The Katana Eclipse is a CDMA digital dual band phone with EV-DO for fast data. The Katana has a 1.3 megapixel camera with 12x zoom, and the camera phone can also record video. The camera can capture still images at three resolutions: 960 x 1280, 480 x 640 and 240 x 320 and in three quality levels. The Katana Eclipse offers manual settings for white balance, brightness, sharpness, contrast and has self-timer and multi-shot modes. The Katana Eclipse comes with a standard rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery that's 840 mAh in capacity.

For Katana DLX users, the Katana Eclipse offers little reason to switch, unless the new look and the LED lights were just the things you've been waiting for. The Katana Eclipse's smaller screen and lower-end camera don't compete well with the RAZR VE20. But if you are looking to upgrade from an entry-level feature phone and like the LED lights (specially for young mobile phone users), the Katana Eclipse has all the bells and whistles a mid-tier feature phone should have.
