The sound on reception is better with the Nokia

My Nokia is 3 years old and running stront. I still have the 6585 and it
works well. There are many people who hate Nookuia and you have the right
to , However it is a great phone

I think you've been given great information, basically. Sanyo phones
have a very strong loyal following within SprintPCS. But earpiece
clarity *has* been an ongoing disappointment, even on wildly popular
phones like the 8100 or the VM4500. I don't hear everyone complaining,
but those who bring it up have usually tried other models, too.

Since you say reception is prime in your considerations, I honestly
don't believe you can go wrong with either brand with what Sprint
offers. But to compare the two... I've never tried the Nokias myself,
because I prefer flip phones.
