Sanyo SCP-3100 Reviews
Sanyo SCP-3100 (Blue Energy) Reviews. Cell Phones Reviews by CNET.
The good: The affordable Sanyo SCP-3100 is a solid Sprint clamshell that comes in several colors. It supports Sprint’s Ready Link walkie-talkie network, and it features a VGA camera, voice recording, analog roaming, and a speakerphone with great sound quality.
The bad: The Sanyo SCP-3100’s monochrome external display doesn’t show picture caller ID. Also, the colors on the internal display appear washed out.
The bottom line: The Sanyo SCP-3100 has a solid feature set that belies its simple exterior. While it may not be the most attractive phone, the SCP-3100’s Ready Link support, VGA camera, voice recording, speakerphone, and great audio quality add up to a decent midtier mobile.
Sprint PCS Vision Phone SCP-3100 by Sanyo review by PC Magazine
Sanyo’s SCP-3100 for Sprint (known officially as the Sprint PCS Vision Phone SCP-3100 by Sanyo) carries on the company’s reputation for spectacular voice quality. Unfortunately, its mediocre feature set and truly hideous case design require me to recommend other phones in Sprint’s midrange.
Review: Sanyo SCP-3100 free clamshell - infoSync World
The SCP-3100’s call quality was quite good; we heard our friends loud and clear, even over the speakerphone. The phone doesn’t support Bluetooth (no surprise with a free handset), but you do get three-way calling, voice tags, and push-to-talk via Sprint’s Ready Link service. We got 3 hours and 20 minutes of talk time from the phone, which is slightly below average but still acceptable. You can store up to 300 contact entries (or a total of 500 numbers) in the 3100’s internal memory — again, not a huge number, but good enough for an entry-level handset. We liked the support for live, while-typing name lookup, and you assign pictures shot with the phone’s VGA camera to individual contacts.
