Qwest and Sanyo have announced a stylin' -- and more importantly, tasteful -- "Always Pink" rendition of Sanyo's SCP-3100 to raise money for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Qwest is committing up to $100,000 of phone sales to the foundation from now through October 31 in support of research and community outreach programs. For what it's worth, the low-end SCP-3100's specs mirror those of its, uh, less pink siblings: 160 x 128 color internal and 96 x 32 monochrome external display, VGA camera, speakerphone, and a promised talk time of up to 3.6 hours. Throwing your support behind breast cancer research and awareness will run you $50 with a 2-year contract; if the 3100 doesn't excite you, two additional as-yet-unannounced models (presumably clad in pink) are promised in the series later this summer. Or, you know, you could always choose more traditional (and direct) means of charitable donation.

Following up its pink variation on the Sanyo 3100 handset, Qwest is now also offering a slightly more subdued “Cherry Blossom Pink” version of Sanyo’s slim Katana handset, just in time for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. As with the 3100, 10% of the sales from the phone (up to $100,000) will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, which is focused on research and community outreach programs. The phone itself is otherwise the same old Katana handset, weighing a slight 3.4 ounces and packing a 2.2-inch QVGA display, VGA camera, and Bluetooth, but unfortunately lacking EV-DO support. Going pink will cost you the same as the Katana’s less colorful brethren, setting you back an even $100 (with a Qwest contract, of course).
