The Samsung SCH-A970 supports a 3G EV-DO network,
Bluetooth, an MP3 player, a TransFlash slot, a speakerphone, and a
2-megapixel camera and camcorder with optical zoom. Verizon Wireless's latest 3G V Cast
phone, the Samsung SCH-A970 is a compelling package of multimedia and
communication tools. Along with support for Verizon's high-speed 3G
network, the handset offers a 2-megapixel camera/camcorder, an MP3
player with external playback controls, Bluetooth support, and a
TransFlash card slot for additional memory. The phone is bulky, however,
and its fancy features sometimes fall short, with spotty EV-DO coverage
and subpar photo quality. Still, the A970 will tempt those looking for a
phone that supports Verizon's high-speed data network. The Samsung
SCH-A970 is available for a pricey $349. Call the Samsung SCH-A970 the
anti-Motorola Razr V3.
At 3.7 by 1 by 1.84 inches and 5.07 ounces, this handset is hefty. And
while there's no protruding antenna, the A970 won't slip easily into
your pocket. But that's also the case with Verizon's other 3G phones
such as the LG VX9800,
so we didn't mind it too much. The all-silver case makes it appropriate
for business settings, and the exterior display (see below) becomes a
mirror when the backlighting is off.
