Being this a Verizon handset, there is no OBEX or DUN profile for the Bluetooth.

Tuolumne, dude, seriously, you should get a job as PR for Samsung. Probably pays real good and you could use your posts as a portfolio to show them that you are qualified. I'm not gonna run out and buy a Samsung, but you sure do bring all the Samsung info to the table. I wish we had a Sanyo person who brought all that same kind of info to the table too. Any volunteers?

:good: There is a lot of undiscovered talent out there.

[sneak]

I really don't .. care .. about .. nevermind. Good info.

[upp3r 3ch3lon]

once again samsung misses me with that keypad. and the front of the phone is horrendous. but other than that it looks (feature wise) to be a potential winner.

[flipn0tic]

Why is this even posted here if it's not going to Sprint? Take this stuff to hofo.

Oh wait... :hee:

[tuolumne]

a880a940 (at hofo), as rumored about a Samsung music phone for Sprint. This could very well be it.

a880a940 (at hofo), as rumored about a Samsung music phone for Sprint. This could very well be it.That rumor concerned a slider based off the a800's design, even you stated that. Nice try, though.

Aside from that, this looks much better than the LG VX-8100, particularly the opened view. Samsung seems to be the only manufacturer that's making moves which I'd be emulating had I been in charge of a company's mobile division. It's as if Samsung is the only mobile manufacturer actually headed by techies and not suits with techie advisors. I'm slightly impressed.

Also strange that for once they're giving more attention to US CDMA carriers as opposed to GSM.

[suneeboyboy]

Nice phone. I'm still waiting on the A940 Though. Just wish it had PTT and QVGA. Sanyo, what are you waiting for!?

[CoreyTheGent]

Nice phone. I wish they would hurry and make a phone with all the features of the 5600, w/bluetooth, and a better camera. Sanyo should make a 5650 with those features. Did I just troll? Sorry, I still want to get it out....Tu does it, why can't I :)I agree, with all of it. :clap: Even if you did edit like a straight punk.

[suneeboyboy]

:lol: You crazy, I'm a gangsta! :bang:

[FairlightRacing]

Before everyone comments on how ugly the finish is (its horrible) remember this was a pre-production model sent to the FCC for approval. They want the internals approved. The shell is just a quick mock-up of what the final form will be. It is not finished and will be extensively refined before (if ever) released.

[joshua_g_perez]

Wow, me personally I think that phone is hot. I know samsung doesnt follow the traditional number ordering so is this phone supposed to be better then the A880, or closer to the A940?

It's a good year for them, last year they were lagging. Sanyo was all over them, so was Motorola.

[Deval]

thats all verizon

[Invader J]

BOOOO TINY SCREEN!

That is all.

[wordpowa]

it has bluetooth? sprint won't be getting it.

[flipn0tic]

thank you for quoting that.

[PoisonEye]

If Sprint offered a phone with this feature set, I'd but it even without a discount. I have had an LG for about 7 months, and I'll never be unfaithful to Samsung again. This phone I have SUCKS!!!

we all know damn well sprint isn't the carrier you want to choose if you want phones with feature sets like that.

TuTu, stop teasing us! i mean it :)

[mrvid]

Wow how exciting a new silver flip from samsung. And it looks like tutu step on this one also. :)

[wl_lifestyle]

heh, as always, Obex wasn't enabled. So another broken bluetooth. :cool:


I'm sure that Sprint would offer a version of this if they could show enough interest in it. But without OBEX the bluetooth is still halfway useless to me.

From VZWemployee on HoFo.

[TruBloodTransAm]

so since this is the SCH-A950 and the verizon version of the MM-A940 is the SCH-A970...if this phone ever came to sprint it would be inbetween the A940 and the A920 theoretically right?

so maybe the MM-A930? haha

I think you're confused :confused:

A920 for Sprint.......A950 for VZW.

A940 for Sprint.......A970 for VZW.

:wavey:

[tuolumne]

A840 for Sprint, A850 for Verizon
A560 for Sprint, A630 for Verizon

lol that's what I said :)

[FloorMatt]

You were saying that if THIS phone (A950) were to come to Sprint......it would be inbetween the A920 and A940. But.....the A920 is the Sprint equivalent of VZW's A950. :)

[Revolutionary]

Eh, I'd take the A920 over this one.

Not too found of the way this one looks.

I'm with ya; I like the A920's Black smoothness......and MP3 Controls.

[Moogle]

Well... Maybe this is going to look up for the A920/A940 ... If its already coming out on Verizon that is -- I think we're waiting on the EV-DO network launch on Sprint.

On a side note... The SCH-A950 internal photos were released on 5/23/05 ... SPH-A920 released on 8/15...

Now... There isn't a correlation with the date of release of the photos and the actual release date of the phone, is there?

On a side note, the SPH-A840's photos were released 6/30 ... and the phone was released when? ~8/30? Two months?

Any thoughts?

[tuolumne]

November for A920/940. Verizon looks to be in October.

Torture! Torture I tell you!

This is turning from an end-of-summer gift-for-myself excuse to a halloween gift excuse... to a thanksgiving gift excuse...

Soon I'll just have to make it an Early Christmas Present!!! :hee:


Maybe, if Sprint is quick enough, it'll be a new-year present - ;)

C'mon A920.....come out......be Black, and have that stylish MP3 control on the front.

A950 doesn't look SO bad...

[tuolumne]

No...the red is actually very nice looking:tu:

[FloorMatt]

No...the red is actually very nice looking:tu:

Yeah, I'm glad they added color.......cuz it looked Blah in the FCC pics.

I'm just hoping the A920 stays black......that's Samsung Hotness, I'll admit.

[Ovaltine224]

damn. verizons getting some nice phones

[FloorMatt]

Sprint's getting the nicer looking version of this phone. :)

And, I would assume that the Bluetooth will be full-featured on the Sprint one :clap:

[Matt]

After closer inspection, the red is hot!

[The SPCS Guy]

:-)Yeah the phone is sweet and hot. When will Sprint introduce one of these bad boyz, though? The anticipation is building up and I can't wait.

A920.......I'm waiting for it. I'm hoping that it's SOMETIME this fall........hopefully earlier, instead of later.

[danny.boi]

The a950 is set to launch with VZW on Oct. 11th pending no further hang ups.
