Sprint Releases Sanyo SCP-2700 QWERTY Handset SCP-2700 Sprint Availability

Following on from a press release back in March concerning Sprint
offering the Sanyo SCP-2700 QWERTY handset, we can now confirm that the
Sanyo SCP-2700 - which is billed as addressing 'a distinct need for a
texting-focused QWERTY device at an entry-level price point' - has now
officially become available to Sprint customers.

Apart from sporting a full QWERTY keypad, the Sanyo SCP-2700 comes with
a 2.2 65k color 320 x 240 LCD display, a web browser, a 1.3 megapixel
camera (which allows users to upload their photos directly to social
networking sites such as MySpace, Facebook and Photobucket via Sprint's
Social Zone application), integrated Bluetooth and GPS with Sprint
Navigation functionality. Interestingly, and no doubt in a bid to
further appeal to heavy texters, the Sanyo SCP-2700 also comes with
dedicated text and emoticon keys.

Available in two suitably bright colors, Deep Blue and Impulsive Pink,
the Sprint Sanyo SCP-2700 is currently being offered for $30 per month
based on a 2 year contract allowing for a $50 mail in rebate.
