  • please how can i use the im in this phone

  • where did you get your phone?

  • i have this phone with AT&T locked, got it to India.. can some one tell me how to unlock the phone... thanks in advance

  • sounds like it has some problems with connecting to OS X to transfer files and... the computer just can't find the mobile phone... anyone knows any driver or specific program to solve this problem

  • presently using this fone, switched from a nokia x3. gotta say, the only reason i miss my nokia is just the 3mm jack and ebooks (using the samsung default reader is a mighty pain). i love this fone. 've been able to install snaptu, bolt, games,2go etcetera. must admit that at&t messed up in preventing screensave swap (it was like they wanted to prevent the fone from being unlocked) getting applications for the fone is also a pain (compared with the ease of downloading x3 app). camera is also mildly annoying. all in all 4/10 (nokia 3.99995)

  • i am having problems with using with t-mobile network

  • Is there a way to delete the default screensaver on this phone and replace them with my own selection of pictures?

  • I've had nothing but trouble with this phone. It will not connect to the internet without taking out the battery and replacing it. I've had two of these phones through warranty and the exact same thing happens with both of them. I do not recommend it.

  • this would be the perfect phone for me, but i live in the uk and you cant buy it anywhere :(

  • The Samsung A797 Flight is a pretty good phone.. the one main issue i have with this phone is the screen!! every time i text using the touch screen this black smudge on the screen appears! it is very annoying i would like to have it replaced for free since i didnt do any damage to the phone but im afraid the warranty people will say that I damaged the phone and that they cant do anything about it.

  • im having samsungflight a797 it gives me a best experience best camera quality best 3g support n faster socialnetworking im feeling wow about samsung a797

  • have the b3410. love it. cant wait to upgrade to the A797..

  • I bought this phone brand new back in March of 2010 because I kept getting bad refurbished phones through warranty. In the three months that I've had it, I've had it replaces through warranty three times because it just spontaniously shuts off. When I get a phone call and try to answer, turns off, when I try to send a text message, turns off, recieve a text message and try to read it, turns off. This phone has given me nothing but problems in the three months that I've had it and I would not reccomend this phon to anyone, unless they like having a phone that shuts off all the time!!!!!!!!!!!

  • does this phone have a 3.5mm jack? :O i'm thinking of exchanging my corby pro (texting problems) to this one.

  • the website would be www.att.com/ and you may type in the search box the name of the phone. then that's it. :)

  • its available online if online which website

  • Actually, there is AT&T Navigator on the phone.

  • I just got the phone and I love it. I t very user friendly. I would recommend it to everyone.

  • great phone

  • wat a great phone, can do so much compared to other touch screen phones...

  • i definitely buy this fone; quad band, us3g, capacitive touchscreen, slider phone, full qwerty keypad, gps, very thin, short in lenght, and so on.. its very cheap cost less than 200usd unlocked.

  • nice fone

  • First of all, u should insult yourself first! Cuz ur english makes it worthy to do so! So look in the mirror first, before posting any of your stupidity!

  • For a "feature phone" like this, I would definitely buy it! Because it's made by Samsung, has a capacitive touchscreen, TouchWiz UI and a nice sliding QWERTY keyboard! Definitely worth your money!!!

  • Wrong thickness should be 13mm

  • this phone is HSDPA-capable.

  • Great hardware specs. My ideal form factor actually. Ye, just like the Palm Pre. Now, if they'd only put a 3.5G radio, WiFi and GPS on there...

  • It says it has a 2 megapixel camera... not great but better than the 1.3 on many other phones.

  • What The *uck??????? Thickness juz 1.3mm????? GSMarena are u kidding???

  • No 3G? No Pre comparison applies.

  • No it's a good phone for people who want a phone but not for geeks who think that a good phone should have a 12 mega-pixel camera, 32 gb of memory, touchscreen like iphone....

  • not everyone wants a camera....most people just want a good phone...

  • It doesnt say no camera it just doesnt have any facts on it as yet.

  • err... no camera??? boring=FACT!

  • i think its a palm pre copy that was made bye samsung, but its cynda cute, gota wait for the full spects though.

  • fifth...its a good phone for kids

  • what this phone where samsung korean ? This made in china? Oh no .only make china is bad

  • THIRD! Okish looking but borring again.

  • 2nd boring

  • 1st. boring as usual!
