I viewed all the reveiwed listed in this site.
As a whole I have different openion.
Basically I have a experience to explore the use of all the features of the product I owned.
# Answering Machine = it is very usefull for a business executive to maitaine relations with thier clientles. OK
# 2000 Phone book memory.= Good for a business executive to store enough contacts. OK. I used 2000 full and 250 memory on the sim also. for me it is not sufficient.
#call conferencing= It is very easy to to dial/attend second call during conversation and no need to dial 3 or 2 or 1 to conference /attend/swap the call. all features will be asked by the phone menu keys itself. very easy and good.
#Voice memo= no use. I used tro here my wife’s sound/song.
#Alarm= Two alarms available. so we can set two different times to wake up in the morning. Never miss the wakeup call.= Ok Good
#During incoming call the number of the second caller will be displayed. So we can identifiy the number and aswer subsequently. Compared to nokia it is good. nokia hand set will show the number of second caller only for a moment and and after it will be displayed as second call. So this phone is ok.
# If there is a dicvert call is coming to a A 800 , that will show the call as a diverted call for a moment. Where as Samsung R 220 will have a option for showing the diverted call permenently till attendence by a arrow ( >) . We don’t no whether we are continuing a diverted call of our number( out going of this nuber is chargable) or not? this fecility is poor with this model.
# No datacable or blue tooth fecility with this model. so it is very difficut to copy datas( Phone book etc) .
#I was using this SGH a 800 phone from 2002, bought it from dubai @ 925AED( around 12500 indian rupees) and replaced the phone one time with in 8 months from the date of purchase due to not working.faced so many pblms & expenced around 4000/- rupees during this last three years for make the phone working. But one thing, I used to talk minimum 3Hrs a day average through this phone. Replaced batteries ( orginal) 4 times cost INR -2000/- etc. Now the phone is totally not usable and the people from samsung is telling that the display replacement cost will be INR 1600/- and no guarantee to ensure the perfect working of the cell phone after the service. Even though I like the shape and features of the phone I find the way of buying a new phone from samsung to ensure the available features of the A 8000 I used to. I bought a new phone but unfortunatly so many featuires are not available with Latest samsung/nokia/sony ericson/others.

1) Minimum phone Book: 2000.
