Has anyone had any experience good or bad with the RL 2000.
I'm considering buying one and I would like a little input first.
Thanks.

Sprint's current crop of Sanyo phones are all high rated.
Just be careful of the screen. If it ever breaks its your fault,
or so SprintPCS will say. Forget about a warranty and how hot the phone
gets with a 10 minute call.

My wife has spent over an hour on the RL 2000 and it never heated up. I was on it with CS for almost 90 minutes one day and the only warm spot was where my ear touched the phone. Samething with my 5500, that thing was as cool as if I just picked it up. The Samsung A460 is another story tho, that sucker gets too warm to hold against your cheek after 10 minutes.

When you say "jsut be careful of the screen", what do you mean--do
they crack spontaneously? I have some screen damage, but the phones
appeared to have had a rough life.

Many cell phone heat up considerably from long phone calls, and in cold
weather, the heat/chill cycles can stress a screen and cause it break
due to zero fault of the user.
There have been postings here of screens cracking spontaneously. Sprint
PCS store techs are instructed that any time a screen breaks it is to be
assumed to be customer abuse, and warranty coverage denied. I had a
Qualcomm 1960 once where the screen was fine when I went to sleep, and
busted when I woke up the next morning, and Sprint PCS, being customer
unfriendly as it is famous for refused to do anything. Luckily I had
bought the phone at a Department store, and they stood behind it (6
weeks old) and swapped it out for a Samsung 3500.

Typically inaccurate of you, Phillie. There are a few occasions of=20

I stand corrected. But basically my statement is correct, and you know
it. A very few occasions may be an exception. Which of course Sprint PCS
keeps secret which phones they are and won't divulge, thus a customer is
not assured of replacement in the case the tech is not up to date on the
secret list. For the overwhelming majority any screen breakage is
assumed to be customer abuse. It would also be nice if you mentioned if
the Sanyo RL2000 was in the small minority case of problem phones.

Re: Sanyo RL 2000
Ya, ya --- lets get back to last week's question Phil, which was why did you
return to Sprint? We're all interested to know what it was that brought you
back.
(get used to it --- or get gone)

I pourposely made 10 min calls with both my sanyo 4900 and the 5400
last night. Both get warm, but the 5400 gets warm in the lower
(keypad portion) of the phone, not the screen--it's more difficult to
judge the 4900, but the screen really doesn't appear to be the warmer
part of this phone either; If(?)this has anything to do with a damaged
screen; I really was always more concerned with damage to the
electronic circuits (which of course the screen is a part) than the
screen--but I could see the possibility of a problem with big
temperature varations, especially in winter cold

And generally if your screen breaks Sprint PCS will not cover you, but
blame user abuse, except for a small number of phones on a secret list.

It is a secret list Phillipe, just to keep the information away from your
little beady eyes ... So, why the need to basically give the same answer 4
times in the same thread ...?
So tell Phillipe, just why did you port back to SPCS?
