The Sanyo Pro-700 is the company’s first Direct Connect phone. The Sanyo Pro-700 may not be it’s final name, but it’s the name given when Sanyo filed FCC papers. Today, the handset was shown to have been approved for use in the United States. Look for this handset to show up in the next few months, or possibly sooner.
PhoneScoop has more: “This clamshell has dual displays, EVDO data, Bluetooth, and Direct Connect capabilities. Not much else was shown on the documents. The Sanyo Pro-700 has not been formally announced from any U.S. carriers” - although it’s assumed that Sprint-Nextel may pick it up.

Kyocera has purchased Sanyo's unprofitable mobile division for $375 million; this includes Sanyo's handset manufacturing operations and sales channels in Japan and other countries.
However, the manufacturer's brand won't be changed. This way Kyocera hopes to expand its penetration in foreign markets, especially U.S.

"Rugged" seems to be the latest word doing the rounds at CES this year. Samsung did it with its Samsung Solid and Sanyo is following suit with the SCP-7050, going a step further to call it "ultra rugged" and "rugged enough to be compliant with military standard 810F for dust, shock, and vibration."...

WillCOM is always good for an interesting take on mobile phone design. We love seeing what the Japanese company is going to come up with next - modular, torch-light, headphoneswhat’s next? Well, their newest concept is the fruit of a joint project with Sanyo - the AA battery-powered mobile phone that you see to the right. This thing is just about as bare-bones as it gets. You get a few buttons, a receiving speaker, microphone, and…that’s it. No display, no extraneous buttons, nothing more than what you need to make a simple phone call.

Check out this weird phone from Sanyo for the Japanese market. It is of a cylindrical shape and is powered by an AA sized battery. Unfortunately, the phone only offers very basic phone functions...in this case just calls."

Bell Mobility in Canada is adding two new devices to its offering - LG Shine clamshell and Sanyo S1. The first one is probably among the coolest lookin’ clamshell devices on the market today and packs such features as 2 MP camera, stereo Bluetooth, music player and the microSD memory slot. On the other hand, the Sanyo S1 is an entry level device for people who just need to text and call. It lacks camera and the Bluetooth support is limited to mono sound.
The LG Shine clamshell is available for CA$129.95 with a 3-year term or CA$379.95 without any contract. On the other hand, you can get the Sanyo S1 for just CA$19.95 with a 3-year term or buy it for CA$149.99 without committing to any contracts.

Wow, it really looks like Sanyo is offloading all of it’s mobile phone divisions. The latest mobile phone arm to take new ownership is Sanyo’s mobile phone sales division. TelePark Corp. has ponied up 4.8 billion yen ($41.6 million) to Sanyo for the mobile phone manufacturer’s sales department.
We should make it clear that TelePark has not acquired Sanyo’s mobile phone division - that would go to Kyocera. However, this deal just confirms that Sanyo wants out of the mobile phone business and

Remember that Sprint roadmap we mentioned not long ago? There was talk of an SCP-4930 replacement dubbed "S1" reportedly dropping in October, and what we're seeing now in the FCC would pretty much back up that statement. Sanyo's got a confidentiality agreement in full effect here, sadly, but we can make out from the ID label documentation that we're pretty clearly dealing with a candybar of some sorts. Despite the naming convention, we've been hearing that the S1 will slot in lower than the high-end (at the time, anyway) M1, so don't get your.....
