Cellphones Review: Samsung SPH-A940 Cellphones

Cellphones Review - Home >> Samsung

?A great heaping layer cake of features, Sprint?s Power Vision MM-A940/SCH-A940 does everything we thought a phone should do, and then some. Although it has a few flaws, its sheer ambition and ability to surpass our expectations make it our Editors? Choice for a high-end Sprint phone.

The MM-A940/SCH-A940 is a big (3.7 by 1.8 by 1.0 inches), heavy (4.9 ounces) phone, but you get a lot here: A 2-megapixel camera with optical zoom, full-motion streaming TV, satellite radio, over-the-air music downloads, excellent voice command, speech-to-text dictation, great game performance, Bluetooth, a business-card scanner, and a shake sensor. (Never heard of a shake sensor before? Read on.) This thing has more bells and whistles than our features chart has check boxes.?
