In the midst of all the
Cingular Music hoopla today the
SGH-A707 (also known as "Samsung's way of apologizing for the
ZX-20") got itself a quiet, dignified little launch, but not without getting slapped with a new name: "SYNC." As its name vaguely suggests, the SYNC is a heavily music-oriented device -- as many featurephones seem to be these days -- with a dedicated Cingular Music button chilling on the keypad. Features that make this Cingular's hottest 3G clamshell yet include touch-sensitive external music controls, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, and a 2-megapixel camera, not to mention microSD expansion and solid support for garden-variety multimedia. Look for the SYNC to make an appearance in stores and on Cingular's site... well,
real soon now at a $50 price point on contract with rebates.

With the Samsung cellular phones they typically come with a rebate. Also the displays are crisp and clear with intuitive menus. The weakest feature with some of the Samsung cellular phone is the speakerphone.
Vote for Samsung if it is your cellular phone of choice otherwise vote for one of the others:

Congrats, Blake (#1), that's the dumbest poll I've ever seen in my life.

every page i read about this phone says it has a flash, but all the picture seems like it doesn. is it hidden?

Does anyone know if there is a way to transfer mp3 from
Mac to the handset?
I love this phone except this problem.
Josh @ Dec 25th 2006 1:19AM
If you have bluetooth on your mac you can send the mp3 to the phone via the bluetooth connection.

I thought I read that it had a flash somewhere before I bought it, too.
It doesn't.
I like the phone, but it misses on a few points - once they get the "sync" part of the SYNC together (the software) it'll be a decent media option

It DOES have flash. above the silver button on the right there is a cover over where a SDmicro goes in.

Are you talking about a flash for the camera? The only thing I see is a place o put a memory card.
