Samsung MM-a900 June 14th, 2006 | by Stewart Wolpin

Conclusion

While the A900 may seem to be excellent in almost every respect, the lack of expandable memory severely cripples this phone's capabilities. Perhaps future versions will include a memory slot behind the battery, similar to what Motorola will include in its next generation RAZR due later this spring. But if you're a Sprint customer and plan on using your phone as a music player, we'd recommend the more pedantic but superior Samsung MM-A920, a more traditional clamshell with external music controls and, most importantly, a TransFlash (microSD) card slot.

Pros:

• Razor-thin
• EV-DO network capable
• Sprint PowerVision compatible
• External music transport controls
• Rotating camera lens

Cons:

• No external memory card slot
• Poor keypad backlighting
• Short battery life
