You know a design is elegant when it makes what had seemed sleek or unnoticable last year look ugly and clunky now. I'm upgrading from Samsung's A460, and even their old little wrist strap looks dingy and poor compared to the new wrist strap, much less the phone itself.I've had the unfortunate luck to have used all three of Sprint's new video phones, and this is the one I'll be keeping. The Toshiba VM4050 is the most powerful and has the best picture quality, but it's also very big, and this one's camera isn't far behind. It takes pictures in a tenth of a second or so, which is technically slower than the Toshiba, but is still fast enough to satisfy me (unlike the Sanyo VM4500, which takes multiple seconds, like cheap handheld digital cameras do).The Samsung only has 2MB of memory for downloaded games and ringers, compared to Toshiba's 4.5 or 5, yet says it can hold 40 of the highest quality pictures. I'm not sure if that means it just has isolated memory for the camera while the Toshiba's is all lumped together or what, but it's enough for me.This Samsung is TINY. So small it's almost a con; it gets lost in my hand. It doesn't have a lot of buttons, but all four of the directional buttons can be linked to any of its functions. Due to the small size, the screen is also kind of small, but it works just fine, and all the text is large enough to read.The side buttons' placement seem awkward at first, but are actually quite comfortable.The phonebook is the retarded stepchild of the other brands' options: it's essentially the exact same as the A460's phonebook, except in color, and with an extra slot for web address and e-mail. The order you put your numbers in is the order they get registered with speed dial, you can't register multiple cell phones or work phones with one name, you can't change the type of phone (work, home, mobile) a number is registered as without deleting it and reentering, the search feature lags. The Toshiba can do all of that, and its search is instant.Call quality is excellent, reception is wonderful, even in solid concrete buildings where my A460 never had reception, it fits anywhere, and I am extremely happy with it. I've listed a lot of problems, but they're all minor. Every single complaint I've listed is an improvement on the A460, and aren't problems for me, I just feel the need to point out everything anyone might object to.Also, it doesn't have speakerphone. I don't know why you would want speakerphone, I can't imagine every using speakerphone on a cellular phone, I like the phone being the cheapest and smallest video phone without it. Whatever.
