can put any picture on there and it comes out really clear. Best screen I've ever seen.<br /><br />Camera is great for taking pictures of your contacts. <br /><br />Speaker phone is loud &amp; clear. You can hear this even in a noisy place. Once you have a speaker phone it is a must after that. I make my own ringers and they sound great. <br /><br />The mini sd card is great for movies and mp3's. You can get a 512 card for not too much money. You can record a entire movie if you want. The voice recorder also lets you record for as long as you need to. Not the old 30 second for Sanyo's.<br /><br />Ear piece sounds really good<br /><br />The battery life is also better than average<br /><br />I like the design of the phone.<br /><br />It can be used as a drive when you connect it to your computer. I personally would rather use a card reader but this is a nice feature for those who don't have a card reader. It is included along with a headset. <br /><br /><br />Cons:<br />Those guys are all in jail.<br /><br />Night shots are really not all that great.<br /><br /><br />Over all this phone is the best there is. The Samsung A800 should have been my first choice but NO SPEAKERPHONE. I have a digital camera so why buy a 2MP camera when I already have a 5 MP one. I wanted a phone with a camera not a camera with a phone. This is hands down the best their is.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=632 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=632&r=10420#review10420 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=632&r=10420#review10420 Fri, 01 Jul 2005 01:49:52 GMT <p><i>harrisk5721 submitted this review of the Sanyo MM-5600:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Pros:<br />I bought this phone off of ebay new for $369.00<br />They are less now. I love this phone.<br />It has the loudest , clearest speaker I have ever heard on any cellphone. I have sold nextel,sprint,verizon,cellularone,and tmobile. This phone is the best phone I have ever owned so far.<br />It has no bugs at all. I love the mp3 player because it is so easy to use. you just plug it in to your USB port and put it on SYNC. Download your songs via itunes or windows media player and your done.<br />I love how I can watch TV on the phone and it looks almost as real as regular TV.<br />The Ready Link Two way radio is wonderful.<br />The battery life is great!<br />I have had the phone for two months and I think I will keep it for a long time!!!<br /><br />Cons:<br />The phone has a limited internal memory for downloading AAC ringers...I had a toshiba 4050 before this and it had a huge memory for ringers and downloads.<br />The phone has a black backside. I would have preferred it to be all one silver color.<br /><br />This phone is worth the money.

Some good reviews some trivial.<br /><br />I've had this phone for about 4 weeks with 1200 minutes of talk time.<br /><br />The pros and cons have been covered well. I kinda like the phone but I'm going to mention the real problem with this phone; the ability to hear clearly.<br /><br />1. I think there is something wrong with the physical design of the ear piece. If you don't hold it over your ear canal the opening is such that your ear blocks the sound and you can't hear. Annoying.<br /><br />2. The biggest problem; both the ear piece and the speaker phone distort at high volume. Real real Annoying.<br /><br />It's hard to believe Sanyo settled for this most easily correctable SOUND problem!!!<br /><br />Also, no redial?</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=632 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=632&r=10245#review10245 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=632&r=10245#review10245 Sat, 18 Jun 2005 19:44:44 GMT <p><i>wells2269 submitted this review of the Sanyo MM-5600:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I have had quite a few Sprint phones over the past 2 yrs. And I must say, I'm not quite sure about this phone yet. It does feel cheap compared to my MM7400, I can squeeze my 7400 as hard as I can and not be afraid of crushing it, I can't do that with the 5600 I think I'm going to break it. The spring hinge that the 7400 has in absent from the 5600, and as stated in a previous review, it crackles when held up to the ear, which makes it fell and sound cheap. The 7400 doe not do that. Also, the size is a bit...well, big. The 7400 has a cool look to it. The camera is better with the 5600, not knocking the 7400 though. I have not used the mp3 player yet, so I cant say I would miss it. The screen is nice and bright. I also miss the meeting mode on the 7400, I got used to using that alot.<br /><br />Im holding onto my 7400, Im not sure if this phone is as great as everyone hyped it to be.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=632 http://www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=42#from-phone-632 http://www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=42#from-phone-632 Mon, 06 Jun 2005 22:00:00 GMT <p>We just published our In-Depth Review of the Sanyo MM-5600.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to read.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=632
