ESPN SANYO MVP Cell Phone
ESPN and SANYO announced the SANYO MVP, a clamshell cell phone targeted at sports enthusiasts. The MVP (most valuable phone?) offers a one-touch access to a host of content from ESPN, including (but not limited to) player stats, live scores, team stats, etc.
The MVP is also a neat little multimedia phone, with an integrated audio player supporting MP3/AAC/AAC+ file formats. The included 1.3 megapixel camera allows you to capture photos and videos and store it on a miniSD card.
With EV-DO support, the phone can deliver video and audio clips and sports highlights seamlessly on the large 2.1" QVGA TFT LCD screen. Even when the phone is closed, you can access sports information on the external screen.
More info is available from Sanyo's website, as well as Mobile ESPN. If you purchase it before Dec 31st, you can get it for US $249.
