Sanyo Katana review from United States of America
"The Katana is an all around good phone"
What things have gone wrong with the mobile phone?
Nothing has really gone wrong with the phone. I have accidentally dropped into a bath tub, and I took out the battery, let it dry for 2 days, and I only notice that sometimes the vibration doesn't work, but if you smack it against a hard surface, it will work again.
General comments?
I love this phone. It is soooo durable. I have dropped it numerous times on hard and soft surfaces, stepped on it, dropped in a bath tub, dropped it outside while it was snowing, and threw it at boyfriend. It's still going strong!
The battery life is really great too. The camera is really nice and clear (not pixelated). I use almost everything it has on it from stop watch to calendar, alarm clock, voice memos (which did an awesome job of recording 30 seconds of a live concert), to the Internet, pic mail, texting, speed dial... this phone is great!
The phone has taken a pretty good beating by me and is still in good condition (had it for a year). The screen on the outside of the phone is a little scratched, but the inside is perfect.
I only wish that this phone had MP3 capabilities and video recording/viewing... then I would say that this phone is 100% perfect for me!
