Tweet

Just yesterday we’ve shown you the Pantech Impact, a phone ready to meet your messaging needs which will be available in AT&T stores for $99.99 with a new contract. Today we have a similar phone to show you. The Sanyo Incognito SCP-6760 has been officially announced by Sprint and it also happens to a phone dedicated to hardcore texters.

The Sanyo Incognito will be available starting with December 6 for just $49.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate with a new two-year contract from Sprint. The phone will be available online a week earlier so starting with November 30 you can already buy the Incognito. Bundle it with an Everything Data plan and you’ll be good to go.

Just like the Impact, the Incognito has a screen and a touch-friendly keypad on the outside. Once you need to send fast messages and emails you can flip open the phone. The external OLED display and keypad will be replaced by an internal 2.6-inch QVGA display and a full QWERTY keyboard.

Other features include haptic feedback for the external keyboard, a 2.0-megpixel camera, music and audio features, microSD support, and, naturally, access to the Internet. The Incognito comes with support for Facebook, MySpace and Twitter. Sprint services like Sprint Navigator, Sprint NFL Mobile Live, NASCAR Sprint Cup Mobile and Sprint Mobile Email are also available. The music and video player supports AAC, AAC+, MP3 and WMA files and H.263, H.264, MPEG4 and WMV video formats. Lots of useful features, right?

Atsushi Kodera, vice president and deputy general manager at Kyocera Communications had this to say about the Incognito and its capabilities:

I’m sure Incognito will be topping many holiday gift lists this season. It’s such a clean, sophisticated looking phone but there are so many features at your fingertips when you turn on the glow-through display and open the QWERTY flip. With its amazing combination of style and functionality for less than $50, it’s about as foolproof a gift idea as you’ll see this year.

Do you agree?
