Early Look at Sprint's Samsung M510 and Sanyo 7050

Nothing super exclusive here. I was able to snag a few pics of these upcoming phones so why not post em? According to SprintUsers the Samsung M510 and Sanyo 7050 will drop in April. Are these phones really cool... no.

The M510 is definitely better than the M500 but that phone was weak anyway. First thing I noticed about this phone was the "menu
> settings > display > 0" trick for the Debug Menu is not there.  
Not sure if its been moved or just removed altogether yet.  
The debug menu was loved by many for allowing you to disable 
modem nai for free tethering.  DDTM could also be disabled to 
allow incoming calls while in an EVDO session. 

The Sanyo 7050 is just your average rugged Sanyo flip.
A step up from the weak 2400/3100/7000 but I'd rank it
under the 7500.  Lack of EVDO ruins this phone for me.  
Nothing new for this phone other than looks.

I'll be holding off for the Samsung M620(Flipper) being released early next month.

Sanyo 7050 is not a big deal for consumers. However, it is huge for businesses that use location based services. The Sprint b2b sales channel has been dying for a CDMA model that has the same functionality as the Motorollas on the old Nextel iDEN network. This is the first handset that really does that.
