It's babysteps, Mark. This is one of the first U.S. phones that does not have Samsung's proprietary adapter for headphones. Rather this has the mini-jack which is at least a little more standard. A lot of the European phones use the standard 3.5mm jacks, so it is only time before the conversion happens over here.

Looks good, if a little fat.
The only thing I would have changed, aside from the stupid interface, is the headphone jack. Why oh why couldn't they do a standard 3.5mm jack?

That's mostly true... the individual companies do make the phones, but VZW tells them what to make... ie. the Voyager!

thudson, the A900/A900m had a 2.5mm jack.
