"So thin"
The Sanyo SCP-6000 is 0.39 inches thick... that tells you how thin it is. It is as thick as a pile of 5 or 6 dimes, or if you prefer, as thick as a pen and yet, it has numerous good features, being the little brother of the superb Sanyo SCP-5000 phone introduced earlier in the year 2001.

MIDI polyphonic ringtones, sizeable fonts that can let you surf the wireless web or edit SMS messages with more than 10 lines of text, downloadable black and white photos, a game, a calendar, it has a lot to offer! The display's backlight can even be changed from a bright green to a warm amber. That, along with the small size, impressed my friends.

The keys are thin and sometimes you have to reach the bottom of the phone to press the menu key then go back to the navigation key, then back to menu, which sums up to too much thumb workout.
