Verizon Wireless yesterday added the Samsung SCH-a950 to its lineup. The red accented clamshell is a decently equipped handset priced in the mid-range.

Features of the Samsung A950 include:

• EV-DO high-speed access
• 1.3 megapixel camera
• Bluetooth, crippled see below for details
• MicroSD (TransFlash) card slot
• MP3 player with music control keys on handset

The Bluetooth support is limited to headsets though, but because of the V710 lawsuit this is disclosed up front.

Verizon Wireless is selling the A950 for $149 after rebate with a new service contract.
