Samsung and Verizon Wireless say the SCH-a990, a 3.2-megapixel digital camera phone, is now available. The product boasts a number of media features, including V CAST to view video ,V CAST Music and Bluetooth wireless technology. The SCH-a990 has a design that looks first like a phone and then like a camera. This design, along with the high resolution and features such as a flash and in-camera photo editing software, make the SCH-a990 the first mobile device that is as much a camera as it is a multimedia phone.

The SCH-a990 is a strong V CAST multimedia phone with full music, video and game capabilities on its screen. V CAST Music lets owners play music on their wireless phones - the same device they have come to rely upon for entertainment, information and mobile communication. V CAST customers can browse, preview, download and play digital music from their SCH-a990 over Verizon's broadband network or from the Verizon Wireless V CAST Music online store using a personal computer. Owners can also view video clips from the hottest names in entertainment, news, sports and more in the palms of their hands.
