Smsung impression7/31/2023 ![]() ![]() The audio app is fairly nice: It can sort by album, artist, or playlist, and when you click on an artist, it sorts the audio files into albums.The phone has 3 different keyboards: Slide-out QWERTY, touchscreen QWERTY (to access this, tilt the phone sideways when in touchscreen 123), and a touchscreen version of the classic 123 layout.What is Tumbling Dice? Dice that tumble when you shake the phone. Pac-Man, Monopoly, Midnight Pool *2*, Diner Dash *2*, and a full version of Tumbling Dice. It also comes preloaded with trial versions of Ms.Another cool thing about this phone is the ability to set up your own connection settings- for instance, I set up DNS servers to redirect to my phone so I wouldn’t ever be able to use the internet on my phone, and it even lets you pick and choose what apps have what connection profile.It comes with all the features that a dumbphone would have: alarms, calendars, call lists, tasks, memos, a calculator, a converter, a “world clock” (just a map of the world, and when you tap a country, it gives you the time), a timer, and a stopwatch.It has a nice user interface, and can send MMS messages.The phone has three fonts: Sans, a little handwriting-esque thing, and then something that looks almost as bad as my handwriting.When inside a folder, you can use the volume adjust to scroll.The touchscreen can be fairly annoying at times, but overall the screen is fairly accurate.Although when you slide out the keyboard, the icons change orientation, the background picture does not.You can’t delete files from the root directory of the MicroSD card.If you touch reply on a text message and keep your finger down, it will send a blank message (the Send button appears where the Reply button was).However, when checking the details on a picture file, when you scroll, it moves up a very large amount. The user interface isn’t consistent- for example, when scrolling in a folder, the folder moves up or down the amount you move your finger.The phone actually has a lag time when it first boots up- you can’t open the messaging app for quite a bit.Another quirk about this phone is that it has raised power, back, and accept call (is that what those are called?) buttons.In my test, it thinks that 12.00004800018 inches are equal to a single foot. It has the weirdest problem of not knowing the correct inches>feet conversion.If you do something that takes a while and is full screen (such as copy a folder from the phone’s onboard memory to the MicroSD card) it may freeze up.I’m guessing it’s a case of too much memory usage, but that means that the software doesn’t get rid of the old zooms. When you use the “zoom” function to zoom into pictures on the internal and MicroSD memory, eventually they show up as just blackness.It’s not a bad phone, but it has too many bugs for a phone 10 months old. The software is where the phone starts to fall apart. It is however quad-band and a “world phone”. It also has a proprietary port for charging, data transfer, etc at the top.It has haptic feedback too: it buzzes when you touch it.It’s not a small phone, but it is very nice to hold in the hand.It features a full QWERTY keyboard and a 3.0 megapixel camera with 3x zoom.However, some brilliant wiz at Samsung thought it would be smart to hide the slot underneath the battery cover. It has a MicroSD slot which can hold up to a 16 GB card.The phone has a nice 3.2″ AMOLED screen and GPS.In other parts of the world the price will vary. In the United States, the Samsung Impression is free with a 2-year contract with AT&T, or $299.99 without. For additional storage, the Impression supports external MicroSD cards. The 3 megapixel camera can can take panoramas (at a tiny 416 vertical pixels) and comes with 200MB of built in storage. It sports a full QWERTY keyboard with a gorgeous 3.2 inch touchscreen. Debuted at the 2009 CTIA, the Samsung SGH-A877 (aka Samsung Impression) is a much talked about handset.
