Except for the interface lag it was brilliant and a huge step up from the Nokia 8110 I had before it ( matrix phone for those who dont know). I paid somwhere in the AU$800 mark (cant remember exactly) and was really bummed when they were closing out at AU$129.

    Hey John,,I had a sanyo,, can't remember the name,,but it mimiced the Razor. Didn't have the power or maybe all the quality of the Razor, but cost half as much. Made out of metal as well,, same thin design. I loved sanyo phone at that time because of the speakers. Thick yas, but that's because the high resolution screen and big loud speaker was the top flip of the phone. My last flip was the sanyo m1. High resolution screen,,not much good high resolution did on a 11/2 inch screen. But that was pretty cool back then. Cept for internet searching and the like,,i kinda miss the simplicity of the true phones. Now we have baby computers that have basic phone service.
