Hey

Just researching for a new phone. So far im quite interested in the Sanyo 5600, only thing is I had a look on the Sanyo website and the 5600 is now discontinued. Would it be worth waiting for a couple more options to come out?


Cheers

Hey any idea on how long, cuz i'm thinkin about gettin the 5600 as well... would it be out by the end of this year possibly?
Also whats the major difference between the two phones? I googled it and did a side by side comparison.. they look very similar except for the onboard memory and the 9000 can hold 500 contacts, am i missing something big?

Is the new Nokia 6525 (i think that is the model number) ever going to make an appearance? That looks like a nice phone.

I was actually replying to the original posters request about either buying the 5600 or waiting for a new phone that may be coming soon - I was merely suggesting that the Nokia 6525 might be worth waiting for, and if anyone here knew how long before it (or if it) arrives.
