Samsung SYNC SGH-A707
Torn between Samsungs A707, Blackjack, and Z620
i just got approved for Cingular network service (leaving T-Mobile's Dash with its slow EDGE) and not sure which phone to get between the A707, the Blackjack and the Z620. from what i've read, all three are fine phones, but not sure about some characteristics of the phone, as they apply to my user needs. so, i would appreciate your input.
Edge is super slow, to me. i do a lot of: surfing the web (NBA.com primarily), taking pictures and videos of my kids (indoors & out), will stream music and videos from "myorb.com" (wonderful site), download ringtones from "theringtonemaker.com" (another awesome site), view UFC fights and cartoons (kids) on expansion card, listen to music on my Jabra 620 bluetooth stereo headphones.
i'm not sure about phone availability, as well as Cingular phone discounts with new service plan (could play a minor role). Price of phone is a factor, but if phone is worth it, it's not an issue (just returned 2 Nokie E70's. firmware issues).
Lastly, does anyone know the fps ratings for video recording on the three phones, and is that rating the primary factor in how clear/grainy the video playback is. and what about processors AND speeds for them? and what role do those speeds play when combined with shared/internal memory.
other features are nice but not deal breakers: alarm clock, calendar, etc. but, being able to autolock phone/keypad is important, as is screen/ application formats and layouts. The Dash's Contacts and call history formats are horrid.
thanks in advance for your help.

I got the A707. Tried the Blackjack too. Get the BJ for what you've described. Same camera and fast processor as the A707 but has true multitasking. A707 can't suspend Java apps. For this reason you can't continue a web session. BJ can. The 707 built-in Netfront browser will choke on larger pages Opera Mini eats for breakfast. I also doesn't save cookies properly if you want to stream via Orb. You'll need to log in every time. Better overall sound too. And BJ can pair to any BT GPS and be a nav unit at once!
