Just purchased this sweet new A920, so new in fact I can't even get a case for it because they don't make one yet.
I researched for some time and was torn between the A920 and A940. The A920 won. For starters it's a beautiful phone. It has great features as well. The A940's final straw for me was the rotating ear piece. After looking at them in the stores and noticing they seemed to wear quickly I decided on this phone.
The cons I have with this phone is that there are so many buttons it's hard to answer the phone and hold it without hitting a volume key or something. I guess I'll re adjust.
Sprint, oh good old Sprint, #1 in customer service (LOL), pushes their Sprint Power Vision. Watch TV with your phone for only $25.00 a month!! Wow!! So I'm sitting here with my first month free Power Vision and realize what Sprint does NOT tell you in the fine print, (because I looked) that you have to pay $4.99 to $9.99 EXTRA for the channel you want. So if you want Fox News, Sirius, and Weather Channel you have to pay $25.00 plus the other monthly fees for the channels. So your looking at $40.00 plus extra a month. That's just 3 channels. I figured Sprint would sell out it's customers like that. Not to mention if you discontinue your Power Vision that you can't PAY to upload extra ring tones. Thank goodness I found a program to let me upload my own for free. Why should you have to pay for a quick jingle? Especially since this phone is an MP3 player and cannot use the MP3's as rings. Typical. There's that #1 customer satisfaction from Sprint. I won't mention the other problems I had with Sprint.
Back to the phone. The MP3 player is great. Acceptable sound coming from your cell phone. It also has 2 speakers on each side for a stereo sound. The phone uses a Trans Flash card, really tiny thing, as memory. Only goes up to 512MB but I understand Sandisk will release up to 2GB later in the year. The screen display is wonderful. Lots of colors. The camera is decent but not for your home photo album collection. But a neat tool.
I tried the game mode just briefly. Tried Ms Pac Man and Too Fast Too Furious and they look great. Now controlling the game was another thing. The games can be purchased from Sprint. That I understand, still can't understand the ringer thing though.
I find the phone to be user friendly. Didn't have many problems getting it set up to my liking's. I've had a great signal since I've had it. Calls are fine. Overall a great phone. I love it. Now if Sprint would just stop trying to drain our wallets of our hard earned cash with all their extras then this phone would almost be perfect.

Yet again Im amazed by how companies will push something just to get it done. Dont get me wrong I love my new phone, however I do not love the problems its given me already. I work at a sprint store and so I dont have to make the trip everytime something is wrong, but I do have to give up my business phone to get it checked out. So far our tech has seen my phone 4 times, this is since the 2nd. Mostly for vision (the web) problems. Oh and as far as the vision pack goes for the phone, whats the point in getting the highend phones without it? Why pay atleast $200 for something that's going to do the same things a regular picture phone would do? I got this phone for the amazing streaming, bluetooth capablitities, and amazing sound for MP3s! And it hasnt let me down on those. The vision is another story... Wish they would of held onto this one just a little bit longer and worked out the bugs....

The image quality from the camera is horrible, far worse than the LG MM-535, especially for outside shots.
The media player is decent, but I find this irritating: my Bluetooth headset won't play one channel of sound. I think you need the stereo headset to listn to the media player.

I have had this phone since april 06. Its an ok phone. the fact that its sprint makes it like 10 times worse than it really is . Also, if you dont want to pay a fortune for a cell phone, then its quiet boring. With sprint (ew discusting), they make u pay 15$ minimun extra to do the power visions stuff. plus if you want free Instant messengers u have to pay 2.99 for that ETC ETC ETC. sprint is just one mess full of extra, unessesary charges. any way getting back to the phone...
PROS:
sleek look
Battery life... pretty good
user friendly. the menu is organised and doesnt take that long to get used to
lots of features
Neutral:
reception - so much fluxuation its agrivating becuase it will go from like 4 to 0 bars while your on the phone, then you'll drop the call and miliseconds later it will go back to several bars.
Cons:
its for sprint
costly features (but thats just sprint in general)
volume rocker gets jammed
ringtones are bad and annoying
backgrounds can be better.
overall the pros out way the cons but i wouldnt recommend the phone ONLY becuase its for sprint service. trust me, dont get sprint
