      <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;K.Midas submitted this review of the Sanyo MM-7500:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Overall rating: &lt;b&gt;4.5&lt;/b&gt; (out of 5)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I used this phone for my 2 year contract with Sprint and it was a joy. The Sanyo MM7500 was a powerhouse of a phone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Pros&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Built tough. I like the rubber trim for a rough, firm grip. I've dropped this phone countless times and it kept working flawlessly. However, I work in a kitchen and, over time, working with greasy hands will eat away at the adhesive holding the rubber on causing it to slowly but surely peel off. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-The flashlight on this thing is Omega-Bright. I've used the phone's light to work on my car, search for my keys in the dark, blind people. (You know. Stuff that flashlights are important for).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-One of the best 1.3 mp cameras I've seen on a phone and you can use the external screen for a view finder. And video clips aren't bad either. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Great signal everywhere I go. Nothing less than 3 bars. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-The phone clicks when you open/close it to let you know it's staying open or closed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Faceplates (I like the silver one personally)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Menu interface is easy to navigate&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not too many Cons but here are some&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-No bluetooth&lt;br /&gt;-No gps but Google Maps is the fix for that&lt;br /&gt;-No expansion for micro sd&lt;br /&gt;-No 3mm headphone jack&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's about it. Overall a great phone regardless of cons. I recommend it if Sprint still offers it. But if not you can find it online for probably cheap. Thanx for reading.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

The reception is awesome, but the standard battery does not last too long.  I recently had to purchase the Sanyo extended battery for the phone.  The key pad buttons are a tad small, so if you have big figures this phone may not be fore you.  The rubber gaurd around the phone is great.  I've dropped at least a hand full of times since I work in construction, and the phone works as good as the day I bought it.  I recently used the Garmin GPS 30 day trial application and it works great!  Overall it's a great phone.  For some reason I don't see many people with it.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;bry1974ny submitted this review of the Sanyo MM-7500:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Overall rating: &lt;b&gt;4.5&lt;/b&gt; (out of 5)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I purchased this phone a few days ago, this being one of the few phones left over after it's been discontinued (at least from Sprint's website).  Previously, I've owned Sanyo's RL-7300 and the MM-7400.  The MM-7400 was such a huge improvement over the old RL.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The MM-7500 is again a great improvement from both the 7300-&gt;7400 and now the 7400-&gt;7500.  The main LCD is smaller but it seems of higher-resolution.  The "digital" theme is most impressive, the graphics and the fonts used are among the best I've ever seen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pros:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Awesome rugged design&lt;br /&gt;- Changeable faceplates (blue/silver/red)&lt;br /&gt;- Brilliant blue backlight keys&lt;br /&gt;- Excellent reception&lt;br /&gt;- Excellent call clarity/range&lt;br /&gt;- Excellent speakerphone&lt;br /&gt;- Excellent graphics/user interface&lt;br /&gt;- Great camera capabilities (1.3MP)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cons:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- No bluetooth&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At this point in time, there are few of these still available in Sprint stores.  By the end of this year (4th quarter 2006 or 1st quarter 2007), the even newer MM-7600 will surface, which will most likely promise bluetooth compatibility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Worth mentioning too is that the phone comes complete with a stereo headset (previously the MM-7400 had only mono compatibility), and also a USB cable is included for you to transfer photos from phone to computer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In short, this phone is one of the best for Sprint, don't hesitate to buy it!  You'll be amazed at the landline-like quality from the earpiece, calls are crystal clear!  Reception and battery life are also at the top.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;DenverBrian submitted this review of the Sanyo MM-7500:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Overall rating: &lt;b&gt;3.5&lt;/b&gt; (out of 5)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I haven't been much of a Sprint/Sanyo fan over the years - voice quality is usually subpar compared to Samsung models.  But, after losing my beloved Samsung A700, I've had to face a choice of either the Samsung A900 (icky battery life) or the Sanyo MM-7500.  For the first time in years, I'm going with the Sanyo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PROS&lt;br /&gt;- Small, compact clamshell with a sturdy, positive open/close&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Rubberized grip; no case required to keep in pocket&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Keypad glows in a sexy cobalt blue&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Battery life is quite good&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Easy transfer of Outlook contacts into the phone via USB cable and SnapSync&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CONS&lt;br /&gt;- Typical Sanyo fuzzy/distorted voice quality; always a perception that the speaker is overdriven and too loud (compared to most  phones' absolute clarity)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Alert icon must be cleared manually via multiple key steps (unless I haven't figured out the "magic" button yet)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Exterior LCD is small and available options for displaying the time are all needlessly too small&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Limited, boring, crappy default ringers and music (Samsung wins handily on this aspect), and quite difficult to find business-style ringers online&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My lost Samsung has been found, so now I have an interesting decision: go back to the A700's excellent voice quality, or stay with the sexier, more compact Sanyo MM-7500.  As usual, the cell phone makers never make it easy, as they never create a phone with all the best features.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;queensyankee submitted this review of the Sanyo MM-7500:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Overall rating: &lt;b&gt;4.5&lt;/b&gt; (out of 5)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is a really good phone.  It has all the bells in whistles, and it's durable.  If you drop it, it will still function perfectly.  And if you drop it alot, it will still work.  All the features have been listed by everyone else, so I'll just say the only reason this phone doesn't get a 5 is...lack of bluetooth, lack of memory card, and if you're like me, and use your thumb to open up the flip of the phone, you can't do that to this phone, the rubber on the side of the phone prevents that.  But everything else about this is great.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;phonaholic submitted this review of the Sanyo MM-7500:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Overall rating: &lt;b&gt;4&lt;/b&gt; (out of 5)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I've been with Sprint for 8 years and am located in souther lower Michigan. I'm a devoted Sanyo fan most of the time. I did try the Samsung A900 but took it back. Battery life was abysmal and I actually found the phone too thin to hold comfortably. I presently am using a Sanyo 7500 and it's been fantastic on reception and my battery has never gone down below 2 bars no matter what so far. Those are the pros. The cons are 1) sound quality seems a little bit lacking. I either have to set it too low or too high to hear properly. I find myself putting it a little high and then holding it slightly away from my ear to be comfortable. 2) Screen size....I do miss the big screen that was on the Samsung A900. This one is a little too small for me. My local Sprint store has one of the Sanyo 9000's left and I'm thinking about looking into that....&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;ciera23 submitted this review of the Sanyo MM-7500:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Overall rating: &lt;b&gt;4.5&lt;/b&gt; (out of 5)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I started with the 8200 phone from Sprint. Have enjoyed it except for the past few months. I had to get a replacement since my original one broke and this was a refurb. I started having problems getting a signal so I decided to upgrade and see if I had better luck with a different handset because I didn't want to change companies. Bought the MM9000, had it for one day and returned it. It's an amazing phone, unbelievable reception but bigger than I prefer. Got the 7500 and I love it! Has very similar features to the 9000. &lt;br /&gt;What I love:&lt;br /&gt;-Good reception (9000 was better like by 2 bars)&lt;br /&gt;-Awesome power vision&lt;br /&gt;-Good camera&lt;br /&gt;-Easy to use menus&lt;br /&gt;-Love the blue light background on the keys&lt;br /&gt;-Size of the phone is perfect for my small hands&lt;br /&gt;-Love that I can upload some MP3's and listen to them and calls will come through then it will go back to the music. &lt;br /&gt;-I think the headset that came with it is nice, my music sounds good and people can hear me on it clearly&lt;br /&gt;-Telenav is incredible and I will use it alot. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cons:&lt;br /&gt;-Speaker is clear but not as clear as the 9000&lt;br /&gt;-No expandable memory but I don't care about that&lt;br /&gt;-No blue tooth but I wouldn't use that either&lt;br /&gt;-Reception is very good but 9000 beats it a little bit, still way better than my 8200&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was worried about getting a phone that was only dual band but I have never been in analog (at least the places I travel) even when I had my 8200. &lt;br /&gt;Overall I am extremely pleased with this phone and it was worth full price to me. I hope that everyone enjoys this phone as much as I do!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

They do the basics right. The phone gets great reception, and sounds great. I count off a bit cause the screen is a bit small for a phone that retails at 300 dollars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EVDO rocks on Sprint&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good phone if you need something that will last a couple years.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;EBFoxbat submitted this review of the Sanyo MM-7500:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Overall rating: &lt;b&gt;4.5&lt;/b&gt; (out of 5)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Much improved over 7400. Traded in a (software) buggy a900 for this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pros:&lt;br /&gt;+Rugged, heavy duty, snap open/shut&lt;br /&gt;+Camera is above average (keep in mind it's still a cell phone)&lt;br /&gt;+Physical Macro lens&lt;br /&gt;+"Send Text when signal is available" feature works almost as soon as signal returns, unlike 7400.&lt;br /&gt;+Screen is bright and sharp and big enough, no matter what other reviews say, the internal screen is not tiny.&lt;br /&gt;+EVDO... it's that great.&lt;br /&gt;+Flashlight&lt;br /&gt;+Favorites desktop shortcut can be set to anything, really anything, including specific URLs (must be bookmarked)&lt;br /&gt;+When Ready Link is disable it's out of sight and out of the way.&lt;br /&gt;+GPS can tag pictures with Latitude and Longitude where the pictures was taken... that's just cool.&lt;br /&gt;+Loud, Nextel loud, ringers.&lt;br /&gt;+Supports Sprint Themes... they're cheesey though.&lt;br /&gt;Battery life its fine and is great if GPS is disabled (when disabled GPS is still available for 911 services just not applications)&lt;br /&gt;+Multimedia with EVDO is increadable.&lt;br /&gt;+Stupid Voive Memo feature is tucked out of the way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cons:&lt;br /&gt;-Error 3000 (timeout error) when on the fringe of EVDO coverage. Phone has trouble connecting to old 1x vision when EVDO Power vision isn't available. Tech assured me it was because the system was overloaded from the Super Bowl, I think it's buggy, time will tell.&lt;br /&gt;-Macro Lens switch is a bit trough, must use finger nail.&lt;br /&gt;-External display (while bright and clear) is an irregular shape... rectangular.&lt;br /&gt;-External rubber gets slipery when greesey... dont eat pizza and talk on ur phone.&lt;br /&gt;-Sanyo still lets the volume get too lud for the speaker. At maximum loudness the audio quality is really bad. However the sound is plenty loud enough and high enough quality when backed down one or two settings from max.&lt;br /&gt;-Thick and squat design, but it's the same style as 7300 and 7400.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall:&lt;br /&gt;A good improvement. Still some ways to go but I like it better than the A900.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;cutter2668 submitted this review of the Sanyo MM-7500:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Overall rating: &lt;b&gt;2.5&lt;/b&gt; (out of 5)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Im a big fan of Sanyo phones, were it not for sanyo, I would have left sprint long ago.&lt;br /&gt;Ive had the 8100, vm4500, mm7400 for a short time(had to return defective unit and couldnt buy another 7400, bummer)and ofcourse the 7500.  I was excited about the 7500 since I sorely missed the 7400 but this changed after I bought it, I quickly realized that the internal lcd screen was of a higher resolution but on a smaller screen than the vm4500 and the 7400, this is my primary reason for returning the 7500 and going back to my trusty vm4500.&lt;br /&gt;Another disappointment is the fact that the great design features of the 7400 were abandoned, the full sized removable faceplate, the size (the 7400 was a perfect size, fits well in the hand, just right).&lt;br /&gt;I would like to choke all the people who call these phones too big or too heavy, you dont know what youre talking about!! Also, the nice raised bezel around the external LCD is missing on the 7500 leaving this area more prone to scratches than the v4500 or the mm7400.  Having said this, the 7500 is very comfortable to hold and operate, the keys are raised instead of being recessed and are fit in nice channels that make it easy to hit numbers without keeping your eyes on the keypad though the finish of the menu button and function keys is not as good as the 7400.  The 7500 has excellent signal reception, a great speakerphone and the wireless vision is very fast however I found no practical use for it as the screen is too tiny to watch any visual programming and powervision is far too expensive, I wont give up my unlimited vision plan. Furthermore in addition to the higher price for powervision, you have to pay extra for any tv programming which no one in their right mind will do, better off using a broadband connection on your computer. The camera is much improved over previous models.&lt;br /&gt;Final thoughts...had Sanyo incorporated the faceplate of the 7400 into the new 7500 and kept the larger screen of the 7400, they would have a winner&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

I have 2 agree with others that is just a cell phone. If you want all those crazy must have features, you might just wanna carry around a laptop, a camera, a video camera, and a cordless phone. this is the next best thing though. the ev-do works great in some areas. The only thing that i dont like about this phone is the battery life. The battery works good, if you just use the phone, but when you start using the rest of the features, it sucks down the battery. other than that this is an excellent phone. ENJOY!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;del5645 submitted this review of the Sanyo MM-7500:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Overall rating: &lt;b&gt;4&lt;/b&gt; (out of 5)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Almost everything about this phone is awesome.  Lack of a memory card on a handset with an MP3 player was a bad decision on Sanyos part.  I don't understand what is going with Sanyo and Bluetooth but the incredible menu's and graphics of Sanyo phones make up for the things left out "sometimes".  If my handset didn't have a defect which required replacement I would probably have kept the 7500.  The 9000 is slick and slippery and it has already popped out of my hand like a bar of wet soap and got scratched.  I feel uneasy handling the 9000 and this wasn't an issue when I had the 7500.  The internal screen was just too small.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PRO:  Excellent reception, Camera and camcorder by far surpass all other handsets in competition right now.  The Video playback is perfect and clear and the voices are in perfect time with their lips movement and there are no choppy spots or pixel squares popping up all over the place.  I like the menu's and graphics and voice recognition and speaker quality.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CON:  NO BLUETOOTH or MEMORY CARD and the screen is too small.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As far as Memory card goes with the pictures and videos....you can upload the majority of your photoshooting to your private picturemail site at sprint.com and keep your memory for the most part open for the mp3's.  If you ever need a picture or a  video you took in the past you can just download it back to the phone.  You never have to delete pictures to make room for more. YES the website Sprint has given us is awesome and is one of the reasons I won't switch.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TIP;  You can save pictures from picturemail during a slideshow to a disk and take it to the neighborhood drug store with a photo lab and use the disk just like you would a memory card on the digital picture maker.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

The 7500 looked nice from afar, but really isn't that all impressive. It's got a nice speakerphone on it. THe camera is ok, not as nice as the newer Samsung phones. No memory slot, no BlueTooth, smaller outside LCD. I like the hinge on the phone. One of the more solid Sanyo hinges made which will save us reps a lot of headaches. Comes packaged with 3 face plates (Blue Red and Silver) Apparently is will be a skins phone. New skins will be available to further personalize the phone which is cool. Over all a decent phone, but not where I want it to be.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
