The Samsung MM-A900 has an attractive design and
offers a powerhouse of features, including support for Sprint's 3G EV-DO
network, a 1.3-megapixel camera, an MP3 player, Bluetooth, and a
speakerphone. Though the Samsung MM-A900
is unlikely to win over the most hard-core Razr fans, it's still a
compelling and promising alternative to the popular Motorola phone. They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. And in the
tech world, imitation occurs frequently. Take, for instance, the Motorola Razr V3--a.k.a.
the cell phone that swept the mobile world this year. It's a no-brainer
that other manufacturers would scramble to mimic the popular slim
design, and as expected, Samsung is the first to offer a Razr
reproduction, with its MM-A900. Offered only by Sprint, the Samsung
MM-A900 equals the Razr's thin profile but raises the bar with a couple
of refinements and some extra features not found on the Motorola
handset, including a 1.3-megapixel camera with a swiveling lens and a
flash, an MP3 player, and support for Sprint's new 3G network. Of course, Motorola is close on Samsung's heels with new models such as the Razr V3c
for Verizon, but the MM-A900 is a strong effort nonetheless. It also
has another thing in common with the Razr: the Samsung MM-A900 is pricey
at $349, or $199 with a two-year contract. Like the trendsetting Motorola Razr V3,
the Samsung MM-A900 is all about a slim, sexy design. Fashioned in
black, the MM-A900 is marginally bigger than the Motorola phone at 3.9
by 2.0 by 0.6 inches, and it weighs a bit more at 3.9 ounces, giving it a
slightly more solid feel. Despite the added girth, however, the MM-A900
is still an incredibly thin phone that can slip into almost any pocket.
Be aware, however, that like the Razr, it can be difficult to feel the
phone's vibrate mode in your pocket.
