 The Sanyo Pro 200 (and its rugged sibling) could redefine the Direct Connect market, if enough potential customers find themselves within the coverage area. The interface and feature set blow away previous Nextel phones, and we were just as happy with the phone's battery life and voice quality, so long as we had plenty of bars of reception. GPS is a great idea for Direct Connect customers, and the messaging features were surprisingly robust. We're not sure we'd pick the Sanyo Pro 200 over the rugged, military-spec Sanyo Pro 700, which doesn't cost much more, but even by itself the Pro 200 makes a great addition to the Direct Connect lineup. Release: June 2008. Price: $100.
Pros: Nice feature set for a Direct Connect phone. Pretty interface on a bright, colorful screen. Navigation worked well.
Cons: Call quality suffered in bad reception. Direct Connect drops out altogether without EV-DO Rev. A coverage. Phone is kind of ugly, too.
