This is a really sexy looking handset. Would look good with my black iPod.

I agree, this phone is HOT!

I just got this phone. just as sexy as it looks. Great feature for well...free. and i'll have to see about the battery time when i finish my recharge cycles. getting a case for it soon from ebay, this thing needs a case or those sexy good looks are gunna go bey bey very fast. Also just a word of warning this baby smuges verrrrry easily, another good reason for a case. the camera, although not 1.3 mp is better then almost every single vga cameraphone i've seen. good work Samsung!!

just ordered this phone hope it works good i got a kyocera slider remix so i all ready know how easy a glossy phone smuges just need to find a kick ass dragon case i guess

I got this phone 2 days ago. It's very VERY nice. The only down side is the waiting to get ringtones for it. But overall its a great phone. One thing I don't like is when you call someone you can't turn Speakerphone off or on during the conversation. It's either on the whole convo or off the whole convo.
Oh well.
Its a great phone otherwise.

Grinsell-

I just bought this phone, and i love it. Regarding your complaint about the speakerphone- during the conversation, hold down the speakerphone button on the side of the phone for 1 or two seconds. It will say "speakerphone on" on the display. Repeat to turn SP off.

I just got the phone for work and I love it. Battery life seems good and it looks awesome. Does anybody know of any good accessories for it?

I've had this phone for 2 days now, so far I like it. It seems to have a good battery life. On the down side, it doesn't have a silent mode short cut that I can find, it has a cover to the charger slot which makes it hard to plug in while talking (personal pet peeve), the side buttons get in the way when holding it, and the keypad gets pretty warm pretty fast.

Can't you just hold down the # key for silent shortcut? I really like a quick shortcut for silent...just ordered 2 of these for my wife and I...Tmobile sucks in Tampa Bay :0(

I have the phone every since july 7 and it works perfect and on the note of the silent all u gotta do is hold the down button on the side of the phone and my ringtones down load really fast so yea over all it is a great phone.

About the silent mode
No you can't just hold down #, and for the down volume button, you have to scroll through the 12 different volume settings and stop on the desired one (such as vibrate all) which takes longer and more effort than holding the # sign like my last phone.

Has anyone tried to use the Bluetooth accessory? Is it the Bluetooth Motorola 700?

Ringtones? I don't know about most of you, but there are a lot of places to get free ringtones, The A640, which I got 2 weeks ago, is making it difficult to download those free ringtones. Any ideas on how to make it work? What am I missing?

im getting this phone tommarrow, and i was wondering if the pictures are very clear.?

I just bought this phone this past friday i just could'nt resist of not buying it. This is one of the best phones that sprint ever made. the pics are clear the bluetooth works great with it. i love this pohne better then my i560 nextel. the ringone are not that hard to download plus this phone has call tones too.

Nice phone,clear sound,clear pics,easy operation,good battery life. Smudges easily,difficult to hold and talk with buttons on side,almost too slim for a person with large hands. Tons of ringtones and wallpapers at Sprint website.

Has anyone else had problems with the keypad getting too hot? I plan to use this phone as a home phone, and for those long chats, I don't want to be holding a hot potatoe by my ear.

this phone spits style! Tru playa's roll with the a640! This phone is the night rider of cell phones! However, the camera is just ok.

purchased the phone today found great bluetooth made by samsung about the size of a quarter same shine as the phone but unfortunately had to bring the phone back isn't compatible with the 2006 Acura hands free link, so that kinda defeated the purpose of purchasing the phone.

Well, I guess if you can use Bluetooth at home, then heat is not an issue.

$$$$$$$$$$ I want to get this but idk how it is when u flip the phone does it make that click/snap noise when open it up or not..... and do they have Face plates for this phone??? PPPLLLZZZ RESPOND $$$$$$$$$$

I really love this phone, it's sleek and easy to use. I picked up an extended battery that gives you twice the talk time, I clocked it at 6 hrs of talk.

Is it me or do the music ringtones sound like crap on this phone? I downloaded two different ones, thinking it was the song. Very muffled and hard to hear. My wife has a Sanyo that sounds very good, it has a large speaker on the front though, that may be why.

No Sound is made when you open it and it does not support faceplates.

I have both this phone and a little pink Sanyo 3100 and am trying to decide which to keep. The pics are better on the Samsung, but yes I've noticed the getting hot factor and yes the songs sound muffled. I really like the speaker on the Sanyo. It's kind of awkward on the Samsung and not that great. To me the biggest drawback is the front display which is impressive indoors but hard to see in the light of day. Samsung seems to get better signal.

I think when it comes to a cell phone, you have to think what you will use it for most. I feel a signal is most important if you ask me, and the hot factor is with any cell phone. I have used MANY phones, and all colour display phones heat up like crazy. Like any electronic device, when you drain the battery, it creates heat. i.e. digicams

pam let me know which one you decide to keep, i have the sanyo 3100 now and today just ordered the samsung phone

anyways i don't know which one i will like either, however i do know with the 3100 phone i have a hard time hearing out of it and the display quality seems a bit poor to me

this phone really good, camera needs a zoom though

the camera can zoom if u use the right arrow button. it only zooms in times 10. it is a great little phone, my only problem is the ringtones are weak and i can't seem to find a place to download some decent ones. can anyone help???

It does smudge very easily. It's a little hard to hold and I have small hands. Mmmmmmm I just don't know?????

i am gettin the a640 pohone for my b-day do u think it is the right phone?and does everything becides the ring tone work?

I Love This Phone 4 Ringtones Try Threegforfree Anyone Know What Type Of Case And Bluetooth Is Best

yea .. i already kno tht one but does anybody kno any others?

is the A640 international compatible

will i be able to use it in France and Italy.

What's the deal with the smudging?? I'm thinking I want this phone but I dont get what smudges easily??? ANYONE?

Hey Marianne. Yeah the phone is tri-band and should work in most european countries.

To everyone else. I'm not sure if we're talking about the same phone here. What I have is a little black hollow shell. The funktions are so limited I can't belive they were charging money for this thing. The bluetooth is extremely out of date. I used to have a sony phone that I got free two years ago. It supported mp3 format, I could take videos, use it as a remote control for my laptop, the display was bigger and brighter... the list goes on.

All I can say is that for a 2006 phone this liitle pos is hoplessly outdated.
Maybe I'm missing somthing here, but is there a way of sending images via bluetooth?

john- what do you mean the bluetooth is out of date? It is the standard bluetooth you find on all of the phones.

As for video etc- have you noticed how think the phones have become? Take like the Katana for example. They can't put much in the phone due to the stupid design. Then you have the A900 (blade) that does tons of stuff, but has Terrible battery life due to the stupid "trendy" design. You KNow they could put all of that in a phone, but they trade "trendy" for function. Like the a920 (about to be phased out)- it is thicker- and not "trendy" but does all the mp3s etc, and has great battery life.

The a640 is a compromise. It is slightly longer than my samsung vm-a680 (which I still love), but it's battery etc are a lot smaller.(also internal antenna) The screen is larger than most low-mid range phones, and it is the First low end with Bluetooth for sprint.

I am probably getting this as soon as we get them in stock again.

FYI- there are other mid-rande bluetooth phones coming out in the next couple months, but this one seems to be the most practical style and have the best features.

And no, you can't do the images bluetooth- that's how sprint makes their money :-P ~Vision~ (until someone comes up with a product/hardware to do it :-P)

Thanks Nicole. I've calmed down now. I just didn't expect to get less functions for more money on a new phone. It is sleak and very light. The coverage problems I'm still having are more due to sprint than the a640. For most people this phone is just right and has everything you need. It's just not for me and I'm doing everything I can to get out of this plan and into a new one with a more advanced phone.

No Problem :-)
I just picked mine up a few hours ago.

I know what you mean...it is very stripped down, but I juist bought myself a PPC (ipaq) so I don't need much in my phone~

It works well with my H700 bluetooth headset too~

I have had this phone for about 2 months and I highly recommend it!!!! It is soooo sexy and I fell in love with it the minute I saw it!

Does anyone know how to make the phone continuously alert you when you've got a vmail or text message waiting? There is an option to alert you every two minutes and I had set it this way. When I receieve a vmail or text, I get the initial ring tone at the desired volume, but every two minutes after that, it beeps very, very, faintly, you have to almost put your ear to it to hear it. Just wondering if my phone is defective. Can anyone get there phone to alert them continuously until the message is picked up?? Thanks

i love this phone i just got this

nice phone

The best way to do your data workis with BitPim. You can make your own ringtones on your computer, or download them, and add them using bit pim. BitPim is free online, as it is a developers program, and open source:) You can upload and download all your photographs, calender, phone book, messages, wallpapers, call history, everything. Data cales are wonderful things:)

All you will need is to get the CQX.sys file to create the Samsung USB Serial Virtual port. I know Infinite Wireless has the data cable and the driver software online. They charged me i think 10.00. I got mine on ebay.

Have fun. Once you have a data cable, you will never turn back, never:)

I just got the A640.. Its the best phone ever! I absolutly love it. All the features are amazing and the look it just as good if not better. Get one for sure.

just got this phone i really like it but I need to get a case quick because I already scratched it on the back. Does anyone know where I can buy a cool looking case. all the ones i've seen are ugly.
thanks
