If you’re looking for superior multimedia capability wherever you go, look no further than the Samsung SYNC SGH-a707, one of Cingular’s first high-end 3G flip phones. This high-speed, media rich phone features quad-band world phone abilities, while its domestic UMTS and HSDPA capabilities will allow you to download data at speeds only dreamed about before. In fact, because the a707 supports the HSDPA protocol for high-speed data transfer, you’ll be able to stream TV and high-speed video, and more, straight to the a707. Packaged in a stylish clamshell design, the a707 phone is the ultimate multimedia device, and the perfect complement to Cingular Wireless service.

Phone Scoop

In addition to the how well it handles standard tasks, especially browsing, it also performs well on advanced 3G applications like streaming video. Sadly, it falls short on many tasks like music playback, photography and Java performance when compared to many 2G phones, let alone 3G ones.

Cingular’s 3G network is still a work in progress, but the Sync’s compatibility with multiple PC music services along with its XM radio support and user-friendly design, give it the edge over other bargain-priced multimedia phones.

We like the phone’s slick design, and the powerful Web browser was a pleasant surprise on a consumer handset. Best of all, with discounts and rebates, the phone matches the price of the LG CU500 HSDPA flip phone, making it the best choice in its class.

The Samsung Sync is a great choice for music-mad cell phone users, but its call quality could be better.

By all accounts, the Samsung Sync is an attractive cell phone, but looks can be deceiving since it is actually quite large although it has such a thin profile. Since it supports the latest in high-speed data networks you can watch streaming video, listen to music and more. This world phone is also equipped with a 2-megapixel camera (a feature we expect to see in more cell phones) for snapping pics and shooting video. There’s not much you can’t do with this cell phone and for some that can make this cell phone challenging to use.
