Samsung MM-A900Truly, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. In the world of technology today, imitation happens frequently. Take for instance, the Motorola Razr V3, this type of cell phone swept the mobile world this year. No doubt those other manufacturers would rush to imitate the popular slim design. As projected, Samsung is the first to offer a Razr reproduction with its MM-A900. Samsung MM-A900 equals the Razr’s thin profile but only raises the bar with a couple of refinements and some extra features not found on the Motorola handset. This includes a 1.3-megapixel camera with a swiveling lens and a flash, MP3 player and support for Sprint’s new 3G network.

Let’s examine the design of Samsung MM-A900. Like the trendsetting Motorola Razr V3, Samsung MM-A900 is all about a slim-sexy design. Fashioned in black, the MM-A900 is slightly bigger than the Motorola phone at 3.9 by 2.0 by 0.6 inches and it weighs a bit more at 3.9 ounces, giving it a slightly more solid feel. Despite the added weight, MM-A900 is still an incredibly thin phone that can slip into almost any pocket. However, be aware that like the Razr, it can be difficult to feel the phone’s vibrating signal in your pocket.

Samsung MM-A900On the other hand, Samsung MM-A900’s front flap, you’ll notice some apparent distinction and improvements over the Razr. Their external display is almost the same size, but the MM-A900’s has a higher resolution and supports 65,000 colors rather than 4,000 of the Razr. MM-A900 also has the screen shows like date, time, battery life, signal strength, caller ID, and photo caller ID (where available). This also serves as a viewfinder for self-portraits.

Like the Motorola Razr, the Samsung MM-A900 is wide. Above the display is a LED that signals for incoming calls and at the same time serves as a camera flash. The camera lens was placed on the hinge of the phone. It can swivel up to 180 degrees to take self-portraits or shots away from you. Though it’s not really that necessary, it’s a nice addition. It is also amazing how Samsung were able to cram it into such a small form factor.

Below the display are stereo speakers as well as convenient play, pause, rewind and forward buttons that control the media player when the handset is closed. And Finally, completing the outside of the phone are a volume rocker, charger port on the left spine, a camera shutter key and a headset jack on the right spine
