Hey US resident, if you're interested in samsung A990, only Verizon currently sells it. Expect to pay $349.99 for this smartphone and a 2-year contract. You'll now be able to snap decent photos with the built-in 3.2 megapixel camera, use Bluetooth to transfer to a computer, or show your visual masterpieces to everyone with the TV out option.

But what about, the um...phone part? This model is a Smartphone after all; it mainly focuses on telephony. Does this phone provide a great mobille experience? Read this review from Digital Trends to find out.

Locked-In? The review glowingly praises Verizon's VCAST service. Hopefully though, Verizon won't make it hard for A990 users to enjoy their own content, as they did with the Chocolate and RAZR V3.
