Well, the 8100 is no longer sold by SPCS. It's been replaced with the 8200.
I don't see the 5400 advertised on SPCS's web site. Have you considered
going with the 4920?

4900 was one of the best phones ever, if its still working ok, keep it

My wife and son each have an 8200 and I have a 7300 (I needed a phone
without a camera, many clients I visit do not allow cameras). I'm not
impressed at all with the sound quality, or reception for that matter, of
these 2 Sanyos. I think the good Sanyo reputation I heard so much about was
built on the earlier models. My old Mot v60 on ATT sounded much better.

On the other hand, in spite of the fake ruggedization of the 7300, it's held
up well after hitting pavement a couple of times.

Also, everyone at Sanyo must be very hard of hearing. Even with my 53 year
old ears, I have to keep the volume down close to the minimum.
