Iphone is a cool "storage phone". It is an isolated ipod mimicing features, it's also personal preference related. If you're a corporate user strictly then you'll hate the iphone, it cannot sync, exchange activesync so sending/receivng emails live as if you're at your computer is impossible. You also cannot use it as a "phone as a modem", why would you on the 2.5G or 3G web-speed? Equivalent to high-speed dial-up "netzero". The interfacing of he iphone is unbelievable technology, but they emphasized on looks too hard and not versatility. The voice/data are behind times, making the iphone completely ipod like, if you bought the phone strictly on looks, then you got a diamond, but business wise, its a loser.
Honestly, I am excited that Sprint will be coming out with a touch screen. I am a little disappointed that it won't have 5 megapixel like it's cousin the SGH-F490. But I will not lose heart. As for all the comments comparing this to the iPhone, I say this, I've seen the iPhone and I've played with it's features and it's nothing more than a glorified iPod. Don't get me wrong, I am a big fan of apple products. I wouldn't dare use a windows machine out of my own free will. But when it come to cellular technology Samsung has always been a great innovator. I love my MM-A940 which is equivalent to Nokia's N90. I am excited to see what Samsung has in store for when it's time to renew my contract in June.
I think the iphone has really good features and all but its still needs work i mean come on guys theres no replaceable battery, no microsd slot, and you would think that a phone that cost so much would a least come with some 3g. The best part about that phone is its web browser. So i dont see why people are going around dissing a phone that hasnt even come out yet, and besides that i just happy to see that Sprint is stepping there game and are actually starting to get decent phones in their inventory, cause other than the HTC Touch the rest of those phones are crap
The comment regarding not getting a CDMA phone and buying GSM is ignorant. CDMA technology is faster and better quality vioce than GSM, the advantages to GSM are international use and SIM card plus a system which many issues have been worked out over time. GSM will have a major issue in the future as data demand increases. Ask any one with a iphone about that....
I am looking forward to the release of this baby. Speaking of release, anyone heard anything about that yet? How did all these posts turn into discussions about the iphone? Who cares about the iphone. You wouldn't even be looking at this phone unless you were on the Sprint network. The iphone isn't even available on Sprint so get over the iphone and see what comes next. I think the Samsung is going to as good if not better.
