Sprint PCS just loves to entertain the masses with its multimedia phones, and its latest offering, the Sanyo MM-8300, goes a long way toward achieving that goal. The sleek and sexy flip phone features an integrated VGA camera that also records video and supports streaming audio and video--and, on top of all this, it's a solid mobile with excellent call quality and Sprint's Ready Link service. Yet, all is not perfect. It was disappointing to see that the high-end handset lacks Bluetooth and an infrared port, as well as video streaming over the slower 2.5G network.

That said, you should be able to find it cheaper with service.Sprint's Sanyo MM-8300's understated style is what makes it so sexy. The sleek flip phone sports a silver chassis that gives it an elegant and classic look, although you can spice it up with changeable accent covers; silver and midnight blue covers are included, and 12 more colors are available through Sprint. Alternatively, while we tested the silver version, there are red and blue models available as well. The MM-8300 is slimmer and more compact (3.35 by 1.85 by 1.0 inches; 3.6 ounces) than its Sprint multimedia cousins, the Sanyo MM-5600 and Sanyo MM-7400, making it a nice travel companion. In addition, it has a solid construction, opening and shutting firmly.
