1 MY FAMILY LOVES THIS PHONE-ALL 3 COLORS!
I switched my two Sanyo 8100 model cell phones AFTER TWO YEARS WITH NO PROBLEMS for the newer up-graded 8200 and although we loved the 8100's, the 8200's are even better with a speaker phone, more better, faster everything it seems and the all new colors! From what I have seen in just a few days of use, the 8200 stands up to all the claims made by Sprint and Sanyo.
GREAT PHONE!
2 COOL PHONE, GAY COLOR
I bought this phone 5 months ago. It has alot
of great features, and I like everything about
it, exept the color. It's more of a pinkish red,
than a cherry red. So if you're a guy like me, do
yourself a favor, buy a different color!
3 red sanyo 8200
this is a sexy stylish phone to have in your pocket the digital camera is nice and able to access the web comes in handy
4 The picture taking is the best out but the ring tones are to
I had got the 8200 for my birthday. its a great phone and all such as taking great pictures having good service and looking real good. the only bad thing about this phone is if you buy it get a extended battary pack and by a covor case because it srach up easy. instead of that its a great phone the only reason i sold it because i went and bought the treo 600. Ps the ring tones are not as loud as they should be.
5 Ringers
Like the product a lot. Think a phone for this much should have a few of it's own ring tones, though. So you don't have to pay for a different one.
Love the red color. Got a blue one for Hubby. The speaker is great. Love the voice dial, had it with last phone. Wouldn't have phone without it.
6 A winning cell phone for Sprint PCS
The last PCS cell phone I owned was the venerable SCP-8100 from Sanyo. It was a cute little phone that was the second cell phone from any U.S. carrier that could take pictures. (The first-ever model was the SCP-5300 also from Sanyo, released in July 2002.) The PM-8200 addressed two shortcoming of the 8100: 1) camera quality, and 2) speakerphone.
The 8200 sports a higher-resolution built-in camera. Picture quality is also improved. The old 8100's pictures often had streaks and distorted colors. The 8200's pictures look much better. The speakerphone is definitely a great addition for those of us who like to multi-task yet dislike headsets. The volume and clarity could be a little better, but given the compact size of this phone, it's not bad.
Reception on the 8200 is great, thanks to its external antenna. Battery life is good, unless you save a lot of things in memory, which depletes battery faster the more stuff it holds. The phone is attractive and can be customized in many ways, not to mention it comes in three colors. To Sanyo, I suggest you use the iPod Mini color scheme, because not many people like big red!
In summary, the 8200 delivers lots of improvements over the already-excellent 8100. If you have Sprint or plan to get Sprint, this is the phone. If you want video recording, check out the Toshiba phone for Sprint.
7 BEST PHONE EVER
This phone is truly awesome. I love it. It has the camera, which is sweet. And you can make it so that when somebody calls you, their pic shows up. I <3 IT. BUT IT-TRUST ME.
8 great phone, but you can't hear anything
I loved this phone, I got it in red and my husband in silver.
I loved everything about this phone, the menu system and the internet and addresss book were GREAT! BUT.... We had to return these for different phones after a week, because you couldn't understand a word of what someone was saying to you through the phone, the audio quality was TERRIBLE. Other people could hear us fine though, and even with the signal level at maximum, you couldn't understand what people were saying. The store assured us that the phones were not defective (both had the same problem anyway) so we changed for another phone, which, although not as cool, you could hear well.

Love the phone. Easy to use, great reception. Durable, and tons of toys to keep me busy. Sprint also has some really really good plans right now to match it. Well worth the money compared to a lot of other phones I ALMOST got. None compare to this one. Picture quality is great, and tons of memory to hold and store pics. None really satisfied with the built in ringtones, but sprint gave a 10$ download credit for online downloads of ringtones, games, screensavers (even maxim and SI pics) which rounded out nicely the whole package.
