Samsung SCH-A950
Customization Options
OK, just went by the local store and picked up two A950’s for my wife and myself. Looks to have the new firmware on it (v. a950.yk24) so I’m interested in my options.

I know people on here have been successful using Bitpim, but since it doesn't support the 950 yet, they go through the filesystem, which I'm afraid to mess with. In the meantime, you can send MP3's to your phone by e-mailing them as an attachment to: your10digitcellnumber@vzwpix.com.
