Cellular Phone Universe

The sleek and compact Samsung MM-A880 cellular phone is loaded with a 1.0 megapixel camera, Video on Demand and a camcorder. The camera can also capture video that can be shared with your friends and associates via video messaging. The video unit records in MPEG4 format and can capture clips up to 15 seconds in length. Plus, with the embedded PictBridge software, you can just plug your phone into a compatible printer for direct printing. Plus, you’ve got two beautiful screens and voice dialing capability.

Samsung MM-A880 Design
The A880 features a traditional clamshell design with a very large 176 x 220 color display and support for a whopping 262,000 colors — plenty of room and color depth for video content. A full-color 80 x 96 supplementary display on the outside of the cover displays incoming call information, battery life, signal strength, graphics, photos and more. The camera unit is placed just above this display, as is an LED flash. Most of the phone’s features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset’s backlit control pad. The phone also features a standard jack to accept universal hands-free headsets, or a stereo handsfree headset.

Samsung MM-A880 Calling Features
The A880’s built-in address book can store up to 500 contacts for quick and easy management of phone numbers and email addresses. The phone also comes with 29 built-in polyphonic ringtones plus a vibrating alert. You can match pictures with callers to identify them, making it easy to know who’s calling without opening the phone. A built-in speakerphone makes it easy to use the phone handsfree, while voice activated dialing makes calling your friends, family and associates as easy as saying their names. Plus, voice features are speaker-independent, so there’s no need to train the phone to respond to any one person’s voice. And because the A880 features advanced voice recognition you can say the phone number you want to call digit-by-digit. Or say “status” and the phone will respond audibly with the current signal and battery strength, as well as the phone’s coverage. Lastly, The A880’s GPS location technology pinpoints your exact location when you dial 911 (where available).

Messaging, Internet, and Tools
Because the A880 supports PCS Vision services, messaging features are robust. You can easily send and receive email, exchange text messages, or join a chat room. Support is built in for instant messaging clients from AOL, MSN and Yahoo!, so you’re never out of touch when you can’t make a call. Using the phone’s video and still camera, you can take advantage of Sprint PCS Vision video and picture mail services. Plus, with Sprint TV you’ll enjoy full-color video clips or live TV of the latest news, sports, and entertainment from CNN, Fox, The Weather Channel, and more. If that’s not enough, you can also get streaming music from every genre delivered right to your phone.

PCS Vision mobile Web services also let you check out sports scores, get your seven-day forecast, check your flight status, and stay up to date with the latest news. Experience full-color graphic versions of popular Web sites or purchase and download premium applications, games, ringers, and screensavers to your phone. T9 text entry, a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built-into the unit– a plus for mobile web and messaging users.

The MM-A880 cellular phone lets you work on the go with an integrated calendar, appointment scheduler, and a to-do list. The phone also includes a world clock, a voice memo recorder, a calculator, a memo pad, a timer, and an alarm clock.

Imaging and Entertainment
Get ready to take great pictures with the A880’s megapixel camera, which can shoot pictures at a maximum resolution of 1152 x 864 pixels. The camera also features an LED flash and a digital zoom, plus a self-timer and brightness and white balance controls. Integrated PictBridge support means that you can print your pictures instantly on a compatible printer using a USB data cable — no PC or special software is needed.

As mentioned, the camera can also capture video that can be shared with your friends and associates via video messaging. The video unit records in MPEG4 format and can capture clips up to 15 seconds in length.
