In many ways, the Sanyo Katana for Sprint is a testament to the marketing and engineering geniuses at....Motorola. Motorola's marketing team taught the industry the value of a name for a phone instead of just a model designation (ie. "XYZ123i"). Their engineers came up with the new and improved clamshell/folder form factor that places the phone's antenna in the bulge beneath the keypad, and they were among the first to embed the camera module in the hinge of a clamshell in such a way that allows for modules that are thicker than the top half of the folder design itself. All wonderful things that Sanyo, and many others, have grabbed hold of and run with.
