I purchased this device years ago and it still works great. Similar to another popular phone of its day this phone definitely outshines the competition. It has a camera and offers multi-media messaging. For a phone of its age, it also has a large amount of storage. Durability This phone is built to last. I have had this phone for seven years now, and it still works! Although I have upgraded my phone many times over the years, I can always revert back to my Katana if I have any issues with my current device. Ease of Use This phone is very easy to use. It offers easy access to the camera, as well as word prediction for text.

The Katana was probably one of the last non smart phones I owned. Overall I loved this phone and used it for many years and actually reverted back to it for a while when my other phone broke. Performance Overall for an older phone I rate this phone quite highly. Good storage space, fast response overall a good phone. Voice Quality One of the better phones I've had when it comes to voice quality better than my Iphone 3gs, 4 or my Samsung Galaxy SIII by far. Battery Life Long battery life, I could talk on it off and on all day and I usually averaged at least two or three days between charges. Durability I put my Katana through hell many times and as I said above I used this phone for several years and I actually went back to using it after my first smart phone quit working. Ease of Use Its a very simple straight forward phone what more can you ask for? Design This phone was light weight, durable and very ergonomically designed and yet still easy on the eyes.

I am definitely ready for a new phone but no complaints with this one as it is easy to use, text, and access the internet. Although accessing the internet is slow to navigate. For cell phone users that are not into the touches, apps, etc. this phone would work.

Great phone for a great price! I have two of the Katanas , both which simply work. I would buy another one if mine broke today. The signal strength is amazing. The battery life is longer than stated. The picture quality is not the best, however, it works just fine for a phone. The phone can be dropped and slammed but it never fails to work.

I have the Sanyo 8200.  Even though this model has been discontinued by Sprint, I feel that it is the best phone out there.  It has the basics for what a cell phone was meant for....talking.  It has a camera that takes decent pictures, but no need for it in general.  You can still get a good one from Ebay and they are very durable.

This sleek phone fits in my purse, cup holder in the car, or even my pocket! Reasonably priced and packed full of all the features I need in a cell phone, I wouldn't want any other phone for the cost. Web access, email, music, games, and many other options make this a great phone for every day use.

Great phone...especially since it's often the "freebie" when you renew your service plan!!! I've dropped it on concrete, into a puddle, into snow -- and it just keeps working! Very tough little phone. Decent picture quality and easy to navigate. Sound quality during call is quite good. Very little echo like I've had w/ other cells. And, I love that it's PINK!!!

This is a good phone.  It is compact and slim.  The volume is either to high or too low.  Also, the buttons are not raised so it makes it hard to dial the phone.  Headphones will need an adaptor to fit on the phone.  Otherwise the phone is a great buy.  Sprint offered it for free with an upgrade for me.

The Katana phone from Sprint is the best phone I have had yet. It's small, sleek, has a large color display. I like the simple menu and speed dial option. The battery talk time is more than adequate. I got this phone free in a promotion, but would have gladly paid full price. Oh, did I mention, it's pink!

I purchased this phone for my daughter. The color is great. She really likes the phone, but is now having difficulty with the volume of her ringers. Since I didn't purchase a service contract on the phone, I figured she can still use it. Nice phone. The color is great for girls. We're on a family plan which works nicely.
