This text will be replaced
 The Sanyo Katana Eclipse is the Katana series finally honed to pleasing, unique multimedia phone, and unique is probably the key word. No longer in the RAZR's shadow, the Katana has the cool customizable color-changing LEDs that we liked, and a bevy of great multimedia features. Unfortunately, not all of these worked so well, especially if network reception was an issue, but Sanyo has the basics covered. The phone makes great calls, comes packed with easy-to-use calling features, and includes some surprisingly good messaging tools. Is this phone better than the new Motorola RAZR VE20? They're an equal match, so if you like the flashing lights, stick with this phone, but if you need larger screens and a more polished interface, check out the latest competitor. Release: August 2008. Price: $50.
Pros: Cool design, with flashy, color-changing LED lights. Solid interface, if a little blocky. Calls sounded great; with a load of good calling features as well.
Cons: 3G features, like music, video and location-based search, underperformed. Reception problems hurt data services. Mediocre camera. Cramped keyboard.
