Those of you eager for the nationwide release of the Sanyo Pro-700 featuring Sprint’s Push-to-Talk QChat technology can satisfy your curiosity a little. There’s a hands-on review (including several pictures) at the SprintUsers forum. The phone garners high praise from the reviewer for including a way to update the PRL (preferred roaming list) directly from the menu as well as a micro usb charging port. No feedback yet on the phone’s ability to Direct Connect Nextel subscribers (a key function of the phone).

Sprint’s Sanyo Pro-200 and Sanyo Pro-700 are currently in limited distribution in the states of Kansas and Colorado with more extensive distribution hoped for in early June. The Sanyo Pro-700 is noteworthy because it is Sprint’s long awaited effort to provide their customers with CDMA handsets that can connect with Nextel’s iDen based handsets. The Sanyo Pro-700 also appears to be Sprint’s first EVDO Rev A non-smartphone.
