Sanyo - Sanyo Katana II Cell Phone Review

I have owned and used my Sanyo Katana II cell phone for over 2 years now.  I had asked the salesperson to give me the most durable phone within my price range due to the fact that I am a mom of a toddler.  Unlike the cell phones I have owned in the past, the battery does not pop off when I drop this phone, or my son throws it across the room.  I have even thrown the phone into the yard (because I get terrible service at my house - this is not due to the particular phone, but I suppose due to my service provider and the fact that I live in a low lying area full of trees) and my dog picked it up in her mouth.  She did not bite the phone, but there was some doggy-drool on it.  LOL.  Anyhow, the point is that after approximately 2 1/2 years, at least 50 times of being dropped or thrown, on floors, outside, in the sand, you name it, it still works well.  Aside from a few small scratches it still looks new, and the screens are still perfect.  It does not have a QWERTY keyboard for texting which is a bummer, because I just got unlimited texting a month ago, but I'm adjusting to the T9 words rather quickly.  So, it's not one of the greatest phones, it doesn't have all the coolest gadgets, but if you are interest in durability, it might be the phone for you.
