Samsung SCH-A610

I called my local Verizon store (Reston,VA) and they do have the SCH-A610 in stores to see but not buy yet (you can order one).

But now I'm stuck on holding out for the Motorola V810. The Motorola looks to have some really nice advatages, support for analog, picture id, 640x480 resolution, MMS, lighter, etc...

Does anyone know if the Samsung can take 640x480 pictures (probably the lowest resolution worth printing)?

What are people's feelings about these two phones? The FCC approval for the Motorola is very recent, but it seems like the buzz is that it will come out very soon.

Thanks

The sprint version of this phone stinks...my cousin has it, exactlly the same.

I'm new to this forum but does anyone really know when the phone will come out?

When will the phone be released??? Or any camera phone with a flash??? I hear that a few stores have the dummy phone, but when will they release the real phone!!

Does this phone really have Screen Caller ID on outside??????? I ready someone said they saw it and it does.

Sprint has had this phone for over a year now!!! My cousin has it i held it, i flipped the screen..etc........The Audiovox 8900 is so much better!!!! Minus the flash!!!

ON NOVEMBER 6YH, A REP FROM VZW SALES POSTED A MESSAGE THAT STATED THIS PHONE SHOULD BE OUT BY THE END OF NOVEMBER. IF ANYONE KNOWS ANY FURTHER PLEASE POST, I'M DYING TO GET THIS PHONE. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH NOT MANY PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN THIS PHONE AS THEY WERE WITH THE I600, THERE WERE MANY MESSAGES POSTED IN THAT SECTION.....THX

click on if highlighted or copy and paste the above link to your browser, there is some intersting info you will like to see...p.s the a610 coming out for verizon has a nice silver outside color on the outer flip(there is a pic) not the ugly blue that is on phonescoop page picture..

Seems like a nice phone.
But since it was approved Jan 16,would'nt
this be the oldest phone out now? Well
approved not out.Must have a lot of problems?
Display 128*160
# Of colors? Maybe 65,000?
No analog
Camera resolution ?
No outside display. ya ya it can be flipped
Pros- Has 3 games-
Most likely only phone with flash for a
couple of months.
Most likely the next likely phones with flash
will be in order
audiovox 9900-(If no software problems)

I CALLED THE RESTON VIRGINIA STORE, PH#(703)437-2600, ZIP CODE 20190 AND SPOKE WITH THE INVENTORY REP...HE SAID NOT ONLY DOES HE HAVE THE DUMMY PHONE, HE HAS ALL OF THE ACCESORIES FOR THE A610,THEY CAME IN HIS LAST SHIPMENT....THIS LOOKS GOOD FOR US....HOPEFULLY SOON

I was looking at Verizon's FAQ about the AOL instant messenger feature currently only available on the LG6000. It seems there is an application to download to use IM. Does this mean that a phone such as the Samsung SCH-610 will not be able to get the software since it is not BREW enabled? I guess they could release it with it installed, but I'm wondering if the the lack of BREW on this phone could be a serious flaw. It does say 2 way text messaging, but that seems less than ideal if you can't use it like AOL IM.

Verizon has received the dummy phones today that they show to customers on the showroom floor!! This means they receive the real phones a week later and put them out days after that--i talked to a inventory manager and was told they would be out by jan 19th at the latest!!!

Does anyone know if this phone will have speaker phone? Id rather have a speakerphone than a camera that stinks.

i'm new to the site and i was wondering if any of ya'll know when this phone might come out? thanks

I WAS HOPING THE DUMMY PHONE WAS SEEN IN A STORE....

When is this phone or the A620 phone coming out for verizon???

I saw the dummy phone which says verizon on it already..

Can anyone suggest why I should wait for the Samsung 610 when the LG 6000 is readily available now thru Verizon. What are the advantages / improvements ?

Met the man who made and launched the LGVX6000 who gave me info he could get fired for. This will make up for my drunken message. The Samsung SCH-A610 will be out the first week of February. The CDM 8900 had problems with people porting their numbers in so their fixing it. The guy said he would be by again for another update. This is accurate inside information I swear.

It doesnt say anything about custom graphics and ring tones.

Does that mean this phone with not feature get it now?

sorry i was drunk
