Sanyo Katana II (SCP-6650) Reviews

CNET reviews the Sanyo Katana II 6650 and writes, "The Katana II offers a VGA camera, which produced predictably disappointing picture quality with washed-out colors (not to mention way too much orange) and blurry object edges. You can take pictures with three different resolutions (640x480, 320x240, or 160x120 pixels), three quality settings (Fine, Normal, Economy), and the choice of either two shutter sounds or silence. Other camera settings include five picture modes (Normal, Beach/Snow, Scenery, Night/Dark, and Soft Focus), a self-timer of up to 10 seconds, multiple shot, stitch shot, 10 picture frames, eight color tones, brightness, and white balance."

PCMag reviews the Sanyo Katana II and writes, "The big difference between now and last year, when the original Katana was released, is that Sprint now has a Motorola RAZR—which competes directly with the Katana. Sprint's RAZR, the V3m, is being sold for the same $49 and has a bunch more features, including a better camera, a memory card slot, and Sprint TV. I also like the RAZR's metallic feel more than the Katana II's plastic. That aside, Sanyo's reputation for voice quality is legendary, so I'm comfortable recommending the Katana for folks looking for a thin, voice-only phone."
