1. great phone

this phone is a great phone with few setbacks, lets start with the bad. the battery life is pretty bad, and it has no external memory. the external memory has been the biggest problem for me, it really has no need to be a music phone seeing is how it will hold a maximum of 10 songs. but if you can get past that the rest is great. the swivel camera is very useful, and this alone has kept me from getting a new phone. the costomizing is great, this phone kills the RAZR2 in costomization you can almost littlerally change anything on your phone. all in all the phones worth the 115$ i payed a year and 1/2 ago

2. Compared to the RAZR2, this phone is now worth NOTHING!!

In reference to Lexi's comment:

I got the RAZR2 now. So that means that the A900 is abysmal compared to the RAZR2. Plenty of reasons to back me up on that.

RAZR2
1. Two very nice 2" inch screens.
2. SCRATCH-PROOF
3. Touch Screen
4. Key Pad is bigger.
5. 2 megapixel camera.
6. Expandable Memory
5. Better Bluetooth & more menu choices.

SAMSUNG A900
1. 1.3 Megpxl camera
2. No expandable memory
3. Small external screen
4. Scratch-prone
5. Cheep plastic feel.

TO SUM IT ALL UP, THE RAZR2 IS BETTER THAN THIS PHONE.

3. Good phone

I've got this phone a week after it came out. The commercials weren't even on yet. Its display never broke on me like I've heard happens to others. I cant even count how many times I've dropped it. I even lost it at the airport one night and drove back 15 mins later and it was still on the floor good thing its black no one could see in the dark pick up area. another reason no one took it was because when my uncle tried to call no one could hear the ringtone because the speakers aren't very loud which i didn't like too much, i rarely use the music player ive got an ipod for that. But all in all for my first phone it was pretty good and like I said I've had it for 2 years and nothing ever broke on me, but its all scratched up from the 100 times ive dropped it. My 2 yr contract is just ending and I'm looking for a new phone hopefully its tough like this one.

4. An Excellent Phone, BUT the external display will break on you eventually!

Everything about this phone is excellent, except for the fact that the external display will break because its so fragile. the first time i got this phone the external display broke a month later. The second time i got it it broke 4 months later.
Now I have a razr because I could get a replacement for the a900. I miss it though.

Other than that this phone is excellent. But just be prepared for a broken screen eventually.

Over all I think the phones great. Everyone I know with a Razor gets off their soap box when they realize how much better it is than theirs. Its very functional if you can figure out a few tricks. Like the volume button flipping the picture view upside down. It DOES freeze up on me sometimes, just pop the battery out and in and thats fixed.....
Things I wish it had.....

- Memory card slot ( A few techno songs and 47mb is GONE )
- Longer Battery (they have a bigger one you can buy)
- The ability to lock the phone without having to go into menu/security
- Flashlight (Some phones you hold the external key down and the camera flash comes on and stays on.... great in a need to see situation)
- A bluetooth kit that is LESS than 80.00
- The ability to store CID assigned pics to another place so if you delete your pics they dont get deleted as well..... thats a very annoying thing. and so is having to scroll through all the pics to NOT delete the ones you need.
- Voice memo to ring tone..... Had a Sanyo that you could set a recorded voice memo as a ringtone.... you would be surprised how handy and fun that can be......

6. Samsung A900

Well I don't like that phone for some reasons. Battery life doesn't last long. If I receive 8 calls a day my battery is dead after that when it's on vibrate mode. I have this problem, when people are calling me, it rings 6 to 7 times for them and me only rings once. When I answer the phone, the person hang up and the person tells me that they reach my vocemail after 7 rings. I went to get it fix at the bell store telling me they ship it to Samsung and they can't fix my problems after 3 times. Samsung will never see my face again. It's my fourth samsung cell phone and A680 and A900 are not good at all. No more Samsung for me, ever.

7. I HATE this phone!!!!

This was the worst decision I could have made!

The buttons are not easy to use. You will more times than not, always press the wrong button. I believe the "back" button will be the first to wear out.

The camera....argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I do not know how, but the image is ALWAYS upside down. The manual..no help. I took it to Sprint, where I purchased the phone...no one knew how to fix it.

I am so very disappointed, to the point I will never purchase a Samsung phone again...ever...I won't even take one for free.

8. Great Phone

This phone is sleek and versatile. The guy at Sprint tried to get me to buy a RAZR... I got The Blade. The A900 is easy to use and has so many uses. The camera does get flipped upside down sometimes, to remedy this there is no need for shutting down the phone, the volume buttons on the side also flip the camera. The media player is good and easy to use - drag and drop from your pc using the cable - it would be nice to have expandable memory. It is also good to be able to answer calls while listening to music, it simlpy beeps at you to let you know you have a call. Customizable launch pads are always good, plus having a list of personalized favorites. The phone is very durable, I let my kids play with it, and it hasn't broke yet. The options for the two screens are nice too, since you can use personal pictures, or the ones provided in the phone. The choice of clock displays is nice too.
