Judged by its own merits, the sturdy i800 offers an attractive package of functions and performance. But compared to Sprint's PowerVision/ReadyLink phones, such as the similarly spec'd Sanyo M1, the i880 is a piker. Unlike the M1 (which also offers a 2 MP camera, MP3 player and ReadyLink walkie-talkie capabilities), the i880 is not an EV-DO phone and lacks HTML web browsing and access to Sprint's PowerVision multimedia options. Yet, the i880 is $150 more than the Sanyo M1: $499.99 (M1) vs. $349.99 (i880) or you can get the i880 for $299.99 with contract and rebates (the M1 is $199.99 with contract and rebates). While more fun than its predecessors, the i880 is still more appropriate for the more well-heeled business user.
