I want a phone that has top-notch reception.  I DON'T want a flip-fone,
camera, mp3 player, or any of that crap.  I simply want a PHONE that is
the best-receiving phone in the Sprint line.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

the best sprint has with out all the toys is the
sanyo katana

The Motorola Razr is also quite good. Too bad the Katana doesn't have Power
Vision.

    I think the OP is saying that all that's needed is a really
good handset for voice calling - one that grabs and holds a signal,
and nothing more.

    If Vision/Web access isn't important, the best is still a
Sanyo. I have a 4920 to sell, and that would fit the bill. I don't
know if you can still get them directly from Sprint. I imagine there
are quite a few on Ebay.

We're also hooked on Sanyos here for their great receivers.  The
sensitivity is impressive.  We have one SCP-200 and two SCP-3100's on the
plan.  The "200" is the most basic one.  All work great.

I had an LG PM-325 a couple of years ago.  The receiver was never very
sensitive, and it got worse after one year.

By "receiver" I mean radio receiver for signal acquisition.  Sometimes I
think receiver can refer to the unit in general.

Hope this helps.

David,

You hit the nail on the head!

Yes, I had read about the Sanyo's, and the Katana in particular.
Currently have an SCP 3100 that isn't very impressive as far as a
communications transceiver.  I'll check out the 4920.

Just curious: how old is your 4920?  What comes with it?  How much?

Many thanks.

    It was my wife's and she barely used it. I bought it right
after they first came out, I think January '05. More importantly I
have the life-timer figure somewhere and the mileage is practically
nil. I have no accessories, just a second battery that's almost brand
new (long story). It's in perfect condition, and I'm flexy. I was
hanging on to it as a fallback if I lost or destroyed my 8300.

    Please feel free to mail me directly.
