The folks at PhoneScoop.com have published an extensive review of the new Cingular Sync smartphone (otherwise known as the Samsung a707 mobile phone).

The sync features:

  • 2 megapixel digital camera
  • Support for Cingular Video capabilities
  • Music player with multiple formats
  • Bluetooth support with A2DP profile
  • Download Music Tone ringtones, graphics, and games
  • Multimedia messaging support
  • Quad band world phone with dual band UMTS/HSDPA support
  • Support for AOL, Yahoo!, and MSN IM
  • MobiTV and MobiRadio apps
  • microSD support
  • Mobile email capabilities
  • Wireless Internet access
  • Hands-free speakerphone
  • Preloaded games

You can get the Sync right now for $49.99 after a 2 year contract, an online discount and a $100 dollar mail in rebate.

Here’s the verdict from PhoneScoop:

The Sync represents a significant step forward for Cingular’s 3G line up, whether judging based on data speed, looks or performance. In addition to the how well it handles standard tasks, especially browsing, it also performs well on advanced 3G applications like streaming video. Sadly, it falls short on many tasks like music playback, photography and Java performance when compared to many 2G phones, let alone 3G ones.
