Samsung SYNC SGH-A707

Is there any consensus in this forum on Samsung reliability and call quality?

I have only owned SE and NOKIA but after handling the SYNC in a Cingular store I am initially impressed. The large screen, UI and of course 3G speed are nice, however I did not make a test call.

Personally I think I would enjoy a Samsung slider with HSDPA (my form factor preference). Wait and see.

which one is worth buying out of the two? I love both of them and i`m so confused on which one to get.

I lost my cu500 so I just ordered this phone. What color do the keys light up?

I'm curious to hear anyone's opinion who has owned or played with both. I lost my cu500 and just ordered the a707, not sure what differences to expect.
Thanks!!

Well, I worked my way through the owners manual, and I still need a few questions answered. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

1) How do I populate the phone with my contact list from Outlook?

2) Can I make one of my MP3 songs be my ringtone? It keeps telling me the files are too big.

3) Can I have the music player just play the songs on my memory card randomly?

4) I have read about people using XM Mobile on this phone to listen to XM. Is there something I can do to get my Sirius on this phone?

I love it other than that. Hopefully I can get these four items to work.

Thanks all.

I just got this phone. It is big compared to the Motorola V557, which I had previously, but flatter and liter. I like the large buttons, large display, and bright display. The phone has a good feel. However, I cannot figure out how to use the camera or speakerphone by trial and error navaigating around the menu selections. I have not tried to look in the manual yet. Does anyone know how to use the camera or speakerphone? Also, it does not come with a USB cable. Do I need to buy a special one or will any old USB cable I have hanging around the house do? Thanks for helping.

Is it me or is this a pretty big phone?? I know it's really slim but it seems to be very wide. I love the feature set and price, but the size may keep me from buying this one. Anyone else think this.

I am looking for a headset to listen to my music files on. Unfortunately, all I can find is hands-free ear buds. I presume that these are primarily for voice, and would not give the same quality sound.
Any words of wisdom, or a place to buy a good headset?

I know it's apples and oranges, but the reason I ask is I love the way the smartphones seamlessly sync with Outlook. With a smartphone, the phone 'knows' when I'm in a meeting and automatically switches to silent mode until the meeting is over. Great!

But I don't use a lot of the other features a smartphone offers and this phone looks great too! So I'm wondering how well the SYNC syncs?

can this phone record and playback video encoded in mp4 format?

can you use speakerphone on this phone, while the phone is closed?

while using the music player can i do something else? i.e. browse the web or send a txt.

i dont have the phone yet, but i plan on getting it, and i was wondering where the flash is located

It has already been released by Cingular. It was a stealth release. People have been giving it great feedback on Howardforums.com.
