More 8200/a620...What use is the Speakerphone??

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.sprintpcs (More info?)

Hi,
The 8200 is not a bad phone, but I chose it specifically because I had
bad experiences with my Samsung a460. plus it seemed that Sanyo's were
rated better in this group.

Has Samsung improved their phones?? Is the a620's reception better?

The camera on the 8200 is not that great...but as to the title of this
post...Speakerphones..?
I originally thought it would be useful, however....now that I think
of it....most numbers (Dell tech Support, etc) that I would want a
speakerphone for are toll-free 1-800 calls.....so it doesn't make
sense to use up my minutes for that obviously!
Maybe in the car, it could be handy....but for me....the Speakerphone
seems like an option I would rarely use since I dont want everyone
around me hearing the call anyway...hence my problems with the Sanyo's
earpiece quality.

Opinions?

Thanks.

A620 has much better reception than the A460.

Not supposed to, thats grounds for a warranty replacement. Dont accept a
problematic phone.
