Misrepresentation

When I went to Samsung's website and looked this phone up, it had two bluetooth devices listed as compatible.  On the strength of this, I purchased one of the devices, only to find that the phone does NOT support bluetooth.  I have seen the AT&T announcement of this phone for their GoPhone and that ALSO claims this phone supports bluetooth.

Pros

- GoPhone

Cons

- The most unintuitive user interface I have ever seen
- Available web information, including at manufacturer's website, is inaccurate and misleading

Samsung A-167 Go Phone

I have this phone for AT&T's Go Phone service. I picked it because I wanted a flip phone and I wanted a camera. There aren't many choices for the Go Phone, and this was the only flip phone. Its features and performance are dated, meaning if it were 2004 this phone would be at least a mid-range phone. The camera is only .3 megapixels, it doesn't have Bluetooth, which are mid-range functions I can do without. If you want a phone with high end-features like 3G web browsing and video streaming and a music player and all that, then this phone sure wouldn't be anywhere near meeting your wants. As for needs, it makes good, loud calls, I can hear the person I'm talking to, they can hear me well. Text messaging is fine, except the phone is a bit small, so it gets a little cramped. The external screen can't be used to take pictures with the phone closed, and  there is no camera shortcut button, but like I said, if you want to do basic things with this phone, which is probably why you have a prepaid or Go Phone in the first place, then this phone does its job.

Pros

makes calls
loud speakerphone
buttons are not flat and flush to surface of phone

Cons

no Bluetooth
keyboard could be more spacious
no external color screen
internal screen resolution weak
camera resolution weak
small size
