Samsung SYNC SGH-A707
A707 vs. Nokia 6131/6133
I currently have an A707 and am wondering how these compare with the following:
1)Loudspeaker volume. A707 seems really low compared with Nokias I've used before. Is the Nokia better?
2)External display. A707 dims after "x" seconds. Does the Nokia stay lit all the time?
3)Music player. A707 can play songs and you can't do anything else. Nokia as well?
4)Buttons. I'm fine with the A707 buttons but find it somewhat hard to use with one hand because it's so wide. I heard that the Nokia tends to have flimsy buttons. Also heard that the power and camera buttons are in an awkward spot. Are these big issues people have been having with the Nokia?
5)Speakerphone. A707 only works when the phone is open; close it and the call ends. Can ...

I have a Nokia 6131, and while there are things I like about it, I'm thinking of switching to the A707 myself. One reason I want to switch is that while the screen is lovely, the camera totally sucks in this phone, and that's an important feature to me. I'd love to see some example A707 photos to compare.
To answer your questions:
1) I don't use loudspeaker, so I don't know.
2) The Nokia external display dims after a few seconds, brightens again about a minute later to tell you the keypad has locked, then dims again a few seconds after that. Then shortly after that, it shows you an analog clock (I believe that's the screensaver) and ultimately the screen goes out and just shows you the time in digital format.

Thanks for answering my questions. On to yours:
1) Camera. Unfortunately I don't have a USB cable or Bluetooth/USB module (yet) so I can't upload test photos to show you. There's got to be a review of this phone somewhere online with test photos.
2) Battery life. I do a full charge maybe twice a week. Then again I don't sit on the phone a whole lot and rarely use Media Net.
I'm not looking to replace mine...I can live with the faults. I was just curious about the Nokia since I had seriously considered buying that before the A707 came out.
