5600 hinge or 8200/8300/200/2300 hinge?

My opinion is that the 5600 style hinge is tougher and less likely to break than the 8200/8300/2300/200 hinge, mainly because of the thin plastic on the corners. Ive seen WAAAAY more of all 4 of these broken, but, of course, the 5600 isnt a great seller. What do you all think?

i think over all sanyo is not that grea tof a product. they have bad sodders (the standardized port goes out the key board goes out and so does the head set) and they also have bad hinges. but wha twould i know? i am only one of the guys that fixes it. i am sure every sales person hear will say sanyo is the best. 🤣

in my oppenion. samsungs are good they actually have the best voice clarity on the sprint network. but their hinges break as well but not as often as the sanyos

i am very inpressed with the new lgs the 125, 225, 325, 535. all have excellent signal and do not come back with many problems unless they have gotten wet.

pluse i have yet to see a cracked hinge on the 125 or 225.

to be honest i would rank sanyo at least as good as samsung and lg but no better. i would rank the new lg phones and samsung phones of great quallity

Thanks for the INFO, I have the SAnyo 8100 for about 2 years, and its been wonderful, no broken hinges and great signal. But I am very careful with my stuff, so maybe thats why my hinge is still intact lol thanks for the info tho for my future phone 😉

the 8100 was the greatest sanyo ever made, but it is one of those with the cracked hinge issue. but dam that phone was a power house signal on that phone was amazeing. one of the best phones ever made. i think that is part of the reason i was so dissapointed with the 8200. the 8100 is an impossable act to fallow
