Review By Mobiledia Just in time for holiday music lovers, the Samsung MM-A920 embeds an MP3 player with external music navigation controls to offer access to hundreds of songs stored on TransFlash memory cards up to 512 MB in size. Compatible with Sprint’s new online Music Store, the A920 is a new type of music phone, combining wireless communications with music and high-speed internet capabilities. Offering customers access to an online music catalogue, consumers can browse, download, play, and manage high-quality digital music directly from the A920.

Review By Mobiletechnews The camera and video options are simple and quick to use and send and transfer both pics and video clips in surprisingly good resolution for viewing on a PC or notebook. The 1.3 mega pixel camera offers a flash, self-timer, fun frames, color tones, brightness and white balance controls. You can select resolution, quality, shutter sound, or view mode. The camcorder records 30 seconds of video. Pics and video can be saved in the phone or on the memory card. Resolution settings include 1280×960, 800×600, 640×480 or 320×240. Zoom is not available when the resolution is set to 1280×960. Otherwise you can zoom up to five levels. Since this phone operates in EV-DO, I find I only use the high res setting since both pics and video transfer quickly and are more fun to look at on my PC. I was particularly surprised at how well a video recorded and transferred via email to my notebook of an evening swim video I took of my grandson. The sound picked up well and was very enjoyable and a pleasant surprise considering the size of the speakers. Read More! |
