I had it for 6 months while working for a third-party Sprint dealer, and I had few problems with coverage in the Lancaster, PA, area. However, in areas where the Sprint towers were owned by Shentel, such as York and Harrisburg, PA, coverage could get really spotty.<br /><br />The SCP-3100 is a tough little phone. I put it through some serious abuse, such as dropping it alot and opening the clamshell too far. I used to demostrate this for customers by slamming the phone onto a desk while open, and then banging my fist on it to press it open further than normal. It survived every time, and it always worked afterward just fine. I don't recommend you try that at home, though...<br /><br />PROS<br />- tough phone<br />- decent signal strength when in a coverage area<br />- good speakers and earpiece<br />- inexpensive for a camera phone at the time<br /><br />CONS<br />- no Bluetooth<br />- browser not strong or fast, 1xRTT only<br />- not a feature-rich phone<br /><br />Overall, this is a good, decent product by Sanyo.</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=919 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=919&r=35085#review35085 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=919&r=35085#review35085 Mon, 21 Sep 2009 19:57:14 GMT <p><i>narn3049 submitted this review of the Sanyo SCP-3100:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I love this phone. It was my second phone over the razr v3m in red, because it took a dramatic fall into the sink and kept giving me the bootloader error, (not sure of the software or PRL) <br /><br />The two expresso brown ones I owned were absolutely junk. They would always break, so i went to the store, and luckily sprint replaced it, but the only one that they had was BARBIE PINK!! and I'm a boy, <br /><br />I love everything about this one and saying that the brown one I had didn't work is what I think is shunning the pink one.<br /><br />If you like sprint and sanyo you should get this!</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=919 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=919&r=32512#review32512 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=919&r=32512#review32512 Fri, 02 Jan 2009 21:11:05 GMT <p><i>kcsimm11 submitted this review of the Sanyo SCP-3100:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>It's a pretty good phone.

However, I think that the camera on my phone is really not a big deal. If you really need a camera, but one, don't depend on you camera phone's capability.<br />The rest of the phone is excellent. I can't even begin to count how many times I have dropped it, and there's only a few scratches, but still works like a charm.<br />Texting on this phone is so easy and quick, and the speaker phone is great. Reception is also awesome, I get service no matter where I am.<br />This phone may be a little large and slightly out of date, but if this phone is still available to buy anywhere I suggest it, especially for first time cell phone owners!</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=919 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=919&r=30459#review30459 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=919&r=30459#review30459 Thu, 14 Aug 2008 12:03:53 GMT <p><i>sebastianlara96 submitted this review of the Sanyo SCP-3100:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Pro's:<br />-It is a very strong phone<br />-Great battery life<br />-AMAZING speakerphone<br />-Basically waterproof<br /><br />Con's:<br />-Scratches very easily<br />-1MB of memory!!!

I sent it in for warranty service and I got it back saying that the warranty was voided due to abuse (Physical damage). There isn't a scratch or mark on this phone. It sits in my purse or shirt pocket. Doesn't get wet, hasn't been swimming or anything of the sort. Sanyo obviously does not want to repair anything under warranty. They will find a way to get out of it. I have had the same problem with the LCD Projector division of Sanyo. Their 3 year warranty isn't worth the paper its written on. If I had insurance on my phone, I think I'd play golf with it as well!</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=919 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=919&r=26530#review26530 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=919&r=26530#review26530 Sat, 01 Dec 2007 01:53:23 GMT <p><i>eristiaya submitted this review of the Sanyo SCP-3100:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>0</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Seemed like a good basic phone, inexpensive and does what I need. Have had it for a year, don't use it very often, don't even carry it around much. It just shut off with no warning. Suddenly the screen went fuzzy and it turned off and I can't turn it back on again. Sprint is no help. Considering that this is my only phone I have no wawy of communicating with my family, I'm stuck for a while. Can't afford a new phone (which sprint said starts at $200) If I cancel my contract, that's $200..sigh maybe I'll try AT&amp;T.</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=919 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=919&r=25234#review25234 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=919&r=25234#review25234 Wed, 19 Sep 2007 23:35:48 GMT <p><i>txteddgirl submitted this review of the Sanyo SCP-3100:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I have had this phone for a little over a year, my spouse has one too, and with the abuse that it has gone through with us dropping it (even in liquid) I am surprised it still works... it is very simple to use and no one should have trouble using it, our toddler can make calls on it (correctly!) and he takes and sends pictures to grandparents using it... <br /><br />pros: size , battery life (charge it 1x week), easy to use, great reception, speaker function is clear and its nice that you can close it and still use the speaker function, colors are fun and pictures are extremely easy to get off and send to others, everything you need in a phone and more<br /><br />cons: surprisingly the only thing we had a prob with on both was the antenna case cracking but it didn't mess up reception at all bc you normally don't need to use the antenna in our city...

The camera takes good pictures and the speaker phone is very clear. I have dropped my phone a couple of times and it still runs perfectly fine and has NO scratches!
