well I guess it's for Cingular. IMO sprint has the best services but their phones are way too bulky. They need to come up with something a tad bit smaller then the current lines. I might have to jump ship just to get this phone.

The thinnest phone on the planet, ever.

The Sanyo 6000.

Not a lot of people bought it.

Ultra thin is not in. Thin is good, but not super thin.

Ugly? That's why it won so many awards. And why it was so popular in Japan, I guess because they like smaller gadgets and on average, their hands are smaller. The phone is 3 years old, of course it not attractive today. It was killer back then. But yeah, it was overpriced.

True. We'll see how well the Moto does today; are people willing to pay for thin. My guess is they will sell some but not many. Just like the Sanyo 6000.

Yeah I've seen that phone....it's too long and it's not a flip phone. I hate dealing with key locks.
