Reviews of the Samsung MM-A800 (Sprint)

CNET Review
The Good: Two-megapixel camera; nice slider design; large, gorgeous screen; direct-to-printer photo printing; business card reader; streaming video and audio player; 32MB TransFlash memory card included; 3D gaming.
The Bad: Bulky and heavy; no Bluetooth or IR support; no speakerphone; choppy video over 1xRTT network; expensive.
The Bottom Line: Sprint's snazzy new slider phone boasts the first 2-megapixel camera in the United States and a host of multimedia goodies, but it's stuck on yesterday's data network.
