Samsung Impression

28 Sep 2009 Jess

9.7 out of 10

The samsung impression is quite impressive for a dumbphone. The screen is bright and vibrant, the keyboard has a nice feel to it and it has amazing call quality. Im not sure why people are have internet problems with theirs but I surf like crazy on this. Ive had them all, blackberry curve 8900, bold, iphone, htcs, the works I was sick of smartphones cause i never used the smartness in them besides the internet and besides the Iphone this phone has a better browser than most winmo phones. Good job samsung. Cant wait to see another version of this type of phone to com out.

Pros

Screen size and brightness, keyboard and texting, browser speed, micro sd support, responsive touch screen, Hasnt froze on me yet, battery lasts long do to amoled screen. plus tons more

Cons

no wifi, resistive touch screen instead of captive, no 3.5mm headphone jack.

Stay away from ATTs if you want to surf!

3.3 out of 10

Thought Id like a physical KB but I don't. Touch screen too sensitive. Full of more locked garbage programs you cant get rid of than a disney DVD. This thing is so full of junk, especially the AT MediaNet browser- totally worthless and 3rd party appls like Google Maps and Opera Mini dont work well, nag you every 3 seconds about using data, and the interfaces with them are awful. You CANNOT surf with this phone. Calls are OK,music and video players OK, the PC software for it is primitive. Texting is good. Ratings relate to ATT version. A clean unlocked customizable might be very good!?

Pros

Texting
Media players
call quality

Cons

Full of garbage programs
Screen too sensitive
Typical short battery for this level of phone
Impossible to surf the web [due to ATT & Samsung]
Top Menus full of garbage - things you want must be buried down deep
