I decided to replace my Chocolate phone and wanted to find one that was dependable, preferably a flip-phone so I wouldn't keep pushing buttons accidentally while talking like I did with my Chocolate, and looked at several different models. The Samsung SCH-A950 has a lot of the same features as the Chocolate (plays MP3s, uses micro-disk, connects to PC via USB cable, etc) and seemed to be the best option. It has a better battery life than the Chocolate, holds a ton of music and lets me customize ringtones. It takes good photos, pretty good videos, texts easily and is very dependable. The only thing I really don't like is that I transferred all my photos from my Chocolate and I cannot use some of them as pic ids because they are too big. Altogether, I would rate this phone very highly. A good, dependable, and still cool-looking phone that should be good for me for a very long time.Read full review
I recently upgraded my phone to a different one, but I wanted to write a bit about this phone since I enjoyed it so much. The Good: Really great battery life -- I hardly ever had to charge it! The pictures it took were very good quality, as were the videos. It had a lot of storage space -- at one point I had over a hundred pictures and about ten videos on it. I always got reception with this phone, except when I was underground on the subway (which is completely expected). It has a cute look to it.. I liked red at the time of purchase. Basically it's a good everyday phone with bluetooth capability, VCast, Get it Now features, etc. I loved that I could put a video of my kitten jumping around on my wallpaper too. OH, and this phone is indestructible. I've dropped it countless times and I always pick it up in perfect condition. The Bad: To use the MP3 player, you have to buy a memory card as well as the special headphones that plug into the phone. I held off on getting an iPod because I thought this phone would be perfect (phone and music all in one) but that was not the case. iPods really own the mp3 player market! Aside from that... It's not the tiniest phone. It is my no means huge or bulky, but it's not paper thin. That's it! Hope this helped.Read full review
The SCH A 590 I feel is one of the best phones that Samsung makes. This will be my third one. I love the feature that you can talk with the phone flipped closed. The item was in good shape when i recieved it. however, the phone memory was not cleared and I was looking at pictures and videos that were Inappropriate. Thankfully the phone was for me and not one of my kids. The phone contact list was also still there. so that seems to be a security concern for the people who I could have contacted. Remember to whipe the memories in the future
I don't like that you have to buy a bunch of crap to download MP3...but that is verizon's fault. It is a good phone accept for some reason it makes faint R2D2 noises when I am talking to people....its weird and slightly annoying. But I get over it. It also doesn't have the best battery life...and it was supposed to be a new battery... But it takes good pictures, and always seems to get better service than my LG I had with ths same phone company.
This review is for the Samsung SCH a950 and the Samsung SCH a950 with VCast Music both for the Verizon Wireless network. This phone packs VCAST, Get It Now, a built in 1.3 megapixel camera, camcorder, stereo speakerphone, and Bluetooth wireless technology, it’s the ultimate in high speed, high tech and high style. The main difference between the two models is the first generation allows you to play MP3 files that you downloaded to your memory card. All new models come flashed with the new software that basically took that capability away but replaced it with a WMA player (Microsoft Windows Media files). Opinions sway in many directions when it comes to MP3 vs. WMA none the less the new models only play WMA. If your looking for the MP3 version make sure you ask the seller before you buy. The plus side with WMA on the newer models is that you can search, preview, buy, and download songs in WMA format directly from and to your phone and another e-mail account that you setup with the service. You download the higher compressed file directly to the phone while the less compressed CD-Quality file is sent to your e-mail address. With an optional VCast Music Kit you get a USB Data cable, Windows Media 10 software and a pair of stereo headphones so you can download your WMA music files to your phone. This is an excellent looking and solid phone. It has a lot of bells and whistles maybe too many, but it does the job and does it well. The Keypad is well laid out and has medium sized buttons; this may be a problem for those worried about fat fingering numbers. Another stand out feature of this phone is the Intenna. Basically the antenna is built into the case nothing extending out. The plus side is that the phone looks and feels great especially with the red metallic faceplate that is standard. The trade off is that you lose about a bar of signal strength. Those into the media player thing will appreciate the full functioning outside media player buttons and jog dial that quickly allows you to scroll through your files. It’s an awesome phone, great primary or backup phone if you lost your main phone or it was stolen.
