Sprint SCP-2400 Review

Laptop Magazine decided to take a second away from their Laptop reviews to take a look at the Sprint SCP-2400.

Targeted toward parents concerned about their children’s safety—not to mention shockingly high phone bills—the Sanyo SCP-2400 offers a lot of versatility for a very reasonable price. Sprint’s free parental control software lets you set which numbers this clamshell can dial, as well as which numbers your kids can receive calls from. Plus, you can lock out services that cost extra, such as text messaging. We’re not so sure, however, that the different color faceplates make up for the lack of cutting-edge features.

The SCP-2400 is certainly basic, and it shows. It’s large and heavy for a clamshell (measuring one-inch thick). You can take your pick of five colors (Silver Sky, Midnight Black, Dark Bronze, True Blue, and Misty Rose). The silver unit we tested has all the charm of army surplus.

In the end they give the SCP-2400 a three out of five, thanks to the fact that it is inexpensive, has a good battery life, and parental controls. They mention disliking its size, lack of a camera, and spotty reception. For more inexpensive phones, check out Digital Advisor.
