[exces6]

Looks cool.

I take it the screen turns?

[Merlyn_3D]

Any word on whether this is gonna have T9 or ezicrap?

[FloorMatt]

That UI almost looks verizonish. Any word on whether this is gonna have T9 or ezicrap?

:eyebrow: That's because it IS for Verizon.......it's the A940's brother from another mother.....err...carrier.

[fonefreak]

not bad...

[Revolutionary]

Excuse me while I wipe the drool off my chin.

[upp3r 3ch3lon]

Excuse me while I wipe the drool off my chin.

i'd let you use my handkerchief but its pretty soaked...

[G-Unit_4900]

dayum homie use the samsumg fcc hackin skills 2 find sum 9000/40 pix

[cryogenic]

I want it... though for Sprint. hopefully they won't cripple the bluetooth functionality.

[New91]

Which they would have made the internal screen bigger, on the 940 and the 970. :indiff:

[jschu22]

It looks like the outside lcd is slightly mirrored. If it is thats.... awesome.

[Mierop20]

dayum homie use the samsumg fcc hackin skills 2 find sum 9000/40 pix
Its not Hacking everybody can access them...... gulfross

[ssaifull]

dayum homie use the samsumg fcc hackin skills 2 find sum 9000/40 pix

using the probable FCC ID of the Sanyo 9000, AEZSCP-90H, turns up nothing (yet) on the EAS generic search on the FCC website.

but to stay on topic, I don't like how Verizon is getting this phone first, but let's take a look at the positives:

1. We can all run to Verizon store and play with it the first day it comes out. We won't have to suffer through Sprint's possible delayed release. Granted the UI will be completely different, we can still get a feel for it and test out the camera, stereo speakers and such.

2. The more time they take with it, the less buggier it will be. We'll get a cleaner version than Verizon.

3. That's all i got

:)

[MRTRIPOD]

better have a LOUD speakerphone

[RyanM]

*whimper*

I'm ready to hand over my a800 for this bad boy. Unfortunately VZW is going to have it months before us....and no I don't think that's a good thing for us or Sprint.

[tuolumne]

Both the A970 and A940 are scheduled out in late Q3. Where are you all getting this late "months" idea?

[Krayzie Joe]

Verizon version looks so much better on the outside

[derango1]

Hey all, been a lurker on this site for some time, and I can't wait for the A940 since I'm still using my VGA1000 (damn the short mail!) I do have one question. Does anyone know if the outter screen is still going to be an OLED? I know for the 970 it isn't and it seems the Verizon people seem to think the 940 will have OLED. OLED makes me drool. :) Come to think of it, this phone in general makes me drool lol.

[RyanM]

Both the A970 and A940 are scheduled out in late Q3. Where are you all getting this late "months" idea?

Oh I thought I read somewhere that the a970 was coming out within the next month...maybe they will come out around the same time. The people around here that know sure aren't saying much ;). Anyway I'm hoping for OLED on the a940 because it's just so cool looking!

[derango1]

Thats what I'm saying. OLED would be great when combined with the External controls for the MP3 player. Would be so easy to see.

[PSkinny121]

2. The more time they take with it, the less buggier it will be. We'll get a cleaner version than Verizon.

There's a wishful thinking statement if I have ever seen one!

[tuolumne]

No OLED on either version.

[derango1]

No OLED on either version.
Bah. Well, no phone is perfect I guess. :( Maybe it was the Korean version that had one because I swear I saw a pic somewhere. Thanks.

[tuolumne]

Yes. The SPH-S200 and SCH-V5100 have OLEDs...

[Invader J]

...

[Invader J]

heeehehehee.

[powder]

LMAO!! Me no likes....

[Invader J]

I mean, 1.9" LCD? Who was smoking crack at Samsung? =P

[simpsonsadict]

Wirelessly posted (samsung a680: Samsung-SPHA800 AU-MIC-A800/2.0 MMP/2.0 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 Samsung-SPHA800 AU-MIC-A800/2.0 MMP/2.0 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1)

yeah can u imagine how absolutely perfect this phone would b with a 2.3 in screen or bigger? an oled ext. would make it even better but with both of those what else could anyone actually want in this phone

[CoreyTheGent]

From this view, it seems that screen size was sacrificed for the placement of those stereo speakers, which is where all the filler or "head" as J. put it comes from:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y229/tuolumne03/a970intenalfcc.jpg

[New91]

How come two simple phones, the X497 and X495 have OLED`s but for the 940 and 970 we could not get them? Does that seem crazy or what?

[RattDawg]

...
:lol: Now thats innovation! Id guess a new use for "cool to touch alloys".

I take it the screen wont be qvga. Im wondering why not in a phone that is meant to be used like a camcorder. That is one thing I like about the 800 with the slider closed and the nice @ss display you actually feel like you are using a digital camara.

[tuolumne]

How come two simple phones, the X497 and X495 have OLED`s but for the 940 and 970 we could not get them? Does that seem crazy or what?

Those two GSM Samsungs only have 4-color OLEDs. High-end Multi-Media handsets like this need 65K color displays, and Sprint/Verizon weren't willing to pay the price for OLED technology...

[tuolumne]

As Corey mentioned, the stereo speakers occupy the space above the display:

Oh so those phones outer LCD will still not look all that hot. :headbang2 BTW, how expensive is the OLED technology?

[CoreyTheGent]

Oh I thought I read somewhere that the a970 was coming out within the next month...Not next month...

http://tinypic.com/9sdmch.jpg

Verizon is looking to release the a970 in August. MUHAHAHAHAHA!!

[FloorMatt]

Ohh, let us see...

Bluetooth Profiles Supported:

Headset
Handsfree

Small print: Phone does not support Bluetooth OBEX Profile.

That's VZW for ya :td:

Other than that......Sprint! Wake up! :irked:

[CoreyTheGent]

As a Moderator and professional, you should do better at containing your jealousy, Matt.

[FloorMatt]

As a Moderator and professional, you should do better at containing your jealousy, Matt.

I am jealous of the phone itself, coming to VZW before Sprint's A940. However, I'm not jealous of crippled Bluetooth. ;) (It appears to be even more crippled than my PM-325)

Still, I can't show my face in Circuit City.......until the A940 comes out. (The Verizon rep)

I'll have to wear my SprintUsers shirt.....just for that trip. :)

[RyanM]

I'm afraid the a940 will be old news by the time it comes out on sprint. :indiff:

[derango1]

I'm afraid the a940 will be old news by the time it comes out on sprint. :indiff:

In the mean time I may have to try out Verizon's service. :cool:

[upp3r 3ch3lon]

Not next month...

Verizon is looking to release the a970 in August. MUHAHAHAHAHA!!



Damn! that hurts. talk about gettin owned. this makes me not want the a940 anymore. oh well, whats next?

[CoreyTheGent]

You guys are crazy. Verizon seems to be beating Sprint to the punch, but at least the a940 will have the nice (albeit childish) Samsung UI as opposed to that stupid red and white Verizonized interface the a970 will possess. Now Motorola is going to start using it, and I'll once again be shopping for a carrier if the Razr has it. Thank goodness I remained out of contract.

[FloorMatt]

Now, what about the beat box "feature"? Isn't it in the A970 as well as the A940?

I don't see it on the info card, up there.........maybe the card is for important features only? ;)

[CoreyTheGent]

LMAO, Verizon's not going to advertise that crap. Neither is Sprint.

[anthony@ddn]

that would make the most sense to me matt. with that feature ppl will think you're just either really honked off at the person on the other end, or you mistook your phone for the ketchup bottle at a restaurant, and you're tryin to shake the first bit of heinz out. just let a child get a hold of it. you think it makes cool noises now, wait till ya hear the lack of noise it'll make after your 3 year old tosses it down the steps tryin to make a "fresh beat."

[CoreyTheGent]

Yeah, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the Verizon version has it gutted out. I haven't heard any insiders discussing it. Either that or it's a pretty irrelevant feature which virtually no-one cares about.

[tuolumne]

It is not present in the SCH-A970. I know that.

[CoreyTheGent]

Well, that's a plus for the a970. Any word on the a940 having it?

[tuolumne]

Yes.

[FloorMatt]

If the A940 has that beatbox feature, but the same crippled level of Bluetooth the A970 has.......I will personally shake the Sprint Store A940 demo phone until it either dials 911, or spells out "Samsung USA, help me!" in an SMS message AND sends it.

[jschu22]

This surprises me, since with many other comparable handsets (Treos for example) Verizon couldnt beat Stevie Wonder to the punch.

Id like to be around to see this :wavey:

[CoreyTheGent]

This surprises me, since with many other comparable handsets (Treos for example) Verizon couldnt beat Stevie Wonder to the punch.Lol, exactly. They're really shaping up, but like always (at least when it comes to me), something must occur in which they take 2 steps backward for every step forward. In this case it's the across-the-board implementation of that POS UI. Verizon wants to strip away as much of a phone's individual identity as they can get away with.

As for BT, Matt, tuolumne says the a940 will have full Bluetooth.

[RyanM]

Well let's just hope that we don't have to wait 3+ months to get it after Verizon. I don't care if it has a better menu or whatever it still sucks to see it around for months without being able to get one. Also, how many phones have been released by BOTH verizon and sprint? Very few which is quite unsettling... :scare:

I just have a bad feeling sprint might pass on this one. :irked:

[ssaifull]

Also, how many phones have been released by BOTH verizon and sprint? Very few which is quite unsettling... :scare:

I just have a bad feeling sprint might pass on this one. :irked:

don't worry there are actually many (Sprint/Verizon):

Toshia VM4050/Audiovox 9900
Samsung i600/same
Samsung A700/Samsung A890
Treo 650/same
PPC 6600/Audiovox VX6600
Audiovox 8912/Audiovox 8910
Blackberry 7250/same
Blackberry 7750/same

this list isn't exhaustive. if you go years and years back in time, there were also the motorola timeport and startac, v60, and kyocera pda phone.

bottom line: don't lose HOPE!

EDIT: I just saw that toots beat me to listing all the samsung phones.

[FloorMatt]

I can't believe everyone forgot A790 for Sprint and VZW! :eek:

I would love to go up to the Circuit City VZW rep, after the A970 comes out, and be able to say......."HAHA, Sprint is getting the A940......and a 5MP phone camera"......with confidence.

[Granduter]

you guys are all listing the double releases, but what was the time delay. I know on teh treo 650 sprint beat everyone to the punch by a little bit :clap:

[tuolumne]

Except for the last two sets, those weren't planned, double releases. That was Samsung's lazy act of recycling.

Lazy? More like making a business decision.

Both Verizon and Sprint have their share of unique Samsungs...

Sprint:

8500
A500
N400
A620
A760
A800
A840
i500
i300/330

Verizon:

A bunch of old bar Samsungs I don't remember
N330
i700
i730
A570

[ssaifull]

you guys are all listing the double releases, but what was the time delay. I know on teh treo 650 sprint beat everyone to the punch by a little bit :clap:

now that is asking for some research... but here are some educated estimates:

Toshia VM4050/Audiovox 9900 - Sprint by > 3 months
Samsung i600/same - Verizon by nearly a year
Samsung A700/Samsung A890 - Sprint by several months (excusable since VZWs version has EV-DO)
Treo 650/same - Sprint by > 6 months
PPC 6600/Audiovox VX6600 - Sprint by 2-3 months
Audiovox 8912/Audiovox 8910 - ?
Blackberry 7250/same - Verizon by 3-4 months
Blackberry 7750/same - ?
Samsung A600/Samsung A610 - Sprint by several months
Samsung A790/Same - Verizon by 1-2 months

[Granduter]

and now the 970/940 to VZW by X months.
The 920 had best come to sprint first!

[tuolumne]

Verizon should have it soon:D



The Samsung A970 is now in Infomanager with a launch date of September 2nd. I really have high hopes for this phone. You can also change the red bars to blue in the menu system.

Here is the info off of phonescoop.com about the a970.

This flagship CDMA phone features the country's first 2 mega-pixel camera with an optical zoom. Other key features include EV-DO high-speed data, Blue-tooth, a micro-SD memory card slot, streaming video playback, and speakerphone. The clam-shell body sports a twisting display for camcorder mode, an external display, and an internal antenna.

This is what VZW says about the phone in Infomanager. Notice they list an mp3 player.
Fun, Function and Features! The Samsung SCH-A970 gives a new twist to how you communicate with its 2.0 megapixel camera and camcorder with unique twist design, MP3 player that plays from a TransFlash memory card, stereo speakerphone and advanced speech recognition. The A970 is also Bluetooth®-enabled for supporting headsets and handsfree kits. This is the phone for anyone who loves technology, but doesn't want that technology to weigh them down! The A970 offers it all, plus Verizon Wireless Get It Now® network services that entice users with applications, such as games, ring tones and wallpaper.

The phone is only slightly larger than the E815 and doesn't feel big or bulky at all in my hand.

It appears the a970 will use transflash (aka micro SD) rather than miniSD but don't worry FAUguy, we don't stand to lose anything with this memory format.

Still no info beyond what I have read here regarding the launch date. I believe it won't be released until we sell through the remaining a890's, which should be relatively soon.

[tuolumne]

User accounts:

I just played with a 970 again today and I must say that it seems to be a hell of a phone. I think it feels pretty solid and did feel a bit heavier than the 8000. the swivel is no where near as lousy as the 610 for all those wondering....as that was one of my main worries. The production model of this phone is pretty sweet.

I'm talking about the real phones, not the mock ups.

The sammy is definitely smaller and slimmer than the 8000. The 970 dummy phone did feel heavier as compared to my 8000. I really liked the feel of the sammy in my limited time holding it and using the swivel.

[Revolutionary]

yeah can u imagine how absolutely perfect this phone would b with a 2.3 in screen or bigger? an oled ext. would make it even better but with both of those what else could anyone actually want in this phone
Thank God I'm finally reading some posts about display size, I thought I was the only one who cared about that, if this phone had a screen size like the Tosh 4050, or even close to it, my eternal search for the perfect phone just may be over for a long time, assuming this phone does all it says it does well. But NO! With all the greatness this phone seems to spew, they give us a non QGVA screen that's SMALLER than my 7400.... Jeeeeeezzzzz.........it's always somethin'

V745 has a 2.2" QVGA:cool:
