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.	Despite a few quirks, the Sanyo Katana Eclipse is an excellent midrange multimedia phone for Sprint customers.	The Sanyo Katana LX is a decent entry-level camera phone for its price range.	The Samsung Instinct stands out as one of Sprint's finest devices to date. It's just too bad its call quality could use some improvement.	Though the LG Rumor is not as fast as we'd like, it's still a great messaging multimedia device for those who don't need a lot of speed.
