Nice! A true successor to the 530, with an outside display (sucks that the 650 didn't have one), and better battery life.

May well get one come upgrade time if the Nokia 3155 doesn't show or really disappoints. Of course, a speakerphone woulda been nice.

Phone is very light. has the same screen as the A670 and same layout more or less. seems a bit plasticy but should be a popular phone for people that want a nice simple phone.

Hey Kooman81...Checked it out at RS a couple of days ago...you're right! Very attractive and quite a few nice features for a basic phone! Played around with it for a couple of minutes...a few nice ringtones (better than the ones I got on my N330!) and wallpapers. Feels comfortable in the hand as well. Kinda wish I would have seen it before I got my N330...not saying I would have got the A570 instead, but since I'm having some software issues with my N330...but then who's to say I would have had some issues with the A570! Anyway, it's a nice phone! Wonder if it's going to appear here in the VZW line-up/forum? Also any idea when the corporate stores plan to sell it?

We were told it was an exclusive for us for a little while just like the V710 was last year.

Have you had a chance to use the phone? How does it hold on to a signal? My Aunt is having problems with her LG-4500 dropping calls, or getting voice messages days later...also she has problems "bumping" all the keys on the side of the 4500. Suggested she look at the Kyocera SoHo...no side keys. But how would the Samsung A570 connectivity wise compare to the SoHo? Opinions? Thanks! 🙂
