Samsung SPH-A640 Review

Sprint has announced the availability of a stylish new handset from Samsung, the SPH-A640. The sleek clamshell handset features good specifications and an attractive design that includes a hidden OLED external display.

The CDMA Samsung SPH-A640 sports a VGA camera with a self-timer, white balance, and brightness controls, as well as Push-To-Talk support and Bluetooth wireless connectivity. The handset has speakerphone functionality, speaker independent voice dialing, and a WAP 2.0 compatible browser - all in a package weighting just 91g (3.2oz).

The Samsung SPH-A640’s phone book is rather small at 300 contacts, but each entry holds five phone numbers, e-mail and Web addresses, a nickname, and a short memo. You can assign callers to groups, pair them with one of 9 monophonic or 20 polyphonic (32-chord) ring tones, or assign them a photo for caller ID. Keep in mind, however, that the image will not show up on the external display. There’s also a separate Ready Link address book that holds 200 personal contacts and 200 work contacts. Other dialing features include voice and speed dialing and three-way calling, as well as call forwarding and call waiting. And like the Samsung SPH-A580, the SPH-A640 supports Sprint’s new wireless backup service.
