The Sanyo Katana Eclipse is now up and available via the Sprint store. The latest Katana model sports nice flashing lights that let you know who is calling, MicroSD card, 1.3 megapixel camera. Pair this up on a Sprint SERO plan (they’re still around – but Sprint calls them an Everything Plus plan- and about $10/month cheaper than a regular Sprint plan). If you’re having trouble scoring a Sprint employee email and ID number – check our story here which tells you how to get one with little effort.
