Introduction

As if merging a camera into a cell phone wasn't challenging enough for industrial designers, now they have to supplement this device with an MP3 player as well! Instead of playing with new form factors and radical designs, Samsung has simply adjusted the tried-and-true clamshell form factor to incorporate a 1.3 megapixel camera and an MP3 player into its MM-A920, available for Sprint's PowerVision EV-DO network. The A920 could have benefited from more variation in theme and it seems like a slightly less-endowed rip-off of the LG-VX8100 for Verizon (which is undergoing a redesign as the VX8300 that is due to be available this summer). However, each of these phones operate on different networks so by default and regardless of its imitation of Verizon's model, the A920 is the best music phone available for Sprint. Then again, if you plan on watching a lot of Sprint PowerVision TV, we'd choose a different Samsung.
