Samsung a990 Features
July 21, 2007
The Samsung a990 is a very powerful, feature rich phone that is currently available with Verizon Wireless (7/21/2007). The model offers a rare, 3.2 megapixel digital camera/camcorder that has an even rarer tv output. The model can be hooked up to a television cable, allowing the user to watch recorded videos and view snapshots.
Recording video with the a990 is much different than with most other models. The phone offers a built-in twist feature which allows the view finder to work like a camcorder.

The Motorola Rizr Z3, which is now being called the T-Mobile Rizor by everyone is finally here, and we’ve finally been able to get some pictures that accurately show what it looks like.
As you can see, the Rizr Z3 for T-Mobile is a pearl blue - we have to say it’s a very cool color. The model has the very cool Rizr slider design and offers some nice features including a 2.0 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, and a music player.
T-Mobile users are eating this up since the Rizr Z3 isn’t available for Cingular, and won’t be for some time.

Overall we have to say that this is one of the coolest phones available with T-Mobile. For once you can get a hand up on your friends that have Cingular (AT&T). The price is about right for now. T-Mobile wants $100 for it with a 1-year contract.
