The good folks at EngadgetMobile were lucky enough to get their hands on
the Samsung SYNC aka SGH-A707. The handset scored brownie points
for its ergonomics, its price tag, its superb voice quality, the vibrant display and its overall performance. EngadgetMobile listed the Bluetooth Connectivity as the SYNC's Achilles heel as they couldn't pair up a couple of devices with it.

The Samsung SGH-A707 is a HSDPA handset which is exclusively
available on the Cingular network. Basting of a smart clamshell
design, the handset includes features like; a 2 megapixel camera, a
media player, support for MP3, WMA, AAC+, RealAudio and streaming
audio. One will also dig the , touch-sensitive external controls
and its brilliant QVGA display. A2DP and microSD expansion are some
other features found on the SYNC.

The review ends on a positive note and this is what Engadget has to
say about the Cingular SYNC "Our very quick, knee-jerk reaction is that this
is a great phone, and for $50 after rebate, it's pretty tough to go
wrong. Depending on the N75's pricing, it could be facing some
pretty stiff upmarket competition in the near term -- and the
torrent of 3G hardware should be pretty consistent heading into
2007 (we hope). But as we sit here in early November 2006, we can
say with some confidence that this is the best bang for your HSDPA
buck."
