Random Customer Review:

The Samsung Impression is an awesome phone that definitely deserves your consideration if in the market for a new cellular device.

Here are the pros:

-The touch screen AMOLED display is very bright and detailed. I was also very surprised how responsive the screen is. Since it is a 3.2 inch screen it is also very easy to read.

-This phone is very compact,thin and lightweight. It feels very good in the hand and also feels very durable.

-The slide out QWERTY keyboard has chicklet style keys that are very easy to use. The space bar is good size and there is a dedicated message key on the keyboard which makes it very easy to send a quick message.

-Call quality on this phone is great. Speaker phone is loud and very clear.

- Texting is unbelievably easy on this phone. The user-interface is simple and makes texting even easier.

- The camera is a 3.0 megapixel and takes very good photos. Video capture is also decent.

- 3G is fast and browser is good enough for light internet browsing.

Here are the cons:

- No Wi-fi. This feature would have bumped this phone into the smartphone department and it would of been awesome.

- With heavy texting (500 Msgs a day or so) the battery will drain quick. But with light texting and phone calls the phone will last a week or so.

-If you want to put your own custom ringtones on this phone they have to be under 300Kb which is ridiculously small. They force you to buy a ringtone from AT&T if you want a decent one.

-The software it comes with is called PC Manager and is atrocious. It makes putting content on your phone very complicated. Your better off getting a MicroSD card and managing your content that way.

- The LOCK key on the side of the phone is too flush mounted and is hard to push without fingernails.

Overall, this is a quality phone. This is as close to a smart phone as can be without paying for an expensive data plan. If you want the wi-fi and other features then your better off getting a smartphone, but you will be paying for a data plan.
