The Bottom Line	The Sanyo Katana DLX is the best Sanyo cell phone to date, with a fashionable design, plenty of features, and good performance.	The Sanyo 6600 Katana pales in comparison to the Motorola Razr and the Samsung MM-A900 in terms of design and features. But on its own, it's a pretty good midtier phone.	While the Sanyo Katana II is not hugely improved over the first Katana, it's still a pretty good phone, especially for its price range.	The Sanyo Katana LX is a decent entry-level camera phone for its price range.	Despite a few quirks, the Sanyo Katana Eclipse is an excellent midrange multimedia phone for Sprint customers.
