    I am planning to get a new phone with sprint, and
    pretty much narrowed it down to two phones. Bunch of questions:

    A680:
    *-For those of you who have the a680, does the phone have a reminder
    alert
    every ~5 minutes for missed voicemail? (My old samsung had that, and
    was
    wondering if samsung still kept it with the newer phones.)
    *-Can the external LED light blink different colors for incoming calls
    corresponding to a given group in the phonebook?
    *-Can downloaded images be used on the external LCD for caller ID?
    *-Can it have real sound ringtones, or only polyphonic?
    *-I also heard that the samsung is slow in web browsing. Is that true:
    better or worse than the 8200?
    -Do you feel the camera lens situated in a good position to take
    pictures when
    the flip is opened?
    -Durability?
    -Any comments in comparison with the newer A740?
    -Does it have enough internal memory? I heard it has 2MB available
    memory
    for downloads.

    8200:
    *-Does the phone have a reminder alert every ~5 minutes for missed
    voicemail?
    *-Does it have enough internal memory? I heard that it has 8MB RAM,
    but only
    1MB of downloads. Is the samsung better in the memory aspect?
    -I've heard stories about this phone's speaker breaking down after
    about 6
    months or so. Anyone confirm this?
    -Is the user interface not as easy as the samsung's?
    -Would you have preferred the samsung phone? I've seen that the
    samsung phone
    has been rated better by CNET & PCMagazine.

    Insurance:
    If you pay for sprint optional insurance ($5/month) and need to repair
    your
    phone later on, do they do it for free, or do they charge you a
    deductable?

    Thanks for your help!!!

    -A680 not sure about the voice mail.
    -not sure about the light.
    -the downloaded images can be on the external display and incoming calls.
    -not sure about the ring tones.
    -i'm not sure about the net, but i wouldn't complain its mostly what ur viewing if there is a pic or not.
    -i don't mind the lens there, the good part i like is that u can have it close and see the display on the external display.
    -well mine hasn't broke yet, but i havn't dropped it or anything like that.
    - 2MB is a lil low. but u can work around that by DL ur pics of the cam. i havn'tbeen successful in getting video's off.
    hopefully that answered ur questions some what.
