Samsung A657 - User Reviews

  • Thick and big, but it's a cell phone that i need. camera is useless for me.

  • not very impressed with phone reception and is not really user friendly not to mention hardly any cool fetchers have to reset the clock and date manually after battery removal

  • yeh its got a camre

  • I am not satisfied with the battery performance of this set

  • Does this thing have a camera or not ? Some reviews say that it has a 3.0 megapixal camera, and some say that it has GPS instead. WTF ?

  • my step-dad has tis phone and he really likes it he is a truckdriver and his boss got it for himmm....... (: hheeee also has a i-phone which is far better but he likes tis one betta ,. LOL x i'm in year seven and supposed to be in claaasss butt anii whayys zachariii (:

  • i think this phone is suited for persons who like adventures! :)

  • Good Design n' Good perfomance Kapan dirilis di Indonesia?

  • it is very beautiful and reliable handset . it is very strong and has good features also!

  • i hope it will sell in my country, i'm looking for this kind of phone.

  • this is the mans world!!!watch out fancy world,here comes a657...

  • is the bound 2700 better? i think it has more....... then this model

  • Maybe its because only for 3G standby+talk time. Probably GSM only should last twice the time of 3G.

  • just wondering how the stand by time and talk time is very low for such high cap battery. Kindly recheck the specs. I'm very interested with this model but the talk and standby time are the dealbreaker.

  • Teenagers....

  • it's look to me like siemens old phone M75. looks like the designer are spresading the "siemens" fad, look at the new Moto phone, some uses the same UI like the last x65 and x75

  • How does ATT Navigator works without GPS or A-GPS on this phone? Service tower locator is not accurate, not even close to be acceptable.

  • You are a dumbsh!t. Its not supposed to have fancy features, its for construction workers you dumbF!ck.

  • These phone i think is for persons who need it. The workers and army. I hade one previous model and i think is perfect phone "extreme" conditions

  • What the hack is this? Each company produces touch screen phones with WLAN, 5mpx camera and above and now the latest "surprise" from Samsung is this phone? I hope they are kidding. I won't give more than $30 for this "piece of work", but anyway I will not buy it certainly.

  • looks like the phone was designed 'for army, by army (faba?!)' not a bad phone though, i guess

  • Gues, this phone is only for - AT&T And it has built - AT&T Navigator. Sadly I must say that the rest of the world will not enjoy for now a good durable phone with GPS.

  • I mean first button, second row. Not phone display :)

  • hey there's no gps but in pic it shows thers a map

  • Is there GPS or not? In this picture I can see a button GPS?! (top, left)

  • interisting set from samsung,I was looking for such one.

  • samsung + nokia = unbeatable
