I have been comparing my old samsung (MM 920) to my current sanyo (Katana II)

heres what i've come up with---

Voice quality - My katana II has a muffled, unclear voice quality to it on a call sometimes, depending on who i talk to and where they are and how they are holding their phone and speaking. However, on my samsung, tho its been a while since i have used it, i cannot remember such a problem. im gunna have to give my samsung a bit more credit in this catagory.

Signal - I think this one goes to my katana II. I generally get better signal with this phone then i did with my samsung. There are certain places where the signal is significantly better with my katanaII, which is a good thing.

Calling/texting -- Tho i did say my sanyo gets better signal strength than my samsung, when i can place a call and a text on the two is a little different. On my katana II , when i have zero bars (but still signal) i am rarely to never able to do anything with that. BUT on my samsung when i had zero bars (but still signal) i would still be able to call(clearly) , text, and the works.


For whenever i get a new phone -- Idk what i'd do. (giving myself a choice of stayin wit sanyo or goin back to samsung). Maybe other sanyo's dont have the slightly muffled and unclear call quality that my katana II has now, which would mean i'd stay within the sanyo brand. But if i see they do, i'd most likely look for a samsung.

what does everyone else think about sanyo/samsung?

Sanyo phones have always been superior to samsung phones. the kat 2 is actually one of sanyo's lower end phones.

You would probably like the katana dlx more. i haven't had any problems with it that couldn't be solved with a power cycle. keep in mind i use my phones to thier fullest potential and stretch thier limits. as for the sound quality of the earpiece sanyo's you have to hold a certain way for it to sound best. they design it that way so you don't block the antenna while talking, but most people can't figure that out.

There was a change in network technology about a two years back that allowed double the amount of people on the system, but it reduced sound quality to do this. The sound quality reduction is generally only noticed when more people are on it. The negative is it doesn't sound as good, the positive is you get to actually talk to someone.

As for Sanyo vs. Samsung, JD Powers and associates have rated the Sanyo either tied or sole possession of the top spot on the cell manufacturer list for 8 years in a row, Samsung has never shared that position with Sanyo. Sanyo must be doing something right. Sanyo usually get's very high marks for signal strength, battery life, and more often then not durability in a phone not designed for mil spec.

woahh. Sound quality? have does the system determine the sound quality on the phone? doesnt the phone itself sound the way it sounds? how can a system change your phone's sound quality?

The system can easily change the sound quality on your phone, because it doesn't do it on the phone, but the system itself reduces available bandwidth per call when it reaches it's standard capacity, at this point in time it goes to extended capacity and the call quality reduces.

If the phone always sounds that way, then it is the phone, if the phone only occasionally sounds that way, more likely it's the network.

Hence the saying, the phone is only as good as the network it's on.
