With a brilliant color screen, support for Sprint's Ready Link walkie-talkie capability, polyphonic ringtones, a speakerphone, and more, the svelte Sanyo VI-2300 has the essential features that keep busy folks connected.
Design
The VI-2300 follows the tried and true clamshell form factor. The large 128 x 128 color screen features support for 65,000 colors, while a smaller monochrome display on the front cover displays incoming call information, battery and signal strength, and the time and date. The phone's center selection button allows you to control the phone's menus and features, and a 2.5 mm headphone jack provides compatibility with most handsfree headsets. The Ready Link service is operated by a button on the left side of the phone-- walkie-talkie style.
Calling Features
The VI-2300's built-in address book allows you to assign up to 300 entries, each storing seven numbers, with a total capacity of up to 500 numbers, and 300 email and Web addresses. A separate Ready Link phone book provides easy access to 200 personal contacts and 200 company-provided contacts. As mentioned, polyphonic ringtones are included, and you can choose from eight multi-chord melodic ring tones and eight traditional ring tones. There's also a vibrating alert for when you want to be discreet. You can even customize the phone's Ready Link tone with one of five different options.
A handy speakerphone makes it easy to talk to callers without having the phone to your ear, and the speakerphone doubles as an audible voice machine that lets you screen your calls. Perhaps most importantly for users in rural areas, the VI-2300 is a tri-mode phone, meaning it can operate on Sprint's digital PCS network, as well as analog networks that serve many outlying areas. A voice dialing feature makes it possible to call your contacts by simply speaking their names. Lastly, you can customize your caller ID by assigning a downloaded image or photo to the contacts in your internal phone book.
The VI-2300's Ready Link feature lets you enjoy the convenience of quick, walkie-talkie style communication at the touch of a button with one or several Ready Link users anywhere you go (Sprint PCS Ready Link service charges apply).
Messaging, Internet and Tools
Because the VI-2300 supports PCS Vision services, messaging features are robust. You can easily send and receive email, exchange text messages, or join a chat room. Support is built in for instant messaging clients from AOL, MSN and Yahoo!, so you're never out of touch when you can't make a call. PCS Vision mobile Web services also let you check out sports scores, get your seven-day forecast, check your flight status, and stay up to date with the latest news. Experience full-color graphic versions of popular Web sites or purchase and download premium applications, games, ringers, and screensavers to your VI-2300. T9 text entry, a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built-into the unit-- a plus for mobile web and messaging users.
A number of handy software tools are bundled with the VI-2300, including an alarm clock that can be set one time or daily, a calendar with a to-do list and scheduler, a calculator, and a world clock. You'll also get a voice recorder that can record up to 72 seconds of voice data or call memos. What's more, the VI-2300 features an embedded global positioning system (GPS) chip necessary for using 911 emergency location services, where available. A PC synchronization application allows you to synchronize your contacts, addresses and other data with your computer.
Games and Custom Graphics
As mentioned, the VI-2300 supports game downloads so you can pass the time while you're on the bus or the train. Meanwhile, you can customize the look of your phone with a selection of themes and skins for the phone's interface.
