  "Looks nice - Bluetooth does not work!"

  by astrobuf on January 6, 2006

  Pros: Size, display

  Cons: Bluetooth does not work with Car Nav, Battery Life

  Summary: Samsung seems to have rushed this model (and the other 9XX) phones to market. Despite indications on the Samsung web site re: Hands Free Link protocol support for Car Audio interoperability, it does not work.
  
  The Acura web site indicates 0 of 10 functions work! Most Sprint and Samsung Support staff seem to be poorly informed.
  
  The Sprint users forum seems to find many frustrated A900 and A940 users. Software updates and support seem poor.
  
  I'd advise waiting 6 months if you need Bluetooth interoperability with anything more advanced than a headset.

  Well it has been a month now. The Bluetooth HAnds Free Link software still is broken. Sprint and Samsung tech support seem clueless until you get to second or third level support. When you get to someone who knows, they admith there is a big problem. The A9XX phones have been through 3 software revisions in the past 2 months and things remain broken.
  
  For those wondering what I am talking about, chek out these forums:

  The Acura web site says 0 or 9 functions needed for Hands Free Link compatibility actually work. The Samsung webs ite says they should.
  
  Samsung and/or Sprint rushed this phone to market. If you ahve a headset, it probably works well enough. If you want the rest of the Bluetooh modes. Your out of luck!

  If you keep reading bad things, then try reading through the postive reviews so you can find some helps. Just a hint!

  what web sites and forums are you reading? Look on here at Cnet, this phone has a rating over 8. Every web site I have seen, most people are happy. You are just mad and making up things.
