Solid, durable, but nothing flashy

I've had this phone for well over a year now, and I've just abused it.  I drop it all the time onto hard floors, and it's even gone through the washer/dryer.  The screen's all scratched up, the paint's chipped off, and there's dents all over, but this baby's still holding together for me.  It makes calls and texts reliably, and does what a phone is meant to do. However, if you're looking for something fancy, this is not the phone for you.  Problems I've had with the phone include a battery life that seems to drain too quickly when talking on the phone, the phone getting really hot when under heavy use, and difficulties in going from areas of no service to areas of normal service (often have to restart phone). 

 

Basically, this is just a phone that's managed to hold together, regardless of what I've done to it, and it has served me well.

Pros

Durable
Reliable
Good clarity when talking on phone
No lag when texting

Cons

Seemingly short battery life
Phone gets hot
No email, "extra" features

Battery Life

The only complaint I have about the SGH-A737 is the batter life. It usd to last for two maybe three days of use(texting and a couple phone calls) but now with barely using it(10 text messages) in one day it will lose a bar of battery life. I have to bring my charger with me all the time and it's a major inconvience.

Pros

lightweight
small
nice slide
lock applications
long video life
nice mp3

Cons

BATTERY LIFE
battery cover falls off

I have had this phone for about a year now.  I had to replace it in the first 3 months because it was a defective phone.  It took ATT awhile to finally believe that it had a problem... anyway, this phone used to work really well..  I loved it!

Now a year later, I have to charge my phone EVERYDAY and it still does not charge all of the way.  Also, a key part of the phone that other users and I have noticed with this phone is that it gets HOT in your hand after you have talked for a long time!  By a long time, I mean about after about 45 minutes my hand starts burning and falls asleep due to the phone.  I have never had another phone do this, it is very weird.

Pros

Easy to use
Lots of features

Cons

NO battery life
Get hot in your hand
Hard to push the buttons to text at times
