Yeah, just get a nokia and cancer while you're at it. I can't confirm 100% that it is true, but I don't think it would hurt to save your own life down the road. >>

Before you start spreading your third-hand anecdotal information as science do a little research.
To the topic at hand, the sanyo phone seems to be a CDMA phone, whereas the 8860 is a TDMA phone....
Nokia phones have absolutely the easiest to use and most intuitive interface. Personally, I like phones that are just phones, not phones, web broswers, organizers, etc. Since you seem to not be attached to one technology (CDMA, TDMA) or carrier, I would suggest looking into GSM.. Nokia tends to put more features into its GSM phones (The 8290 has detachable faceplates, infrared, the 8260 does not) not to mention that the 8290 is smaller than the 8260 and GSM sound quality is far better than TDMA or CDMA.
If you want a phone with all the extra bells and whistles I know Nokia is going to be releasing one (at least in Europe) soon.
