Samsung A800 ships on Sprint PCS

May 12 2005 - 12:12 PM ET | Sprint Nextel

Sprint PCS today launched the Samsung A800. Late last month Wired magazine leaked details of this phone, including the fact that it was to be carried by Sprint. Features of the Samsung A800 include:

• 2 megapixel camera with autofocus and VGA resolution video capture.
• VoiceMode speech-to-text dictation
• TransFlash card slot (32MB card included)
• QVGA 240 x 320 pixel 262K color screen

The Samsung A800 is the first 2 megapixel camera phone in the US. The high-end features of the A800 make sure it sells for a high-end price: $349.99 with contract after rebate. A web special price brings that down to $319.99. BestBuy has a month long exclusive on brick and mortar sales of the Samsung A800.
