Sprint Ambassador phone arrives.

FirstMy Sprint Ambassador package arrived today. Here you see my sheepdog (no, he's got nothing to do with my agency's positioning) modeling with the goodie package.

As a reminder, I was sent a fancy new multimedia phone plus six months of free service in return for feedback. Thanks Sprint!

Now, I am no power user. So, I think it bodes well that even though I didn't bother to read the instructions, I still managed to send myself this photo which I snapped on the phone about three minutes out of the box.

The Samsung A-920 is light. Especially compared to the Treo I use now. Now, I still find typing on a phone keypad far more cumbersome than a more complete keyboard (i.e. the Treo or a Blackberry) but...we'll see. The phone has a lot of features: photos, video (!), music, email and, of course web access. That's nice. But it's really a question of ease and at least a modicum of open sourceness ain't it? So, I'll read all the instructions and let you know how the features flow. There's a lot of stuff to play with and not much time to do so this week. I can say that, as of now, Sprint's Power Vision Network seems speedy.

Oh, and, smartly, the letter that arrived with the phone once again ONLY mentioned feedback. Sprint has never requested that I blog about it. They are playing it cool. I do plan to share the phone with some of the other American Copywriter team members so, we'll see what they think, too.

Only con out of the box? The cheesy guy they put on the cover of one of the instructional inserts. Seriously, people.
