Get a closer look at Sprint's Sanyo Zio Android phone from the fall CTIA show in San Francisco.

Kent was a senior managing editor at CNET News. A veteran of CNET since 2003, he reviewed the first iPhone and worked in both the London and San Francisco offices. When not working, he's planning his next vacation, walking his dog or watching planes land at the airport (yes, really).
Minus the chrome edges, Sprint's Sanyo Zio looks the same as the Cricket Wireless version of the phone. Inside, however, it offers Android 2.1 (the other Zio had 1.6) and it has Sprint's new ID feature. Pictured here is the standard Sprint design for the home screen.
