Sanyo Zio Review

Sanyo Zio Android phone features Sprint ID, a user-friendly new means of customizing Android content on mobile phones. Sprint ID allows Sanyo Zio users to instantly download ID packs that deliver a predefined experience, including applications, widgets, ringtones and wallpapers, all at once. As beautiful as it is powerful, Sanyo Zio is only .5” thick and weighs only 3.7 ounces, making it one of the thinnest, lightest Android devices on the market.
