Sanyo Katana: the refreshed look on thin form factor

Credit: pcsintel.com via Engadget Mobile

If the shots above are really of Sanyo's Katana 6600 handset, then Sanyo did a great job of...copying Motorola's Razr following the "thin" trend in handset manufacturing. While Katana does closely resemble the look of Motorola's Razr, it definitely a break-through for the Japanese maker in terms of design implementation and overall coolness. US carrier Sprint is surely to win some customers with Katana. The only thing to complain about Katana is its standard features, which, according to Engadget Mobile, include a "mere VGA camera and Bluetooth". Plus, Katana is lacking EV-DO support. The presence of a 2.2-inch QVGA display is to be appreciated though. Overall, Japanese makers who plan to expand abroad should closely watch Sanyo’s moves for the learning purposes.
