Mobile network service providers are being lured big time by the smartphone manufacturers with their wonderful phones being introduced at regular intervals.

Sprint, for instance has decided to release two messaging smartphones later this spring namely the Sanyo SCP-2700 and the dark red version of the LG Lotus which is already making a mark in retail stores. Mobile phones and mobile phones accessories at its best!

Sanyo SCP-2700 is a nicely designed candybar handset sporting an excellent full QWERTY keyboard, along with amazing functionality such as Sprint Navigator, Sprint Mobile Email Work and Sprint Family Locator services. In addition, the phone comes laden with general aspects such as advanced Bluetooth connectivity, a 2.2" TFT display, a 1.3 megapixel camera and 1xRTT connectivity.

Sanyo SCP-2700 is all set to make its way this May in blue and pink colors, with a price tag of $29.99 with a 2-year contract and $50 mail-in rebate. Talking about the dark red LG Lotus, one can fairly expect this one to retail for the same price as well since the only change is its color!
