Review: Sanyo 6600 Katana
When the Samsung MM-A900 arrived from Sprint late last year, News.com called it Samsung’s answer to the Motorola Razr, thanks to its slim shape and similar, flip-phone design. Fast-forward several months, and Sprint has yet another Razr competitor on its hands: the Sanyo 6600 Katana. Having named it after a type of samurai sword, Sanyo clearly has high ambitions with this slim and slender handset, perhaps aiming to draw people away from the widely popular Razr.
But without features such as a megapixel camera, a music player, or 3G support, the Sanyo 6600 Katana pales in comparison to both the Samsung MM-A900 and Verizon’s Razr V3m.
The good: The Sanyo 6600 Katana has a slim silhouette and offers a VGA camera, Bluetooth, a speakerphone, text messaging, voice dialing, a voice recorder, and a wireless Web browser. It has a large external screen.
The bad: The Sanyo 6600 Katana’s feature set is rather underwhelming and doesn’t have 3G support like many of its slim counterparts. It also suffers from flat keys that are slippery and difficult to dial by feel.
The bottom line: The Sanyo 6600 Katana pales in comparison to the Motorola Razr and the Samsung MM-A900 in terms of design and features. But on its own, it’s a pretty good midtier phone.
