Editors' rating
Very good
7.3
out of 10
- The good: Excellent voice-activation features; strong call quality and battery life; solid multimedia options; analog roaming.
- The bad: Cramped dial pad; subpar picture quality; no Bluetooth or infrared port.
- The bottom line: Chock-full of multimedia features, the Samsung MM-A880's voice-activation options make this handset a compelling choice.

Performance of Samsung MM-A880 (Sprint)
Design: 7 Features: 7 Performance: 8 We tested the dual-mode/triband (CDMA 800/1900; AMPS 800) Samsung MM-A880 in the Chicago area on the Sprint PCS network. Call quality was good on our end, and callers had few complaints, saying we sounded clear even when we used the integrated speakerphone. On our end, however, the speakerphone volume was low, and cranking up the volume only caused distortion.Battery life was also impressive. We reached 4 hours of continuous talk time from the lithium-ion cell, beating Samsung's rated 3.3 hours. According to FCC radiation tests, the MM-A880 has a digital SAR rating of 1.38 watts per kilogram and an analog SAR rating of 1.48 watts per kilogram.
