31. A900 Blade Opinion

17 Mar 2006 by M5

90%9out of 10

I have the SPH-A900 and have been putting it through it's paces. I've tried every feature, and option. This is one heck of a monster cool piece of hardware. Anyone who poo-poos this phone and says the MOT Razr is better is a Motorola saleman pretending to be an unhappy Samsung A900 customer. Who would not love this phone? It is increadible! I do not work for Sprint or Samsung, or any entity which sells these things. I'm just a tech savvy consumer / early adopter who knows a decent invention when he encounters one. The A900 is awesome. My only two wishes is that the A900 had a memory slot(it has only 47meg for my music files), and I wish it had a docking cradle....I like cradles on my desk. The battery life isn't bad considering all the things this phone can do and does well.

I linked this phone to my Dell Axim Pocket PC and transferred my contact information into it and it was easy as 1,2,3. I don't have a BlueTooth headset yet, but I'll get one in a day or two.

I thoroughly tested the speech recognition functionality of the A900 (without teaching it how I spoke) and it was very very impressive.

I've been playing Pink Floyd's 1973 Dark Side of The Moon endlessly on the A900. Impressive sound.

The color screens are excellent and very bright. I played around a bit with the 1.3 megapixel camera both in full motion video and still (point and shoot) and fooled with the zoom and swivel. I'm impressed.

Buy this phone even if you have no desire to get the EVDO plan(s). Sprint Vision, Sprint TV, Sprint Web are nice but I use my Pocket PC with WiFi in HotSpots for that stuff. The A900 is a great thing even without using the EVDO stuff.

the A900 is a keeper !

32. original fone rocked my world, replacment... a letdown

14 Mar 2006 by insurance srewed guy

86%8.6out of 10

So i got this fone Jan 5th of 06 and instantly fell in love with it. yes horrible battery life blah blah, but it has almost EVERYTHING on it. One beef i had was that the ringtones and the mass storage were diffent, forcing you to buy ringtones rather than transfer from computer. well with sprints power vision internet i found a way around paying for mi ringtones. well about a month ago it got dropped and broke the main screen. o well i got insurance right? okay so after procrastinating 2 weeks i call to find out i have to shell out 50 bucks deductable? well that sucks but hey better than 350 right? then i find out theres another activation fee. well thats unpleasent but i just want a new damn fone, i shouldnt have dropped the first one right. well 5 days l8er i get said "new" fone and take it out of the package. first words out of mouth: :what the f**k is this piece of s**t!?" the second i picked it up i knew it was crap. it has none of the heft mi original had, feels like cheap plastic, doesnt have the metallic luster the original had, and when i opened it and tested the keypad, even that felt cheap. what the hell went wrong here is this not the same model fone? well i go to stick the battery in right... what the F**K!! the battery is so warped/convexed out the cheap ass PLASTIC battery cover barley bent around it. and then with the slightest of taps comes popping off. well i gotta say that damn 6 dollars amonth for the last 4 years has been well spent right? not to mention the extra 50 dollars i gave them. wow i have so much more respect for sprint/samsung now that they went out of their way to provide such a great service to me as this insurance. o well ive been meaning to switch plans i guess switching carriers isnt any big deal. i mean that damn slvr is awesome isnt it?

33. Great Alternative to Monopolistic Motorola

2 Mar 2006 by Zefram Cochran

I bought this phone as a replacement to a Sanyo VI-2300. I bought that phone for the Ready-Link feature and never used it. Now that I have the MM-A900, I use every feature on it. When I first bought it, the battery life was crap. I had the GPS enabled and I was using Bluetooth to connect to my Pocket PC. I was going through the battery in one day. I have since settled my excitement and turned off the GPS and Bluetooth unless I need them. The battery now lasts much longer. I use it constantly, and the battery barely loses a third power. I do not mind paying the high price for the phone, I love it.
My phone history: Nokia 2100 series to Motorola StarTac to Nokia 5160 to Motorola Timeport P8167 to LG TP-3000 to Samsung A460 to Sanyo VI-2300 to Samsung MM-A900.
As you can see, I tried to stay current. I think this phone is big step forward for Samsung. I like the phone, I can't wait to see what is next.
BTW, I wrote Motorola an email in November 2000 suggesting the metal casing and they stole the idea! Hello Moto!

34. Dont Waste your Money

6 Feb 2006 by Dont Waste your Money

38%3.8out of 10

I have had this phone for about six weeks. It is awful. True, it does look great, but is worthless. You have to carry your charger with you everywhere you go, or you'll be S.O.L.! With Sprint, you only get 14 days to return your phone, so i am stuck. I will be going out this week to buy the Sanyo 4930; I have seen the reviews on this phone also, and have a few friends with the phone. It is also true that the phone constantly freezes up. Good luck; this phone is garbage, and can't compare to the Razor. I will admit, the sound quality is excellent, but that's it! Don't waste your money, in fact, don't even take it for free; you are guaranteed to not be happy.

35. Great Phone

I bought this phone because i need somrthing thin, not a big bulky phone. (aka Sayno crappy phones) I've had this phone for almost to months and havent been disapointed yet, but the thing that can be improved would be the battery life.

36. Excellent phone, but prep to extend battery life.

I have just received my new phone several days ago. I love the features, especially the included USB cable. It works great to connect the phone to my computer as an extra disk drive for transfering music to the phone. I have read many complaints about the short battery life. Be sure to turn off the GPS feature, which is enabled by default. My first use of the phone with a full battery charge was pretty short lived. Once I disabled the GPS feature, I made a call that lasted 1hr 10min, and used approximately a third of the battery. Talk time rating for the battery is supposed to be 3 hours. I love the phone, and would rate it a keeper.

37. SPH-A900

This phone is alright. I have had better luck with the sanyo. It is true the phone locks up and you have to reset it. I have had for two days and the battery has died on me every day. Do not be fooled it says 3 hour of talk time. NO WAY. My phone is my life line. I am trying to decide if it is worth it or not before I take it back. What else can you do.

I have owned this phone for about three weeks now, and it is awful. The look is great, but the quality is junk. The screen continuously freezes up when I am just trying to scroll to either set the alarm, listen to music, watch t.v., do anything. It is true that you have to continuously remove the battery for the phone to go back to working. Also, the talk time is horrific. I have to carry my charger everywhere I go. I am purchasing a new phone tomorrow. Guys, don't be fooled like I was. It definately looks sharp, beautiful screen, but watch out!

39. Not 2 happy 1

This phone is the most awesome looking phone I have ever had. I had the razor(Cingular) Pros: look, feel, design, can do almost anything with. Razor had better battery life. Cons: terrible battery life, something like 1.80, 2 hours. Static on the other end,the phone constantly freezes up when listening to music, have to constantly take battery out and put back in for phone to function. For price, I would say don't buy!

40. very slick phone

The one and ONLY downside to this phone is that there is no expandable memory. For most people though, this doesn't matter. I am very happy with this new phone. There are many, very easy to use functions and features. I am just coming off of a bulky Motorola MPx200 and the sleek form of this new phone is extremely refreshing. For the price this is a great buy.
