We're not sure we'd pick the Sanyo Pro 200 over the rugged, military-spec Sanyo Pro 700, which doesn't cost much more, but even by itself the Pro 200 makes a great addition to the Direct Connect lineup. Release: June 2008. Price: $40. A wealth of messaging options and a quick, though basic Web browser were also surprising finds. We definitely prefer this phone to its recently-released sibling, the Sanyo Pro 200, and on such a rugged device we're willing to forgive the bulldog face. Release: June 2008. Price: $90. . Pros: Rugged on the outside, refined on the inside. Loads of features, including GPS and lots of messaging options. . Cons: When reception dips, so does call quality. Direct Connect doesn't work outside of EV-DO Rev. A coverage.
