samsung a-790 address book problem

When in the address book mode, you CANNOT access the 2nd or 3rd or 4th letter in the book most of the time. After 5 phones, Samsung has duplicated the problem, with NO fix. They say it is a software problem, and the solution is when you want a number, just scroll through the entire book till the name comes up, or type in the letters of the person's name. Any ideas?

Can it be unlocked?

Can the gsm side of the phone be unlocked? Seems like a good idea, if you can unlock the thing.

Sprint

Any news on the upcoming Sprint version of this phone? It looks a lot like the canceled i550. Will it be a Smart phone, Palm OS, etc?

Data Cable ???

What is the model number of a data cable & software that I can use to set-up the phonelist and/or provide laptop connectivity? I can't find it on web, and Verizon is no help.

For Sale

Am relocating out of the US and am thinking of selling this phone since there is no need for CDMA where I am moving.

Any buyers? The phone is virtually new and only a month old...It will come with a SIM card that I have already purchased from VZ and all the accessories including a car charger.

Considering its rarity Im tempted to take it to ebay but wanted to see a responce here first in people who really want the phone.

GSM Mode Not Functioning

I'm and administrator with a large O&G exploration company, and we recently bought several of these phone for our int'l travelers. Some seem to work just fine overseas, while others disconnect from the GSM service after the number being called is "sent." Anyone have a clue as to what's going on? Two of my guys have had this problem in Indonesia, as well as Spain.

A790 owners: need confirmation--no speakerphone, correct?

I am about to purchase this phone for no other reason than I think it's cool. I just wanted to confirm that there is NO speakerphone.

What kind of an oversight was that? Especially if they intended it for the business market? Oh well, still like the phone.

Thanks guys.

SCH-790 - blah blah blah - NEXT!

Its a multi-frequency phone. It is not the best thing since sliced bread! There are phones like that out there and Verizon just plain isn't carrying them. I'm almost so desperate for new technology that I'm considering a switch to AT&T! ..

Seriously. What is keeping Verizon from introducing full featured mobile phones - speakerphone, bluetooth, vga, etc., etc. There are plenty out there. They certainly are big enough to have Motorola and others produce phones for their networks with these features and more!

So forget the SCH unless you travel globally and have a need for the multiple bands.
