Samsung SCH-A950 with V Cast Music support reviewed

If you're a member of Verizon's over-the-air V Cast Music club then you'll be stoked to learn that PCMag just posted a review of the Samsung SCH-A950 which they found to be a "great phone" for said service. While they found the handset's V Cast interface to be "almost painfully sluggish" and that jog dial to be "tragically underused" (a knock on the service, not the phone mind you) they still claim that V Cast is the "most elegant and complete" musicphone solution available...today. However, this is a review of the phone right, not V Cast. That said, they found the earpiece and speakerphone of the SCH-A950 to be "unusually loud and clear" and the 1.3 megapixel shooter to take "very sharp, if slightly dim" snaps. On the down-side, the EV-DO A950 can not be used as a PC modem -- if that's your gig then PCMag recommends the LG VX8100 V Cast phone. Overall, the A950 pulls a lukewarm rating of 3.5 out of 5.
