Why is the new Sanyo 8200 so cheap?

I just got Sprint PCS service and got the Sanyo 7300, cuz I have Ready Link. Now I see this new Sanyo 8200 which has BOTH Ready Link and Camera. So why is the new phone so cheap? ($130 after rebate) It seems like it would be expensive, being new. What should I do? I think I have 15 days to return my phone and trade it in. But If I don't like it, will I be able to trade back?

The 7300 has a 2.1" screen rather than the 1.8" screen of the 8200, it
also has an extra protective external shell. Only you can decide if the
camera is worth it to you. Presumably the 8100 is going to be
discontinued, and SprintPCS wanted to keep a lower price point for a
camera phone.
