Built to take advantage of Sprint’s Push-to-talk over cellular technology or PTT, here comes a duo of new phones, the Sanyo Pro-200 and Sanyo Pro-700. Both are going to have a clamshell form factor, and offer standard cellphone features such as text messaging, mobile email and Bluetooth connectivity. And while both phones support Qualcomm’s QChat technology, Group Connect, and remote contact information management via the Sprint Mobile Sync online tool, there are still a few little differences that distinguish these phones from each other.

For example, the Sanyo Pro-200 will be slimmer than its sibling and coated in silver, available for only $49.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and 2-year service agreement. And the Sanyo Pro-700, on the other hand, should be good for rough riders who need a phone that’s as tough as it gets. This one sells for $69.99 after rebate and a 2-year service agreement.

It seems Sprint users have something to look forward to, a new selection of phones to choose from. A selection of new phones are expected to be launched on April 16 and seem to offer a nice selection.

First up is the LG LX400, a clamshell phone with Qchat push-to-talk network compatibility. Next up are a few models from Sanyo, the PRO-200 which is a slim clamshell that is expected to retail for $249.99, the PRO-700 which is a rugged phone that is dust and shock resistant that is expected to retail for $269.99 and the Katana LX which is a budget minded phone that will show up in pink, black and blue. Wrapping the new additions is the BlackBerry Curve 8830 in a new titanium color, which will join the existing black version.

In addition to the phones Sprint is also expected to add the Sierra Wireless 597 data card, which is also expected to hit the lineup as of April 16.
