Sanyo Katana Review

Sanyo Katana Bell Mobility

This phone came from the brains at Sanyo and made a direct competitor to the RAZR. Measuring 97mm x 51mm x 16mm (3.8″ x 2″ x .6″), the Katana is 2mm smaller, 1mm shorter, and 2mm thicker than the Motorola RAZR V3. It is also light and weights 95g (3.3oz). This is all the rage and we are waiting to see what comes from the next generation of this model.

    1. I have the sanyo katana phone and i am unable to do object push with anything but sending my personal contacts to another phone. Is there any way I can send pictures or anything through bluetooth or is that not at all possible?

    2. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think Bell disables most of the Bluetooth functionality. My Katana should have DUN, but no other devices can detect it. Like @mel I can only transfer contacts one way (off the phone), useless to get my contacts onto a new phone. I’d love a fix or a hack for this (especially the DUN).
