Review: Sanyo SCP-9000
"This is a premium phone, no doubt about that. The Sanyo SCP-9000 costs NZ$699 on an open term contract, and on Telecom’s Mytime 12 to 24 month plans; those who sign up for the 36-month Anytime Go 400 or 800 at NZ$213.75 or NZ$337.50 per month respectively get phone thrown in for free, with discounts available on the lower-cost Anytime plans.
What do you get for that money then? The big draw-card is access to Telecom’s T3G service, which is CDMA 1xRTT with an EV-DO Rev 0 data overlay. This means fast Internet connectivity: Telecom says 300-500kbit/s downloads are typical, but in good conditions, I’ve seen the EV-DO network hit 900kbit/s down and 120kbit/s up, with latency times of 90-110ms. That’s not too shabby for a mobile network solution....
