>> I'm Nicole [inaudible], associate editor for CNET.com, and this is the Sanyo S1 from Sprint Nextel. As you can see, it's a pretty handset from Sprint. It has a fairly lackluster screen here, but that's pretty typical fr basic handsets. On the bottom here you get a navigation array as usual, and you get the numerical keypad. We found the keys to be kind of slippery actually. The back button in particular is a little bit too small for our tastes. But there are ridges separating the keys, so that made it easy to dial by feel. So overall there's not much to say about the Sanyo S1. There's wireless web browser, there's Bluetooth actually in here as well, but there's no camera, no music player, nothing fancy like that. If you want to get this phone, it's available specifically through Radio Shack. It's ninety five dollars for a one year contract, and it's free with a two year contract.
