Thanks for a great phone site. I’ve yet to understand why everyone raves about the Razr/2 and Chocolate phones. I’ve had the 920 for about 2 years now and it’s wonderful.

I have about an hour for lunch and it gets boring so here is what I’ve done. Using your PC, convert video files from avi/wmv/whatever to .3g2 and put them in the media section of the memory card. I use a program called Xilisoft Video Converter. File size is reduced quite a bit so a 2GB card will hold ALOT! Only problems I’ve had is some sound sych issues (off .5 -1 sec) and some grainy video. Easily overlooked.

Again, thanks for such a great resource. Keep it going!!

How to unlock a Samsung SPH-A920?

Thanks Cliff! I enjoy it when people give comments like this, it helps me to justify putting in the time to create pages like that one. This page is actually a bit old now, but the A920 is a GREAT phone and you can still get good deals on it through eBay. I use a Samsung M1 now, and like it as much as this one. As far as the A920 goes – my son has been using it for the last year and a half and hasn’t had a problem with it, other than it not holding charge like it used to. I should probably get him a new battery.

And you’re right……I hate RAZR’s too…

I just wanted to thank you so much for the effort you put into this web page – It’s awesome, as I have been using a “candy bar” phone with Sprint for 5+ years (Google CDM9155sp LOL)

I finally decided to move to a “real” phone and after browsing Sprint, I looked up reviews on dozens of phones. This phone won – I bid and won on eBay for $90. I should have it this Friday and will go to Sprint to activate.

I have been reluctant to sign up for the PowerVision plans, but this page has helped put my concerns to rest.

I’m going to try the phone-as-modem option and if that works well enough, I might do away with cable modem LOL – so that would actually save me money in the long run!

Once again – thank you VERY MUCH for the effort you put into this page – it’s obvious that you love this phone and I feel so good to be joining the “Better than RAZR – Samsung A920 Club” !!! :-)

Take care,
Cliff

You were lied to. You can call Sprint Customer Care and talk to 4 people and get 4 different answers. Most of those idiots don’t know the differences between Vision, Power Vision, Music Pack, etc, anyway. Besides – why were you calling them? If you download the software and hook the phone up it just works – you don’t have to call them to enable anything as long as power vision is running. Visit http://www.sprintusers.com and do some searches – you’ll find out I’m right about this.

I was told by Sprint that, in order to use my A920 as a modem, Power Vision is not enough. You have to subscribe to a $39.99/month “use your phone as a modem” plan on top of Power Vision. What do you know about that?

Nice writeup. You have added alot since I last visited.

One more cool thing. You can go to orb dot com and install their application on your computer. Then browse to orb’s login page on your phone. You have access to all your pictures, songs, videos and even live tv (if you have a tv tuner). Pretty sweet to show off.

Great writeup. You have added alot of stuff since I first visited.

One cool feature (that I don’t use much) that’s really eyecandy. You can go to orb.com and install their application on your computer. You can then browse to the orb login page on your phone and login. From there you can listen to all your music, look at all your pictures, watch all your videos, and even watch live tv if you have a tv tuner. I don’t use it much, but it sure is impressive to show other people what you can do with your cell phone.

:D hey to you all who own a the mm-a920!!!!!!!! i know it works for me dont know if it will work for other cell companies. i found this website myxer.com you can download ringers & screensavers. the charge says free but the ringer or screensaver comes in as a text msg so ofcourse it charges you per text and it also opens up the vision so ofcourse it will charge you vision usage if you dont have it. i pay 10 dollars for my txt service and i get 1000 txt msgs so i was downloading like crazy until i maxed out my memory. the ringers are pretty loud I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! you all can thank me later!!! ;;)
