Bell recently announced the twin releases of its mobile phones, Sanyo PRO-200 and PRO-700, in the month of January. Though there was no confirmation about the same, Bell was to have introduced the phones today. But that has not yet happened, so we will have to await that day patiently. The Sanyo’s cutest couple, the PRO-200 and the PRO-700, is slated to be heading towards Bell Canada within this month end. The flip phones are actually built rugged and can withstand a good deal of rough city-life mal-handling. Appearances are indeed deceptive, right?

The Sanyo phones support 3G data connectivity, GPS and Bluetooth. The PRO-200 is supposed to cost around the range of $149.95 to $349.95, depending on the kind of contract you choose to undertake. The PRO-700, on the other hand, is said to cost about $50 more. You may even choose to go contract-free, in which case, your wallet will be lighter by $399. So if you are looking to get yourself a rugged flip phone this New Year, do consider the Sanyo duo.
