In late 2006, Sanyo M1 has made an impressive introduction; not only for being one of the most high-end handset in the US but what really is amazing about Sanyo M1 is for being the first mobile phone having 1GB internal memory. This is fully loaded with multi-media that can delight the user.

Sanyo M1 can store up to 16 hours of music (or it can be data and/or images). It also comes with a 2 mega-pixel camera with auto-focus. To 3D gamer out there I’m pretty sure that will enjoy playing the built-in games on this handset that includes Pac-Man, Midnight Bowling and a demo of Tetris. This Sony M1 is available for $199.

CNET Reviews:

The good: The Sanyo M1 is a feature-packed multimedia phone with a 2-megapixel camera, EV-DO support, ReadyLink (Sprint’s push-to-talk service), a music player, stereo speakers, access to Power Vision content such as streaming audio and video, and an astounding 1GB of internal memory. Audio quality is good as well.

The bad: The Sanyo M1 is a boxy and clunky handset. You’ll also have a hard time taking self-portraits due to the lack of a self-portrait mirror and the location of the camera. It can be hard to view the screen in bright daylight.

The bottom line: The Sanyo M1 is a multimedia-powerhouse cell phone from Sprint. It won’t win any design awards, but its solid feature set and 1GB of internal memory make this an excellent handset for media junkies.
