Anyone know if bluetooth is going to be crippled on this by Sprint?

I like my sprint service where I live, but if they don't knock off this crap with limiting bluetooth to just headsets, I'm heading over to Cingular.

It amases me that in the face of competition offering full bluetooth access, that sprint and verizon keep their bluetooth crippled.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/09/hands-on-with-the-blade-aka-the-samsung-sph-a900/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/09/hands-on-with-the-blade-aka-the-samsung-sph-a900/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/09/hands-on-with-the-blade-aka-the-samsung-sph-a900/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/09/hands-on-with-the-blade-aka-the-samsung-sph-a900/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/09/hands-on-with-the-blade-aka-the-samsung-sph-a900/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/09/hands-on-with-the-blade-aka-the-samsung-sph-a900/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/09/hands-on-with-the-blade-aka-the-samsung-sph-a900/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/09/hands-on-with-the-blade-aka-the-samsung-sph-a900/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/09/hands-on-with-the-blade-aka-the-samsung-sph-a900/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/09/hands-on-with-the-blade-aka-the-samsung-sph-a900/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/09/hands-on-with-the-blade-aka-the-samsung-sph-a900/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/09/hands-on-with-the-blade-aka-the-samsung-sph-a900/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/09/hands-on-with-the-blade-aka-the-samsung-sph-a900/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/09/hands-on-with-the-blade-aka-the-samsung-sph-a900/

I've been waiting soooooo long for a decent phone that supported bluetooth iSync from Sprint (although I see no Samsung phones on http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/isync/devices.html ). I know I could look this phone up - but I wonder if it'll support push-to-talk....

I like my Sprint service in the U.S. (so far) - but if only Sprint would have a phone that would be supported in Denmark, too.......... *sigh*]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/09/hands-on-with-the-blade-aka-the-samsung-sph-a900/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/09/hands-on-with-the-blade-aka-the-samsung-sph-a900/

It's very simple: all companies release their hottest consumer products for the hottest shopping season.

So there really is no mystery as to when these new phones will hit...most will hit this month or early December. Most companies probably want their hottest products available for purchase at least by the weekend after Thanksgiving.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/09/hands-on-with-the-blade-aka-the-samsung-sph-a900/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/09/hands-on-with-the-blade-aka-the-samsung-sph-a900/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/09/hands-on-with-the-blade-aka-the-samsung-sph-a900/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/09/hands-on-with-the-blade-aka-the-samsung-sph-a900/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/09/hands-on-with-the-blade-aka-the-samsung-sph-a900/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/09/hands-on-with-the-blade-aka-the-samsung-sph-a900/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/09/hands-on-with-the-blade-aka-the-samsung-sph-a900/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/09/hands-on-with-the-blade-aka-the-samsung-sph-a900/Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/09/hands-on-with-the-blade-aka-the-samsung-sph-a900/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/09/hands-on-with-the-blade-aka-the-samsung-sph-a900/

There are many side by side shots of the two phones that are out there. When opened, yes the A900 is bigger, but that's because the top part flip is longer, but there is NO gross and visually heinous "hump" at the bottom.

And the benefit of the top being longer is a MUCH bigger internal screen. And a lot clearer to boot.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/09/hands-on-with-the-blade-aka-the-samsung-sph-a900/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/09/hands-on-with-the-blade-aka-the-samsung-sph-a900/
