I know someone who just got either an A700 or A740, seems like a nice phone.
But I forget which one it was.

The big issue with Samsungs is RF performance. Some models handle poor signals
well, some don't. I have been told by others in this newsgroup that the 740
does well. The 700 probably does too. The 660 I originally bought when I
activated my line on our family accounts is a great phone but chokes on weak
signals.

(Email me if you want to sell your VGA-1000. I want one. The VGA-1000 is
another Samsung that is supposed to have really good RF performance.)

I just bought the A760. Great phone if you don't need a camera.
Speaker & voice dial. Check it out.

I have Sanyo PM-8200 and it's an ok phone that I have no complaining about
how it works and looks, except the weird Phone Listing and confusing Menu
that I have been using it for a year but still can't get around the Menu
(except 2-3 options I use daily).
