| Subject: Sprint and Sanyo Offer the MM-8300 With 'Accent Plates' Sun Jun 28, 2009 10:52 am | |
| Sprint has released the Sanyo MM-8300, adding a built-in media player and Video Mail functionality in a stylish handset. Color can spark emotion. Now, adding that spark to a mobile phone is as easy as slipping on an "Accent Plate" - an interchangeable color trim element designed for use with the Sprint PCS Vision Multimedia Phone MM-8300 by Sanyo. The Sanyo MM-8300, being offered in three dynamic "base" colors - Silver, Atlantic Blue, and Red Hot - comes standard with two Accent Plate color choices, and a multitude of other Accent Plate colors will be sold separately. Mixing and matching the base colors with the Accent Plates results in a host of distinctive personalization choices. The MM-8300 features a built-in media player and offers customers access to 19 channels of high-quality video and audio on demand through the Sprint PCS Vision Multimedia Service. With this optional service, customers can keep informed with live news from FOX News Channel Live or stay on top of the hottest music with Music Choice. They can also entertain themselves or their kids with classic "Looney Tunes" cartoons or preview what movies are coming out from major motion-picture studios Warner Bros. Pictures, Warner Independent Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox and Universal Pictures. The MM-8300, as well as three other models by Sanyo, comes in multiple colors, making it easy for family members to own the same phone but in different colors, giving each family member their own unique identity with their mobile phone. Some of these phones also come with interchangeable color faceplates or color Accent Plates for additional color variety. Leatrice Eiseman, color specialist and author of five books on color, including Color Answer Book, said in a recent television segment that up to sixty percent of the reason we buy a product is based on color. The Sanyo MM-8300 has a rich feature set, including a built-in camcorder, VGA camera with flash and digital zoom, and a high-quality speakerphone. It supports Sprint PCS Vision, a service that allows customers to browse the Internet at speeds faster than most dial-up connections; check email and send instant messages; and download Music Tones, voice ringers, and full-color, graphically-rich games and screen savers, all on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. The MM-8300 is Picture Mail-, Video Mail-, Sprint PCS Ready Link- and SMS-text-messaging-capable. It will be available nationwide for $299.99 or $149.99 after rebate the week of July 11. | |
