Samsung SPH-A660 and VI660...

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

Would appreciate it if someone could enlighten me as to the
difference, if any, between the Samsung SPH-A660 and VI660 models. I
keep seeing these two model numbers being used interchangably. Are
they the same?

Thanks in advance.

To make things interesting, if you buy a VI-660 it will still say SPH-A660 on
the back of the phone. They are absolutely the same model.
