    haha i know it. i don't know how that thing ever got shipped when it runs so slow. i don't know how anyone puts up with one of them either... if i had one i would have busted it on the pavement after a few days out of frustration.

    Yeah. Nobody believes me when I say it develops delay problems.

    Today I was with some friends waiting for a table at Applebees and a family with a 2 teenagers saw me [reading a text message] on my phone as well as a buddy of mine who had his razr out, and they started asking why I bought my phone instead of the razr, and the two kids were all sure about how "awesome" the razr was... well he both let them check out our phones and needless to say it took about 3 minutes for them to be completely sold on the a930 and convinced against ever buying a razr - simply because it goes SOOOOOOOOO slow! Just food for thought.

    There, see? SEE???



    feindawg - Verizon locks out the transfer capabilities of the bluetooth technology. There's no way to transfer any sort of file, be it mp3, wma or whatever, to the phone using bluetooth.

    I've had the a930 for a few weeks now and it's absolutely awesome. Originally I had planned to go back and upgrade to the a990, but now there's just no reason to. I love everything about this phone, the clean and sleek setup, the blazing fast UI (if you've used a RAZR you know how bad it can be), the conservative outer screen which is extremely slick and unique as well as the bright and vibrant main screen. Texting, sending and receiving pix, flix, games, sounds, etc. is all done with extreme ease and very quickly. I got a 1GB SanDisk MicroSD card for it so that i can store some music but mostly all the caller ID pictures that i've taken with the great 1.3MP camera as well as a ton of custom mp3 ringtones that i made with a ringtone program and transfered to the flash card and use for free (as opposed to being crazy and downloading/paying for them). I really can't think of a single thing that I don't love about this phone, it's just awesome. Normal sound quality as well as speakerphone mode are both nice and crisp, and mp3 ringtones sound great on the speaker. The internal mp3 player also does its job, though that's what I have a laptop and ipod for. I would recommend this piece of work to every single person out there. Extremely satisfied.

    Hey, I have the Samsung a930 from verizon and i got it a couple days ago. I have been trying to use bluetooth to put music on my phone. It wasnt working transfering. I read somewhere that the file needs to be a wma and not mp3. Then i downloaded a converter and tried to transfer a wma song. It still wont transfer. Is it even possible to add songs to the phone using bluetooth? If so, how do i do it? thankyou

    Before this, I was using a Kyocera slider... bleh... I was with cricket. I love the keys, but the ui is same gay old verizon. very simplistic, but handy when youre in a hurry. the shortcut key is great, and its somewhat intuitive for most people. My 2 most used functions are messages and contacts, which are both soft-keyed. The keys are fairly well placed. I only find myself messing up keystrokes every once in a while, and i have rather large hands.

    I hated the slider, but it was one of the cheapest phones offered at the time. I do very much love the a930.

    the single solitary problem i have with my a930 is that my girlfriend ALWAYS hits the speakerphone key when she uses it. I never hit it, but she never misses it. I guess it just took some training of the thumbs.

The camera is almost better than my standalone camera. the music quality is great, and the memory is decent, and it also supports a 1 gig micro sd card. I love it, and I would reccomend it to anyone.
    What phone were you using before this? What do you think of the UI and layout of the keys?

    I just returned a 930, primarily because it's all digital and I'm in a rural area where a tri-mode performs best. My experience was brief, less than a day and a half. My initial impressions, though. Was surprised and disappointed by battery life. The thing is a true brick -- looks much better than it feels. I found it hard to tell which side was up, frequently opening it upside down. It has a hard-to-describe awkward feel. The 1.3 MP camera is quite good, much better than I'd have predicted. Has a very strong speaker phone and a well-placed control for it (the 870 which I replaced it with has a poor speaker by comparison and a poorly placed and heard to use control button). Oddly, reception was horrid the first day and improved dramtically the second in same areas. Still, while it has good features, it's a brick and all-digital in an area that demands tri-mode. Hope this helps.

    Yeah, unfortunately there are no GSM carriers that work in my area. Otherwise, I'd be all over that.

    Yeah. I think alot of times with that, people don't know that you're supposed to hold the phone a certain way to not interfere with the internal one.

    I just scored a V65p on eBay this morning, hopefully I'll have it next week so I can start playing around with it. That's why I like SIM cards, you don't have to waste time with that whole ESN thing...

    Yeah, I wouldn't use the music player part of it either. I have a 30 gig iPod for that. I just like the phone.
