Samsung SGH-A706 User Reviews

I just got this phone last week for my birthday, and this service actually just available in my city since Oct 1st. I don't know if I am the first one in my city to have this amazing phone, but right now I cannot find anyone else. The Internet Data speed is so fast, I connected to my computer as a ""Modem" through bluetooth connection, and the speed reached 400kps. when using USB cable, it reached up to 1Mbit/s once. I haven't tried the Video calling yet, since I don't know any one else hold this "Vision" as well. But just the Video on Demond is cool enough for me.

I just got this phone today and all I can do is drool as I toy around with it. First off, the cameras are wonderful (the one that faces you when you open the phone is a one mega-pixel). Video recording is not choppy and pictures are taken surprisingly quick. Reception is perfect, not to mention the phone can be used as a modem for computers (I tried downloading a large file and it ran at 300kb/s). Not alot of on board memory (about 58 Megs) but a 1 GB Micro SD card can be found at Tiger Direct for about 30$. What I love most about the phone which I wasn't able to do on my LG 8100 is load up any song in a flash since the phone accepts virtually any file type with no hassel. It comes with a USB cord and software that'll make your day. I could even sync my outlook express scheduel with that of the phones! The touch sensative MP3 controls on the front are great for showing off and are just so amusing to "press". In a final face, the phone is very thin and tends to heat up, also, the screen is a thin TFT so getting a holder is a must (well for me anyways ^_^) The phone is very light, fun to flip open, and is extremly stylish with not to much stuff on the front. I also enjoy the professional looking cloick on the front. At 100$ for a 3 year contract with rogers, I also got 3 years free video calling and 3 months free trial of Rogers Vision, which is okay but don't get your hopes up. It costs 30$ a month flat rate for the vision and video calling features which are integrateditn the phone, so be prepared for a bit of a crispy bill. I give the phone 8 out of 10 :)
