Overview

Compatible with Sprint PCS cell phone service, the Samsung A660 sports full compatibility with the (optional) Sprint PCS ergonomic game pad, plus a WAP Internet browser, and plenty of phone and organizer features, all displayed on an easy to read, 65K STN color display illuminated by a bright blue backlight.

Game Pad Option

One of the more interesting things about the A660 is its gamepad accessory, (sold separately), which is designed to provide an arcade- or home-gaming-like experience on the A660's color screen. It allows players to execute simultaneous moves, like evading and firing at the same time. A variety of interesting game packages are also available for the phone, including Retro (comes with the games Ms. Pac Man, Galaxian Mini, Missile Command, Centipede, Q*Bert, and more), Kids Games (includes Disney‘s Lilo and Stitch--Space Escape, Pooh‘s Honey Pot Challenge, Ice Cream Man, Drop ‘N‘ Find, and Bubble Blast), and many more.

Calling Features

Used simply as a phone, the A660 benefits from a 5-way scroll key for easy menu navigation and dialing. Primary calling features include a voice-activated phone book and dialing, as well as the following: airplane mode: which lets the phone be powered down independently of its display for playing games and applications during the phones-off time of flight; E911 Emergency Location capability: including an embedded GPS chip, voice-activated status: which allows users to say the word "status" into the phone and receive a verbal confirmation of current signal and battery strength, and picture caller ID: so users can attach a small picture to corresponding phone book contacts. There's also 29 different polyphonic tones and alerts, and an enhanced call log that recalls the 20 most recent outgoing, incoming, and missed calls each. The A660 is also TTY compatible for hearing- or speech-impaired users, with select TTY devices.

Internet

With a PCS Business connection, users can access e-mail and view full color versions of popular Web sites.

Organizer

Organizer features include an internal phone book calendar, to-do list, voice memo function, world clock, alarm, countdown timer, and calculator.
