Product summary
The good: Ready Link walkie-talkie function; extensive voice recorder; clear call quality; speakerphone; analog roaming.
The bad: Short talk-time battery life; a bit bulky.
The bottom line: Though the battery life for Sanyo's RL-4920 was a bit disappointing, it's a solid performer with good features.

The 1.6-inch-diagonal, 65,536-color display is vibrant and easy to read in both dark rooms and bright outdoor environments. Below it, you'll find six control keys and a four-way navigation pad. The control keys are a bit cramped, but we never had a problem with hitting the wrong button. Likewise, the backlit dial keys are well spaced, with the numbers slightly raised off the body of the handset.
On the Sanyo's left spine, you find two volume-control buttons, and below that is a larger key for the Ready Link functions. We wish Sanyo had ditched the external antenna for an internal model, which would have cut down on the phone's size.
The Sanyo RL-4920 includes a 300-entry phone book. Each entry can store up to seven numbers and includes room for e-mail and Web addresses. You save Ready Link numbers in a personal list, which can hold up to 200 contacts (businesses that establish a PCS Ready Link server can create company lists, which only the server administrator can maintain). When you press the Ready Link button, you see a display of all the contacts stored in your personal list. Scroll down to select the proper contact, then press the Ready Link button again to make a walkie-talkie-style call. The contact and personal lists are completely separate, so when you save a number to one, it won't show up in the other. Continue reading- See more CNET content tagged:
