Back in December, I smashed my phone against the countertop at work while it was still in my pocket. Because of it’s valiant efforts to repair itself, I figured I would keep it around for a while longer.
About a month later, in January, I spotted an Engadget blog entry about some new Samsung phones that would be offered through Sprint. One of them, the MM-A800, really caught my eye because it was to be the first 2.0 megapixel camera phone to be offered in the United States. I vowed to get that phone the day it became available.
After patiently waiting for 4 months, I was pretty psyched yesterday when I read about it’s long-overdue release. My excitement turned to disgust when I saw the phone’s $499 price-tag. However, when I remembered that my Sprint rebate was availble May 1st (with Sprint, you get a discount on a new phone every 18 months), I immediately called Sprint and found out that I would be getting a HUGE discount.
Needless to say, I ordered it and it should be here sometime tomorrow. I absolutely cannot wait to take advantage of having a good digital camera in my pocket at all times. Oh yeah, it makes 30 second videos too. Hmmm…

That’s a freaking sweet phone! I read a review of it a couple of weeks ago…looks pretty fancy-schmancy (aka a gadget guy’s fantasy).
Does it support Bluetooth?
