Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Want all the best phone features without breaking the bank? The Samsung SCH-a870 is just the ticket. This stylish handset boasts Bluetooth, advanced speech recognition, a camera, and a speakerphone. All in all, this phone is a great companion for anyone with a busy, on-the-go lifestyle.

Design
The phone features a traditional clamshell design with a vibrant 128 x 160 pixel color display with 262,000 colors. A supplementary full-color 96 x 96 external screen displays call information, signal strength, and more. Most of the phone's features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's control pad. The a870 has no external antenna, so there's nothing to snag in your pants pocket. There's a standard jack to accept universal hands-free headsets, while an integrated VGA camera with a flash is housed on the front cover of the phone.

Calling Features
The a870's built-in address book can store up to 500 contacts for quick and easy management of phone numbers and email addresses. The phone comes with built-in polyphonic ringtones plus a vibrating alert. Speaker-independent voice recognition allows you to make calls and access other essential features, all without ever touching the device. Meanwhile, a built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear. Plus, picture ID functionality lets you assign photos or other images to callers. And because the a870 is Bluetooth enabled, wireless headsets can be configured with the phone for total handsfree operation. A flight mode allows you to shut off the phone's calling functions so you can play games or use the a870's organizer functions.

The a870's GPS location technology pinpoints your location when you dial 911. Perhaps most importantly for users in rural areas, the a870 is a tri-mode phone, meaning it can operate on Verizon's digital networks, as well as analog networks that serve many outlying areas.

Messaging, Internet, and Tools
The a870 covers the messaging basics with support for sending and receiving text, pictures and sound. The phone also supports mobile instant messaging. T9 text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit -- a plus for mobile text messaging users. Getting on the Internet anywhere is easy with the a870, as well. Verizon's optional Mobile Web 2.0 package allows you to read and send e-mails, exchange instant messages and view your favorite web content on your phone. You can also trade stocks online, compare prices while shopping, access flight information, get movie listings and find directions to the theater.

The a870 includes a personal organizer that includes a calendar, alarm clock, and calculator. You can also use the phone's Bluetooth capability to establish a link with your laptop or PC for data sharing and Internet connectivity. Also included with the a870 is Verizon's VG Navigator software, which allows you to get real-time, turn-by-turn audible directions as you're driving.

Imaging and Entertainment
The fun really starts with the a870's built-in VGA (640x480) camera and flash, which features a self-timer and white balance adjustment. And if you want to make your a870 reflect your personality, it features customizable theme colors, screen backgrounds, fonts and caller ID graphics and pictures. Gaming is supported, too.

Vital Statistics
The Samsung SCH-a870 weighs 3.40 ounces and measures 3.6 x 1.80 x 0.85 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 3.3 hours of digital talk time, and up to 170 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the AMPS 850/CDMA 850/CDMA 1900 frequencies. The phone comes with a one-year limited warranty.
