Samsung SCH-A670

complaints...hmmm...SAME complaints i have about EVERY phone...eventually it starts squeaking when you open the phone...like the hinge of the phone u know...where the screen adn the body meets...that starts becoming now as smooth as before...other than that...the phone is great id say...i hate american phones..i dont know why this country is so late on phones...my family in korea..oh man..you should see their phones...alll around 3 megapixels...you can watch tv on some phones...its great

i wanna go 2 korea... 😁 . anyway, is it easy 2 open w/ just one hand? i often have something in one hand and am trying 2 make a call w/ the other...but some phone's tops are too heavy 2 open single-handedly...

wait do you have the phone yet?or are you trying to gather info about the phone before you get it?and how old are u?are u a guy?
and yes its very easy to open it with 1 hand...and overall this phoen is VERY durable..and a good phone...but the phone gets very hot after talking on it for over 10 minutes about..and i usually talk long with my girlfriend so it gets on my nerves so i end up using a headset. and camera quality is alright as well. best on the market id say

i dont have the phone, but am thinking of getting it soon. dont feel like answering the rest of the questions. my current 4400 gets rly hot after talking on it for like 5 minutes, so hot that tis hard to touch, so im used 2 it.

oh yea...my dad has the 4400B...well you should definetly either get the LGVX7000 or the SCH-A670...samsung....they are the two best verizon phones out right now...but DONT get the MOTOROLAV710...its a new concept..the whole 1.3mp and mp3 player so its not perfected yet....adn take my advice and get either that LG7000 or MY phone...because in the last 2 years alone...i started out with the
nokia 3390
motorola v60
motorola t720
lg vx6000
samsung a530
samsung a670

ok. im deciding between the a670 and the audiovox cdm-9900. the 9900 is supposed to be out w/in 2-3 weeks...the only reasons id get the 9900 are:
1) bigger, higher resolution screen
2) flashlight
3) speakerphone

hmm...thats true but the samsung has a flash too but i dont know how good it is compared to the audiovox...and its not a guarantee that it will come out anytime soon...and plus...from my experience..MOST if not all...audiovox phones are low quality made...with the same cheap plastic as the vx6000...and durability is horrible...id say samsung phones are the best made...but if i were u...just wait untill the audiovox comes out and go to the verizon store and compare the two

okay. thanks. also, is there a way to take a picture w/ the phone closed?

yupp...you hold down the camera button while the phone is closed...and about 3 seconds later...the outside screen turns into the camera mode...and you can see you self...u can either leave the image the way it is..or flip it upside down...or mirror it...and still take pictures with the fun frames...camera phones are quite useful...i have about 120 pictures on my phone so far

today i went 2 a verizon store, and got 2 play w/ this phone 4 like an hour. it seemed rly good but i have some questions:

1) how do you do fun frames w/ the phone closed?
2) is there a way to exit "camera mode" when the phone is closed?
3) is there any way to have the external lcd screen be dfft than their 3 choices?
4) is there a way to turn on vibrate when the phone is closed?

1.you just set the fun frame with the phone opened...and then once your done setting it...you close it and it works
2.no there isnt a way to exit camera mode when the phone is closed..once u start the camera mode..no turning back..lol...unless you open and press the END button and close the phone
3.no there is NO POSSIBLE way to change the external lcd screen other than the preset 3
4.no there isnt a way to turn on vibrate when the phone is closed. just open and press teh pound button and it will go to silen mode(manner mode in this case, vibrate)

ok, and does picture id work well?

Yeah it does...just remember, like landline caller ID, it takes up to 2 rings for the phone to locate the caller, so it'll take a couple of secs on the a670 to locate the picture...but it does work!

ehhh...its alrighttt...it works but it wont be as clear as your internal screen...

Hey Shinbalman,

Since you have had the A530 and the A670. How do you think they compare. I almost switched since I think the ringers are louder on the A530.

for either phone...as long as you download from XRINGER..theyre all loud...and both the 670 and 530 are 16 chord sounds...so ringtone quality is the same..but XRINGER is the loudest...i wasted about 100 dollars trynna find ringtones but xringer seems to be the best

and phonewise....i had the 530S..which is the new silver edition...but i dont know if u can find those anymore...but if u can then its a GREEAT PHONE

the phone gets REALLY hot compared to the 670 but other than that its the BEST phone i ever had...the only reason i switched is because i was greedy for the camera on my phone...but even its not that useful even though i have 100 pictures...because i cant really do anything with these pictures...id rather carry a digital camera...

JKmagic22,

I would definately recommend the A670 to anyone. It is an all-around great phone with very few flaws. I have had many phones and I would rate this phone the second best I have ever had. A few of the ones I have had are...

Nokia 3390
Nokia 8290
Nokia 6610
Nokia 3660
SonyE T28w
Moto V70
Moto T720
Moto T722i
Samsung e715
Moto V300-(only one I put above A670)

also, without opening the phone, is there a way to turn on the vibrate mode?
