ESPN Phone

[LUCKY 7]

Anybody get this phone yet? I was thinking of getting one, and I wanted to get some reviews.

No, but interested.

Oh yeah. I meant to check what manufacturer made that phone. I think there is going to be a HUGE number of units sold.

From ESPN Mobile page:

The Sanyo MVP is the first phone designed uniquely with sports fans in mind. Just press the ?E? button to gain one-touch access to the world of Mobile ESPN. The Sanyo MVP also offers state-of-the-art voice and multimedia capabilities.

This looks like a cool phone, but from what I could see, thats pretty much it. The thing I dont like about their advertising is in all of its mentioning of highlights and watch this clip and that, it doesnt say anything about dont download too much video, as any month over 35MB brings more charges - so "unlimited" downloads arent really unlimited. Looks pretty cool, but its one of those things I would want to wait 6 months to see how it plays out. I have had a Treo for a few years and can read espn.com as well as get scores and stuff, so it would be hard to switch. Still its a cool idea.

it also uses the sprint/nextel network as far as coverage, so it is not real strong in some areas.
