Sprint and RadioShack have had a pretty healthy distribution relationship for the past few years, so it made sense they're making certain phones available exclusively via the nationwide retailer. The security features of the S1 will appeal to parents and business consumers. Keys can be manually locked or the S1 may be to lock automatically after the phone has been idle for 15 seconds. Incoming and outgoing calls can be restricted to those who are in the phone-200-entry phone book, so that the consumers have full control over contacts. It does have a nice matte finish on the back, which allows for a better grip. On the front is a 1.7-inch 65,000-color display, with a decent resolution of 128x160 pixels. The screen quality won't blow anyone away, but images looked fine, and colors didn't seem too washed out. You can adjust the backlight time, the font size, plus the screen's contrast. The Sanyo S1 is pretty light on features, so let's get right to it. The Sanyo S1 comes with a dinky 200-entry phonebook with room in each entry for six numbers, e-mail and Web addresses, a home address, and a memo. You can also assign the number to groups, plus one of 16 polyphonic ringtones. With Bluetooth, the S1 can be tied to a laptop for web browsing. This function can also be obtained by using a lock code. The S1 supports instant, text and multimedia messages. Other features include speech recognition, a speaker, a calendar, alarm clock, a calculator and a stopwatch.
