I am thinking of buying a Sanyo 8300 but I am concerned about the battery life. Has anyone experienced battery problems, or other problems, with this phone or Sanyo in general?

My Sanyo 8200 had great battery life. No complaints at all.

I only ditched it in favour of a Vodafone handset because I needed bluetooth and couldn't afford to spend too much on a new handset.

I have a had a lot to do with Sanyo handset usage here, and battery life is not a concern with them as far as I am aware. In fact they could probably be termed as "good" across the entire range.

The 8300 seems a waste of money to me, all it has extra is the video. And the front *spew* it is so ugly! The 8200 is the best out of about 8 phones i have ever had, battery lasts about 3days with excessive use, and also the phone is nearly a year old too.

You can get pretty much the same spec in the 7400 for $100 less.....
