Samsung A920 Review : Crazy Sandeep of Mobilewhack.com, Takes A Closer.

Samsung's MM-A920 cell phone recently debuted with Sprint, and comes with a decent amount of features. The great thing is the support for Transflash memory cards, but its support is limited to 512MB - possibly to limit the number of songs you can carry on the phone.

The camera is also decent, and comes with a self-timer and brightness adjustment. The Pictbridge interface works almost flawlessly, so Samsung has done a good job in that department. The external display is dubious, but the internal one is crisp. Several useful Bluetooth profiles are supported as well.

Pros: Transflash support, Pictbridge, Bluetooth, Phone can be used as a modem
Cons: Limited 512MB card support

Features include:
Customizable favorites menu, ring tones and alerts, Customizable caller ID from personal photos, Customizable screensavers from personal videos, Personal organizer including scheduler and task list, Built-in speakerphone with dual stereo speakers, Bluetooth wireless technology: headset, hands-free car kit, file transfer, basic printing, Built-in 1.3 megapixel rotating camera and camcorder with digital zoom, self-timer, movie light and brightness adjustment.
