Samsung SCH-a670 ?

I have the Samsung SCH-a670 camera phone. I havent seen much of
anything posted about this phone. Does anyone have any comments as to
this being a "good" or "bad" phone?
I have the Plantronics noise cancelling ear/mic. With the leather case
on the phone, the ear/mic is very cumbersome to use. The ear/mic jack
is located on top of the phone. Its hard to open the flip all the way
with the ear/mic in its jack. Also, there is no button on the outside
of the phone to answer the call with the ear/mic in so you have to
unclip it from your belt, then flip the phone open, then hit the send
button to answer the phone. It kind of seems to defeat the purpose of
using the ear/mic when driving if the phone has to be answered with
that much distraction. The cam takes Ok pics although I didnt
necessarily want/need the camera. I just like the small size of the
phone. The display on the outside of the phone is nice to have too so
you can check caller ID, although its a little small using my aging
eyes. Just looking for what is a "good/better" phone.
Thanks,
Tom

Not sure if that phone has voice stuff, but I have a jabra freespeak
wireless headset on my candy bar phone, keep the phone in my pocket or
briefcase, and doing anything with the phone was a royal pain. I messed with
the voice dialing, and now, if the name is in the phone book, it says who is
calling and then accept yes/no. For calling, I still have to hit the send
key and then speak the name of the phone book entry. While not perfect, it
makes it a bit more useful. Some flip phones (again don't know about that
specific one) let you use a headset with the flip closed, maybe you could
make a small hole and jury rig something to push the send button with the
case closed.
