 Sanyo is usually known for unattractive phones that function exceedingly well, which is why the newest Katana update, the Katana LX, is something of a surprise. The features are about as low-end as you can get on a phone these days (VGA camera? they still make those?), but the phone is easily the best looking Katana design yet, very similar to the Sony Ericsson Z750, with its disappearing external display. We would rather see this design wrapped around a multimedia powerhouse, but the Katana name still has some clout, and for the right price (free or less), this could be somebody's new favorite. Release: April 2008. Price: $50.
Pros: Cool, updated look, with disappearing external display.
Cons: Almost no advanced features to speak of.
