First things first: This is not a pager. Even with the Verizon Wireless logo and camera flash on the 
front, the Samsung SCH-a930 could easily be mistaken for a beeper. Unique appearance aside, this clamshell has all the multimedia goodies V CAST fans are looking for, including over-the-air music downloads, dedicated media keys, and a 1.3-MP camera.
The all-black, curved body features three music control buttons (play/pause, fast-forward, and rewind) and a vertical OLED screen that displays the usual cell phone readouts, plus a single line of info while playing music. Flipping open the SCH-a930 reveals a keypad with well-sized buttons that make dialing and navigation simple.
There are two ways to buy music for the SCH-a930: by purchasing speedy, over-the-air downloads ($1.99 a pop) or by downloading songs from the online V CAST music store (99 cents each), and then transferring them to the phone’s microSD Card with Windows Media Player 10. (Windows Media Player 11 is not supported by the current drivers.) You can also transfer MP3s from your existing music collection to the SCH-a930, but WMP 10 will need to convert each track to the WMA format first. Unfortunately, you’ll need to shell out some extra cash for a microSD Card or a USB data cable, as neither is included. :: LAPTOP Magazine • Samsung SCH-a930 ::
