Samsung Impression SGH-A877- (AT&T)
On the other hand the Touch screen picked up my greasy fingerprints and needed to be cleaned frequently. For some reason there is no voice command capability. The lock/unlock button is on the right side of the phone at the center of the slide out QWERTY keyboard. This caused some difficulty when attempting to unlock the phone. Press the button and the slider moves. You need to hold the phone firmly so no Slider movement is possible and then press the lock button. The memory card must be installed under the SIM by removing the back of the phone. This was not difficult just annoying. The Impression can handle memory cards up to 16GB. I did not have to remove the battery so that was a plus.
AT&T costs from their site: At the bottom of the Touch screen are three icons: Dial, Contacts, and Menu. Below these, on the phone case, are three keys: Talk/Send, Back, and Power/End. Below those is the microphone. On the left side of the phone are the Multitask and Volume keys. On the right side are The Lock key and the Camera key. Music, Video, and Photos PC STUDIO Battery Mobile Email Messaging Widget Bar and Main Menu The Widget Bar is hidden on the left side of the home screen. Once visible Widgets can be dragged out from the banner of Widget Icons and opened on the screen. You will have to decide which of these are helpful to you. I found a number of them worked well for me. The Samsung Impression for AT&T is a very easy to use texting phone with many messaging capabilities. The Touch Screen is quite usable. The other on-board capabilities make this a fine phone. With a two year contract its cost is a little high unless all the texting and email capabilities are truly what you need. If you are more of a photo/video taker you might want to check out those phones with a higher pixel camera and flash. Overall I liked the Samsung Impression. The positive parts of the experience by far outweighed the negatives. For more details on this and other Samsung products CLICK HERE. For more details on this and other AT&T products CLICK HERE. |

Although the 3 MP camera produces very good daylight pictures it is limited in low or even medium light as it has no flash. The Zoom at 3X digital is minimal but OK when lighting is good. Video Share was tested with a comparable phone and performed well.
