    It's a great phone for it's size. My only complaint is no memory card expansion slot but it's give and take with a phone of this thickness.

    I bought one for my wife at $350.

    Are you having any Bluetooth problems? What about the battery life?

    I'm looking to sign on for another 2 years with a new family plan. I'm favoring the Samsung A920, but looking at the A900 also.

    Battery life isn't the greatest if you use all the features, so carrying the charger or another battery would be a good idea if you use stuff like Satellite Radio and whatnot

    Well there's an extended battery out for it now. Some say it defeats the purpose of a slim phone but to others it's not that bad especially if you are a power user. Bluetooth works and I've used two headsets with minimal static.

    The battery really super sucked when I first got the phone but got waaaaayyyyy better after about two weeks. Go figure? The phone is awesome and even though it doesn't have an expansion slot it still hold squite alot of stuff. I would recommend the phone totally. The only thing that sucks, is it is with sprint.

    50 MB of internal memory is a lot compared to most phones. If you're looking to store Mp3's then you should get large memory card.

    I think a920 is a much better choice. I am a sprint dealer and I have more satisfied customers for A920 then for A900.

    memory card? this phone doesnt have capabilty for a memory card, and if its an MP3 player phone theres no reason why it shouldnt have had a bigger memory or even a SD slot.

    Jess said nothing about using the phone primarily as an mp3 player. If that were the case, the A920 would be a superior choice with its expansion slot and cabability to hold tons of songs. The A900, I think is a better phone otherwise. It holds enough songs (15 on my phone) for say travelling to work which is what i use the mp3 player for. To each his own. And correctly stated above, the A900 has no expansion slot as of yet.
