    I'm looking at the Sanyo MM5600. Besides being expensive, how's the
    receptions, multimedia, etc... Pro's and Con's.

    Appreciate your input before I purchase this expensive phone.

    Thanks,
    jt

    Re: Need experiences with Sanyo MM5600 before I buy?

    I just traded in my Sanyo 5300 for the 5600

    Screen is quite good and has more customization. You can set the font
    size, which matters to me as my eyesight is not great.
    Can use voice dialing without recording voice tag.
    Signal reception seems slighly poorer in terms of bars, but actual
    calls work fine.
    Ring tones sound great, altho that is a minor matter.

    I've only looked at video previews. Picture is grainy but you can
    watch it. Sound is OK.

    Camera is better than previous one. I have gotten some usable
    pictures, athough it took some fancy sharpening tools to make the
    picture good enough to print at 8x10. Would do fairly well at 4x6.

    I have not been able to get the phone to connect as a modem. There
    are long discussions about this issue. If I really needed that
    feature I would be in trouble. Luckily more and more hotels now have
    free hi-speed connections in the room.

    Good luck

    My best advice to you is to go on over to:

    http://www.phonescoop.com

    The MM5600 is listed there, and it has a few user reviews.

    Laptop tethering seems to be disabled, and it appears to be the phone
    doing it. Otherwise, I'm hearing a LOT of good things about the phone.
    The only real complaint I've seen is that the phone won't use files on
    the mini-SD card as ringers. And there are even people claiming to have
    hacked that.

    So what _can_ that mini-SD card be used for?

    The phone is a multimedia phone. The mini-SD card has a few uses:

    1) MP3's can be stored on it and played via the phone's multimedia
    player.
    2) With a memory card, the length of time recording a video is limited
    only by the card. Without the card, the phone defaults to 30 seconds.
    3) Pictures taken with the camera can be stored to the card.

    There's a fourth, unofficial use: movies. There are compression schemes
    out there that can shrink a movie file (wmv, I think, but don't quote me
    one it) to about a MB per minute of movie. With a 1GB mini-SD card, you
    could have a movie or two, quite a selection of MP3's, and still have
    room to use the camera quite extensively.
