There are some phones that have been released that are quite slim as well as similar to each other. The fact of the matter is that Samsung MM-A900 as well as Motorola Razr are rather similar to the Sanyo 6600 Katana which has been named after a special type of Samurai sword and its seems that Sanyo will use the Sanyo 6600 Katana sword to demolish its detractors and competitors. It is clear that Sanyo has some high flying ambitions as well as desires with the Sanyo 6600 Katana and it tries to make its presence felt with its slim and slender look that can appeal to a lot of folks. But at the same time, it also follows that it does not have an MP camera or perhaps 3G support and a music player which leave a lot to be desired and also a lot of flank to be covered.

On the other hand, the Sanyo 6600 Katana can be had for as less as $79.99 if you take into account the 2 year contract that comes with Sprint, which gives it an edge in the price department. There is also a choice of colors which ensures that the phone is quite amazing in its look and feel which could work in its favor.
