For business users, the Katana DLX can be a great “second phone” for those ties when your PDA phone is just too big. Overall, this is a very nice phone, if mostly undifferentiated from the masses in terms of function.

Description: A katana is a sword carried by a samurai, and the imagery here for this phone is also appropriate. The Katana DLX is a sleek phone that screams cool in admittedly understated fashion. Very much aimed at the consumer market, this phone has all of the usual toys: Bluetooth 2.0, a 1.3 megapixel digital camera, large color display, voice-activated dialing, support for Sprint’s Power Vision TV service and a stereo music player. But it also has EV-DO network connectivity for fast data access, a microSD slot, and support for the Bluetooth (or USB) dial-up networking protocol, which lets you use the phone as a “modem” for a PC.
