Any pro and cons feedback would be appreciated. Considering getting this phone.

• Clear sound quality.
• VZ Navigator is a nice application you can download to the phone.
• Easily as reliable as all the other Samsungs that I've had.
• Easy to port over my phone book and custom ringtones using Bitpim.

Some people have complained that it doesn't play MP3's but instead plays .wma files. I haven't had any real issue with that. Once it's on your phone, who cares what format it's in?

All of the above plus:

- HFL works great in my Acura.
- Very clean looking, uncluttered appearance. No antenna stub!

Cons:

- Typical Verizon crippling. Some of this can be easily overcome with BitPim.
- Phone has to be open to use camera/camcorder.
- Speakerphone button is in a weird location and it takes some practice to avoid pushing it all the time (at least for my fat fingers).
- Some have complained of short battery life...I think it's fine.

Overall, for my purposes a very nice phone.

I use this phone as a phone... and it does that quite well (although it likes to hold on to an Alltel signal at times). The sound quality is good (VZW/Alltel built out my area decently). I dont care for the speakerphone, though (I dont really know how to use it and I find myself shouting when I use it). Calls can be answered/ended via the speakerphone. The phone's volume is great (ringing and in-call)... at times so I have to turn it down (a pro in my eyes)-- no more shouting or missed calls for me I played with the camera and the pictures are sharp. I initially had an issue with the battery being too short, but a few charges and discharges took care of that (I usually get between 3 and 3.5 hours talk on it now vs. 1-2 before). My other peeve is the bluetooth but I suspect that it's the cheap bluetooth I got; I love the OLED display but it's hard to see directly in sunlight. I cant comment on the music player (I have no MP3/WMA nor do I own a computer). The VoiceSignal is hit or miss IMHO

I have had my fingers slip and hit the adjacent keys too... I just slow down when dialing

Best Quality ever so far!
I had Motorola, Audiovox , LG... but Samsung A 930 has best Audio Quality.
Sound for music is O.k.
It Sync's in with Bitpim perfectly, must get yourself Micro SD card
for pictures, Video and Music so you can record Some Video than
convert and play on PC!
