I don't get the hype behing this phone. It's not very attractive, and the front lcd is monochromatic. All of its features are appearing in other phones. *shrug*

I just hope they keep it all black, I'm excited to see the new vibration technology called VibeTonz should be cool π
...
spumMar 14, 2006, 4:21 PM
Isn't VibeTonz where the vibration is in time with the music? That's already been released...
...
gunnyMar 14, 2006, 4:28 PM
My understanding is its brand new and the a930 will be the first for verizon
Coming to a mobile near you is VibeTonz, with the first VibeTonz-enabled phone from Samsung due to hit the market very soon. It could be be big - but what is it?
Well, VibeTonz is an embedded technology that enables a mobile handset to produce a huge range of 'vibro-tactile' sensations. Or in other words, you'll feel as well as hear. So, mobile gamers can experience the recoil of gunshots or the jolt of a punch, messaging could be personalised with vibration-based heartbeats and ringtones can give users the physical sensation of drum breaks and basslines.
I dont think verizon carriers this feature on any current phones,
...

One of my old Verizon reps demonstrated that on an n330...
...
spumMar 14, 2006, 4:45 PM
Nope, I misunderstood. The n330 just vibrates to the beat of the ringtone; it doesn't react to games or whatever.
...
gunnyMar 14, 2006, 4:47 PM
Should be pretty cool, different crazy vibs for different crazy peeps π
...
spumMar 14, 2006, 4:51 PM
I dunno. It's not as appealing to me as my e815. Or an 8100 for that matter. I must be in the minority.
...
e815 is a prety good looking phone, could be an argument...but the LG 8100? that phone is ridiculous, the blue face, the round curves, come on! just my two cents

π² the lg 8100 is amazing!
I own it! I love it.
Plus it's pretty! π
...
pretty? Exactly my point, its pretty...I am a man, I dont want a pretty phone or a cute phone.

nah, those are two good phones, each to his own no biggie. I think the v325 is the bomb π€£ whatever works
...
spumMar 14, 2006, 5:07 PM
325 IS the bomb. I actually would have gotten one of those, but the 815 was $30 cheaper. Go figure.
...
WOW. 30 bucks saved to not get the phone you want. That would be 6.7 cents per month over the 2 years to get the phone you want...
I always tell people, forget about the BOGO's or the "Big Promos". Get the phone that you really want. My addage is that if you are paying every month for something, you might as well get what makes you happy. If the phone you want is the biggest promo running at the time...good for you. If it's not...oh well, over a two year span how much is it really costing you?
...
the rokr had vibe sync first. it vibed to tones, songs, games and munes movements and whatever else.
...
I wanted it until I saw the Samsung SCH-a870 coming in Q2. I'm waiting for that one.
...
gunnyMar 14, 2006, 4:32 PM
What do you like better about the a870 Mary?
...
it has a 2 megapixel camera, and i believe a 65000 color outer display. those are the main differences on the inside. it does have a different shape, and personally I like the slim sleek look of the a930...sorry to but in gunny, but just thought I would share my thoughts
chris
...
gunnyMar 14, 2006, 5:02 PM
cool cool thats why we are here, thanks π
...
spumMar 14, 2006, 5:08 PM
I don't like the shape at all. The 2MP camera is cool, but it's a phone...not a camera. I can deal with a low resolution picture on my phone. The outer display only looks blue, small, and sidways in the pictures I've seen of it.
...
The looks, size, external screen and 2mp camera mostly.
...
How sweet would the 870 look if it had MP3 controls on the front...
...
That would make it about perfect!!!!!!!!!!
...
make it all black like the a930...then it would be pefect!
chris
...
I just like the size and look, plus internal antenna and it is black! I am also curious about that 2mp nokia slider coming out, that looks kinda of slick as well, i am up in the air on which one i will get, probably whatever comes out first π€£

it is black! :
all of it? π thanks

where are you finding pics of this phone???

gunnyMar 22, 2006, 12:12 PM
I still doubt it will be all black, I bet it will have some silver strips along the side or something stupid. I hope I'm wrong
...
the picture on VZN's website has it in all black...I think thats what it's gonna be released in...atleast I hope...
chris
...
gunnyMar 22, 2006, 3:51 PM
I'm sure you're right Chris I just always have to keep that shred of doubt so I'm not disappointed. π
...
lol...yeah i dont blame you, especially the way verizon plays around with phone colors.
...
that phone is pretty sweet...only major drawback i notice right off is that you wouldnt be able to take pics with the phone close nor would the pics pop up on outside when a person calls you...
...
Does anyone know the physical dimensions of this phone? I couldn't find them on-line. In the pics it looks much smaller than recent high end phone releases. I'd like to see a trend back toward compact phones.
...
gunnyMar 22, 2006, 4:51 PM
Dimensions: 3.7βΒ x 1.7βΒ x .88βΒ; 3.3 ounces
thats what google says I guess we'll see π

This phone will be nice and compact. Compare to current models:
SCH a950 - 3.60" x 1.90" x 0.95"
VX 8100 - 3.58" x 1.92" x 1.03
E815 - 3.71" x 1.95" x 1.01
RAZR - 3.90" x 2.10" x 0.60
Even the RAZR is pretty large except in one dimension. I wonder if the 930 will be plagued with the reception prblems of the 950?
...
gunnyMar 22, 2006, 10:27 PM
Yea really donβt put your finger here or youβll loose signal. Was it really like that? Hopefully they learned something/lol maybe I'm not sure that I will buy the a930 but I'm definitely curious to see the final product π
...
Looks like it's getting closer..
My friend at VZW is getting his demo in a few days..
I will check it out and take some pics
...
this phone is due in april
...
vzw_inside_man , Do you know what date?
Did you get your demo phone yet?
I am kind of surprised considering the stock of A950's in the stores.. MOst people would buy the A930 , would you say ?
...
the 950 looks ridiculous and it has reception issues...hopefully they fix the reception issues on the a930, cause we all know that it is much more appealing
...
dont have an exact date,
am in CS so dont get demo phone,
and the phone to kill the 950 is the SCH-870 with its 2 MP camera π
...
That's the one I want (SCH-a870)!!! Any info on that one?
