Help. I'm planning to replace my existing Sprint phone (a 4-year-old Samsung 8500) with a new one: either the Sanyo 4500 or 8200. I need your advice.

I don't much care about the camera or the web access. The things I do care about are:

1. Best reception/fewest dropped calls
2. Sound clarity
3. Speakerphone quality
4. Battery life

Any insights or suggestions would be appreciated.

My local store hasn't got the 8200 yet, but I have owned every sanyo since the 4700 except the 8100) , and they get better each time--the battery life with these isn;t the greatest with the std battery, but with the bigger bat, all is well---I keep seeing these posts about speaker quality, but other than the old 5300 which wasn't loud enough, they all have been fine--none of them ever drop a call, unless the call is very, very important

Speakers on these are very loud--if desired
