updated The FCC today approved the Samsung SCH-A990, a new flagship CDMA EVDO phone destined for Verizon Wireless. The A990 is based on the SGH-Z710, Samsung's current top-end 3G phone for Europe. Like the Z710, the A990 features a twisting display, 3.2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, microSD memory card slot, color external display, and an internal antenna. The Z710 also features an auto-focus lens and QVGA display; although the FCC documents made available today are light on details, it seems likely the A990 will inherit these features as well. Phone Scoop has confirmed that the A990 is intended for Verizon Wireless.

AWESOME!
This phone just feels good in your hand. It is a great fit around your face when talking on the handset. The speakerphone is super loud...enough volume to be able to hear someone while driving down a freeway.
And the camera...fantastic! Of course, my daughter just bought a compact Nikon 6.0 megapixel camera and it takes awesome shots...BUT...she doesn't have a phone on it!
The A990 camera is 3.2 mp, and is wonderful, PRINTABLE quality. It even has autofocus...which will take just a little getting used to, but worth it!
Yes, the A990 is a little pricey, but have you seen what just that quality camera sells for without a phone?
This phone...

They aren't listening. I mentioned this to a rep, and they just ignored me.
When they lose enough customers, they will realize what they are doing.

Some of these new phones are getting to look like the old Motorola BRICK phones!
Bigger with more CRAP isn't better!
The term "high end" in reference to phones has been really bastardized to mean packing more non phone stuff into one bulgi...

like the design
My experience has been the larger the phone, less it is accepted, no matter what features it has.
This is the non-smart phone market.
Samsung incorporated a lot of the same space-saving features they use on their RAZR clones, like an ultra-slim keypad. Of course that doesn't make it RAZR-size; it's simply a normal-size phone. It just has a lot of extra features wit...

i give it a 8 point out of 10
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
