  • Great phone! Have used it over 2 years with minimal problems. Some limitations on the phone have been put in place so it would not be considered a "smartphone" by the carrier (therefore, it is not subject to smartphone plan requirements.) The data here shows there is no 3.5mm audio jack, which is incorrect. I had used my phone as an MP3 player for my car through a standard audio jack for a long time.

  • what is the size of the usb pin for this phone?

  • Is Skype voice can be used in this phone??? I need a feedback ASAP....

  • i think your comment fn sucks. i had it for 3 in a half years its awesome but not keyboard i love it . it never gave me trouble

  • This is the best phone i never had.... I had it for 2 years and i promisse i dint dropped at all. I bought a stilus and a cover, and the paint is great... I just love this phone... This phone did not gave me problems at all... just sold it about 2 months ago cuz i qualified for a 2 year contract..

  • don't buy this phone. camera sucks. no focus. no flash. video capturing SUCKS, especially at concerts, sounds like crap. also no wifi. just don't.. i've been stuck with it for 2 years. can't wait til i can afford a sony ericsson. sony ericsson cameras kick ass.

  • you can check your text while on the phone. just press the side botton above the camera button and select messaging.

  • Well usually when a phone starts to freeze up its because its full in terms of memory so you probably just need to delete a few things from the phone memory. If that doesnt work you can take it to a phone shop and get if cleaned. I that doesnt work you probably need to replace your touch pad and if that doesnt work then i really dont know what will work. I do have this samsung phone and it did started freezing up( really bad)- all i did was to delete a few things and im good as new.

  • you....good...servicse...this is pphone

  • I've had this phone for 1 and 1/2 years and I can tell you that this is the WORST phone I ever owned! Forget that the front scratches easily and if you drop it, it marks up so fast. The problem is that if you drop it, the back cover is so poorly attached that it consistently comes off and the battery drops out. The last time this happened, the battery was banged up slightly from falling out and now my phone jumps around when texting, I can't hear callers on the other line and texting is lagged horribly. Also, if you put your phone on vibrate, you will never hear it or feel it in you pocket. The touch on the texting needs lots of pressure and often results in misspelling, even when using the T9. Bottom line, don't buy this phone. There are plenty out there that are much better than this one.

  • do you have good service with this phone

  • You can text while you are on the phone. If you push the buttons on the side of the phone it comes up with a screen that gives you the option to text

  • I love this phone. It has a great touch screen. I wish it had better apps but thats the only problem.

  • why cant you check your text while on the phone i love the phone but you cant check your text while on the phone

  • why cant u text while on the phone

  • u can change the message tone u have to go into the sound profile settings

  • Personally, I was very excited to get this phone. However, after one year of it-I had to get a different one about 4 months ago, cause the first ones calibration was off and wouldnt correct itself, and there was a bubble on the screen that made it do that. It wasnt because of my fault, but still they (at&t) MADE me pay 50.00 for a new phone. I was ticked, but glad to get another one of the same kind. HOWEVER, the one they sent me was refurbished-which I didnt know until about a month later when I had almost the same problem with the calibration and had to call them. They said I'd have to pay for another one, and I said stuff it, you're not gonna get another penny from me. I have tried to calibrate it, but it doesnt work. So, i'm stuck with another crappy phone from them. I will NEVER tell anyone to get this phone only because of my problems with this one. Next time, I'm going with Sprint or someone else. At&t sucks.

  • Ive owned a Samsung Eternity a867.for almost a year now, Feb.2009. I love it! I'm a Adult, but I'm a Big Kid too, I text 6000 - 7000 texts a month.

  • ive had the phone for a year now and i like it pretty much except thers no speed dial its hard to see in the sun and you cant make it change tones when you recieve a message and the message tone it has isnt loud enough also you cant make you on ringtones but havent had the first problem with it and im rough on it ive dropped it several times but it is in a hard case protector i still like it

  • No you cant change the sceensaver thing when you put it on lock mode..other than that this is a great phone, It has little flaws but it dosen't bother me very much,. I Love it! But I have only replaced this phone once because apprantly mines was a defect..but in other words I would highly recommend getting this phone. :'D

  • This phone is amazing i got it for my birthday, i love how it is so slim and the fast text messeging, i have never had a better phone in my life, my friends wount leave me alown for to seconeds so i can use it for my oun use, if any one is thinking of buying a phone i highly recomend this one!!!

  • It combines sent\recieved txts.... so ur prolly 200\300 200rec+300sent=500total

  • can you set ringtoes for this phone. i have a memory card so would it work in this..

  • Does anyone know how to change the screen saver picture? I can clearly see how to change the wallpaper, but not the screen saver when the phone goes into lock mode.

  • eventhough the memory shows 200 out of 500. the message space may be full bcoz of the inbuilt memory full bcoz of songs or bcoz some memory card virus. also some time bcoz the size of some single msg may be big which occupies more memory. so first check for virus scan.

  • I use Samsung Ethernity for five months. It is really a good experience to use this high rated phone. Main problem is there is no wi-fi in this phone. Bottom line is it is a good phone that I use with AT&T and get it free. Thanks to AT&T.

  • Hows the HSDPA in this phone?

  • This Phone Is Good You Should Just Know how to Live With It.......maybe It Has A Little Flaws.....but Its Good

  • Does anyone know if this phone has a sim-card that you can retrieve deleted text mess. from with the new phone spy reader.

  • yah u need to make the file smaller than the whole music song, try cutting it and making its bitrate lower, it should work.

  • I want this phone so bad you gutz are very lucky to have this phone?

  • I tried to set a music from my memory card as ringtone and surprised to see that there is no option to set ringtone from memory card. Is there any option or alternative you know to resolve this problem.So that i can set my favourite music as ringtones. Thank you.

  • its da best phne iv have ever had but am a mshamba when i charge da phne its already over wats dat i live in kibera its my hometown i love it my phone fell in the sewage n its working forgot to wash it

  • phone sucks, horrible for texting and poor, laggy touchscreen.

  • phone sucks, horrible for texting and poor, laggy touchscreen.

  • THE BEST PHONE I HAVE ERVER HAD and ive had ALOT of phones, the touch screen is great and the excelerometer.

  • This phone sucks compared to the 3 samsung touch screens offered by T-Mobile. This phone looks pretty much like their Behold although the Behold has a 5MP camera and flows a lot nicer

  • Does anyone know why the phone says to delete message in the full inbox for my text messages but when i check my used space its 200/500 therefore its not full, does anyone know why this happens?

  • Does anyone know how to make a call with an access number so you can hear a message? i can't seem to get the key board back once i make the call to submit the access code.

  • I love everything about this phone except for one thing.....the screen freezing. I have replaced the phone twice. The phone will freeze when someone tries to call me or if I am trying to access my contacts or menu button. I can understand if were to happen a few times a month, but not 3 or 4 times a day!!! If the screen didn't freeze so much I would keep the phone, but it has become a hassel so now I am looking for a new phone.

  • I Like this phone its cool the sound is good. I drop phone on the floor but the calibration doesn't work? and when u text some of the letters doesn't work?

  • this phone has the lowest SAR level!

  • How visible is the screen outdoors in sunlight?

  • Is there any size limitations on the memory cards?

  • Is there any size limitations on the memory cards?

  • I'll like to buy that A867 Eternity ,So anybody tell me is it a good one or not? Now I'm using SGH D500 for over 3 years. I'm going to buy one new, please anybody suggest me that A867 is good or any other one. THX

  • i like it... really nice phone.. works great.. very funtional

  • correction.... the computer would not actually read the mass storage or memory card, rather it would be reading the modem memory or the phone memory but if you would like your memory card to read you'll need to set your usb settings correct ok.....go to the settings find the usb settings then set it "mass storage" that's the way to access your memory card without using the pc suite

  • yes but if it is openlined....may i ask were you got your phone????

  • there is a option at the settings that say's reset try clicking it and enter the code.... usually the code is preset to 000000 or six 0's

  • Yes. My phone kept freezing after taking a picture. After reading your post I experimented and indeed when I took the card out, no problems!

  • how do i hard reset the eternity?

  • maybe it,s a factory defect try returning it to your dealer ther,s no solution for that you can never lock or disable the touch features becaus if you do, the phone would be just useless

  • you can lock your phone cauz i just did it to my moms phone usually you can find the option for lock in the security option located at the settings......

  • Yes you can. You go into the individual person's contact info and edit. tap add more fields, check message tone and then pick which tone you want it to ring when that person sends you a message.

  • its a messed up phone, i just got mine less than 4wks now and the touch function aint working abi, is there any solution to it

  • Can you lock the phone? As in put a code on the text messages and other functions so nosy friends cant get to them?

  • i've had this phone about 5 months and i'm ready for a different one. there's nothing really special about it. the camera bugs me. no flash or even a focus. bleh. &no wifi. which sucks when you don't live in a 3g area. if you have to get this phone, get a screen protector for it, cause if you drop it outside, dents &scratches are pretty unavoidable..

  • hey guys i'm new to all this phone business so is this phone a world phone? like if i was to take this phone to asia would it work over there?

  • Very nice phone, however the MP3 ringtone only support MP3 files up to 300kb .. other than that .. its a good phone ..

  • no wlan :((

  • i have this phone and its great, the battery life: 4 days in normal "use"...

  • Any ideal how is the battery life for this model??

  • does eternity works only with mp3 ringtones? or does it take .mmf files also?

  • You would have to have it unlocked by the phone carrier in order for the phone to work overseas with another carriers sim card.

  • Hey guys xan u tell me that if this sim card is removed can other country's simcard will response .. in this phone.. i hav this in NY but i m afraid if i take it to another country will it run or not .. plz reply

  • Has anyone tried to tether this as a modem yet... It says you can do it everywhere, but with the samsung modem driver and pc studio download i keep getting a 'no dial tone' error.... any help here???

  • They look the ssame on the outside but underneath the Omnia has the edge. consider the Eternity the base model.

  • I think you'll need an memory card loaded in the phone. Your PC will sync w/card & show remaining space. then u can add your tunes.

  • Yes,yes, and yes.

  • No. I have an 8G card and it's working great so far. Phone can only accomadate an 8, anything higher wont work.

  • W/plan around $150.00, W/O plan about $300.00.

  • does it have Wi-Fi???

  • I Like That Phone Its Smart But On This Site It Wont Telll You The Price!!!:(

  • is there a unlock version?

  • By writing pad do you mean can you draw pictures? No, however it does have handwriting recognition which is great but no reviews seem to mention it, but it does and it works I've done it.

  • No wifi...which is really sad

  • nop, dont have wifi, but it has 3g... and its a really nice phone..

  • no

  • Does the Eternity have a drawing pad?

  • Its Only A 2 Gigs. Its Work For A Few Min. Then When It Locks Up It Wont Turn On Again It Complete Freezes And I Have To Reset It.

  • Hello, I traded my quickrie in cause I got recalled and it sucked. The screen barely worked. But the etnerity is amazing, best ever

  • love this phone. its so beast

  • no i havent, how many gigs is yours? mine is 1gb

  • Has Anyone Els Had A Problem With It Freezing Up WHen You Put Micro SD Card In IT?

  • Hi, can I lock this phone where it will prompt for a pin code besides turning the phone off?

  • So, does this phone have Wi-fi????

  • dayum this phone is sexii hahaha lol. i really like this phone.i have a question tho,wen yu touch tha screen does it vibrate? and can yu take tha vibration off?? if yu listeing to music n yu get a txt message will it stop ur music frm playin & can yu like some how minimize tha music to read it n reply because i hve tha at&t quickfire n i liked it at first buh tha touch screen sucks after a while,...i jus had another one shipped to me but they shipped me a dam refurbished phone and ofcourse it doesnt work..n it keeps shutting off so i hope i can get this one... im gunna miss mi full keyboard tho :( buh yea answer mi questionsss :) ahahaha

  • I had a Samsung i900 Omnia for about 2 months. Then it bricked when i tried to hard reset it. It became useless and since it was bought on internet and officially not a US version i sent it to Korea for repair. Another month and a half-no news. So no more Samsung for me. Then i did the research and bought myself a SE Experia X1. What a difference folks. The screen is more responsive, extra keyboard, much better feel and finish, hard ware buttons glow in the dark, better resolution of the screen, doesn`t freeze up as much, better sound, ...and it`s made by HTC. So folks do yourselves a favor, get SE or HTC and be happy. There will be no more wasted time and money on rubbish like Samsung or Nokia. Nokia used to be good 5 years ago. No they simply fail to keep uo with technology, and they are completely not user friendly. My N82 died on me after less than a year of use. I re-installed a firmware, it didn`t work out. What a waste. That was just my humble opinion. Please no offense or aggravation taken. Cheers, Val.

  • I've had the eternity for a month or two now and i really like it, but being stupid i type a lot of weird words and save them so when i type yeah, it comes up as weah or it is ht, in is hm, a lot of this stuff is just annoying. does anyone know how to edit the dictionary or the words you save?

  • bro sorry bad what i mean is if the mtv music can be assign as a ringtone? and bro hope you can help on this which is good samsung a867 or nokia 5800 or the lg kb770? tnx in advance bro

  • No, this phone does not have a special video call camera on the front, although you can use the original 3 mega pixel camera, on the back, for video share. And no, you can only set message tones with songs up to 300kb, which is usually around 18-20 seconds.

  • bro does this phone have the video call camera and does your full mp3 music can be ur message tone too reply

  • To change you're message tone alert: Menu> Settings> Sound Profile> (choose which profile you want to change the message tone on; Normal, Silent, Driving, or Outdoor) (In the top right corner, under the time where it should say call, click the arrow and select message) There you are :)

  • I don't think you can set specific message tones for each contact. ?? :-/ sorry. However, you can do so with ringtones, for if someone is calling. You can also choose a specific vibration pattern for a person (5 options)

  • Yes, you can fast forward music and all the regular.. Texting is good. The phone T9 dictionary will correct pretty much any mistakes you make, even in landscape keyboard mode, but you can turn the T9 off.. The handwriting recognition is also fun, but a little slow..

  • Yes you can. The only thing that turns off the music is when you enter the camera or TV, and once you exit, it resumes. Also, when playing a song and then exiting to the home screen, the music player widget remains on the home screen and continues playing your music. You can then even hide the music player by putting it back in the widget menu bar and it will STILL continue playing! To stop the music entirely, just push the red button (hang up/power) while at the home scree, or just pause it :)

  • can u fas-forward in the music player and how is the texting.

  • This might sound silly but I had to put the memory card into my magellen nav system. Then downloaded from computer to magellen ttook mem card out and put it in phone and the head phone jack lets me plug into port speakers good luck

  • When you are listening to music, can you minimiz the application and go do another thing?

  • You have to have a memory card. They aren't all that expensive though.

  • Anybody know how to sideload songs onto this phone when I plug the usb cord into the PC it says found new hardware but does not allow to drag and drop other wise i love this phone also to scroll address book just hit the side up down buttons it scrolls every page traded from the quickfire hated it

  • Fellas, this phon is a waste of money, the Camera'z not strong enuf, and the speed is pathetic. to browse thru the different menu options is so not-user-friendly

  • i too traded in my incite for the eternity. the incite is a terrible phone, bad voice qualities, touchscreen, and low RAM (meaning hella slow phone).

  • From the main menu go to Settings From here click on phone Now click on Vibration Feedback Change the intensity to 0.

  • DUDE,just wanna ask sumthing.Can i hav my own alert messages,but...separately for different contact number?

  • 300.00

  • umm yes i was just wondering how to clear off the vibraion on the eternity?

  • Hi. Can you set your own text alert tone?? Can you save messages to memory card pls ??

  • this fone looks great...but looking through the phone book. is horrible. it doesn't slide when u want it to with ur fingers.... 3MP sounds great too but not really... it takes blurry pix. especially on flourescent light... the back cover comes off easily. meaning if you drop it, it will come off

  • how does this phone compare with the Lg Cu915/ 920?

  • can someone tell me thye price of this phone>>>???? or the rate of the prices... please???

  • mjoe, the Eternity is an awesome phone. I doubt you'll be able to figure it out based on your comment though.

  • It's better to buy made in China than US. US support Israel war in Palestine.

  • what is the problem with you? If it make in China, you won't buy it? Come on!! Go out look around, and look on the shell in the store, HOW MANY STUFF IS NOT MAKE IN CHINA. LET FACE IT.

  • How can I change the messaging alert tone on the eternity? I still can't figure it out.

  • it probably is a "made in china" phone. nearly every consumer electronic device you buy is "made in china"

  • No matter hw good the feature/or wadever else you guyz think y this phone is good, i'm not gonna get this phone coz its ugly. and really , look, the at&t logo at the top of the phone makes it looked like a fake, Made-in-china phone...

  • Actually, Samsung has a D880, dual sim card phone, quite cool too.

  • Try D980.

  • this fone is so asome i trade mi crapy incite and got this i love it very sesitive touch screen and outstanding batery life i love it the only thing is samsung should have put auto focus because mi old samsung d900 beat this fones camra any day because the pic come out very blurry if ur not completely still

  • Why? The Why Fi Is Not Enabel

  • It will be important to have a stylus as that will help CEO's and the likes of us to jot down notes in our own handwriting.... we still use sharpened pencils you see.

  • samsung should continue to come out with such high spex devices but i recommend samsung to design hansets that have the capacity to take at least two sim card for customer satisfaction.

  • I only feel that at this stage of phone usage, more hi-tech Samsung phones should be produce to accommodate two(2) or three(3) sim cards so that consumer can REALLY have value for money! Those two types of dual sim cards friendly(D880 and D780) are virtually limited in circulation.

  • This phone is better than the BEHOLD , the 3g protocol this phone uses HSDPA 850 / 1900 is faster than the behold�s UMTS 1700 (older version),HSDPA is blazing fast, eternity�s camera has no flash but I'm not really into taking pictures with my phone specially at night, i think this phone is a good choice for Iphone haters like me.

  • AT&T is going to short the OS into only Symbian. I hope SAMSUNG will manufactured phone working on Symbian 9.4 5th edition as well.

  • this phone is awesome!!!

  • You are better off getting and unlocking a Samsung t919 Behold, better features. It says an 8GB sd card is the highest but it's actually 16GB.

  • ...And please... DONT compare it with OMNIA... its silly! OMNIA its uncomparable, plus, its not WindowsMobile Phone!!!

  • it seems nice... but..(!)it seems to be a cheap version of Pixon(M8800)

  • This phone is awesome!

  • this is a god fone , because it have all be people search, but should have more pixels and diferents colors for the diferent people and ages.

  • I have this phone on ATT and I only pay $15 for unlimited internet. I love the poormans Omnia! Check you facts John.

  • lg kg 195 is the most bledy hand set in the world

  • i had the quickfire for 3 days and it stinks so i got this is so much better and it has a great touchscreen

  • Varizon's Omnia is actually the original windows Omnia. This is not windows mobile. AT&T supposed to released Omnia but I guess they dropped the idea as they released 'Eternity' with identical look.

  • I've had this phone for about a week now and I have to say. I'm actually quite impressed by it. There are a few things that bug me, for example: I sent a ringtone that was only 21 seconds, but I couldn't set it because it was too high of a quality -___-, everytime someone calls me the ringtone fades in which is quite annoying to me, and especially the vibration on the phone. Besides all that it is an awesome phone.

  • is this Verizon's yet to come Omnia? I know this one is for at&t and Verizon showed me the "omnia" So Im guessing they're the same phones they looked exactly the same.

  • The screen does turn when you turn it. It does have the full qwerty keyboard. It's a pretty cool phone!

  • Hi to all..this eternity is really rocking except some missing features,e.g.,wifi and flash. I ordered LG Vu but it was a crap and I returned it immediately. I ordered for Eternity instead! It really rocks! Bye to Vu and possibly iPhone if Samsung will continue to develop phones like Eternity and Omnia.

  • Um, did you hit your head while falling down the Apple tree? Might I remind you that Apple released two iPhones. Yes, two.

  • @annon - "How many Omnias does Samsung have to make? Lol. Apple does not have to make 10 iphones, only firmware updates.." Um, did you hit your head while falling down the Apple tree? Might I remind you that Apple released two iPhones. Yes, two.

  • it does have an accelerator and properly/quickly changes to qwerty mode

  • I ordered this phone and received it last week. Its easily one of the best phones I've ever used, and I've tried a LOT of phones before I settled on this one. The interface is very easy to learn and its got one of the best resistive screens I've encountered. My only gripe is that the phone's ringer seems stuck on ascending, even when you don't want it to be, though from what I've seen online, its an issue with a number of Samsung phones. All in all, I highly recommend it.

  • I take it this doesn't have the "accelerator" feature so can't do a qwerty keyboard. If it would be the perfect midrange phone.

  • Does anyone who owns this phone please share your thought about camera feature? What I care on the phone are nice screen and picture and video quality. I tried to find detailed spec on samsung and att website but no luck. Thx a lot

  • this isnt a poor mans omnia. it is a mid range touch phone for people who dont need a smart phone. it is exactly like the f480 which they offer at t-mobile. this phone isnt a smart phone and will never be a smart phone. this is for people who want a touch phine that dont want to shell out the money for an iphone or a touch pro. if you want an omnia that bad switch to verizon and get one from them. if not this phone is brilliant. i messed with one at the att store and it worked like a charm. the only times i missed buttos were cause i didnt push them. when you hit the right spot it works every time.

  • Don't blame Samsung for the huge let down that is the lack of WLAN on this phone. It has ATT logo written all over it, trying to force their outrageously expensive data plans down users throats. Cut the WLAN on a smartphone and it is so badly crippled that once you buy it you will be force to get the data plan and triple your monthly bill in the process. You cheap out on the phone and then you pay ten times the full price over the length of the 2 years contract. So, don't get this poor man's Omnia, but get a real Omnia on the ebay or elsewhere and screw ATT ripoffs.

  • WoW another touch phone? STILL NO WIFI?! zomg samsung is a letdown...

  • poor mans omnia, not bad

  • had this phone for about 2 weeks, best phone ive ever owned. the OS is blazing fast, no waiting for menus to load or anything like that. it has a standard size headphone jack, so no adapters to buy. texting is alot easier than the iphone because of the bigger buttons on screen. I purchased the HTC fuze, and like every other windows mobile phone ive owned, it made me want to throw it at a wall. returned that after only 2 days and got this phone. best decision i ever made.

  • Nobody is loosing it to iPhone. Get your facts straight. This is not OMNIA. Omnia is suppoed to be realeased on AT&T later. It's not windows, just touchwiz. And finally this is what AT&T asked for from samsung. It's not for international market. Unlike Apple Samsung is not a one product wonder. They have different models to cater different segment.

  • No wifi VERY POOR screen resolution ( Poor UI base on Windows mobile... Pathetic phone for trendy morons

  • How many Omnias does Samsung have to make? Lol. This is where they lose big time with the iphone. Apple does not have to make 10 iphones, only firmware updates. That way you can keep your existing iphone and just improve from it as updates become available.

  • How you gona use the gps if there is no os? Useless phone according to me.

  • in response to your query; WLAN or WIFI isn't really important at all. for one you have to be in an area or abode where you can access password free wifi to get the internet. So its pretty dam limiting. whereas for a few bucks you can use 3g to get internet virtually anywhere in metropolitan areas making it actually useful in day to day scenarios. WiFi's pretty old school and void if u have 3g access on your phone. hope that helps.

  • wonderful hype

  • i agree. its already avalible for att already!

  • just picked one up and love it! one of the best and most accurate screenS i've used to date. not up to par with the iphone, but what really is? internet experience is great and t9 is superb. posting this quick review from my eternity actually. thought haptic feedback was just a gimmick but it's actually really helpful. the att tv is amazing and youtube connections are near instant with minimal buffering. headphone jack is one of my favorites but the volume has only seven levels..sort of a let down but the music player is very ipod touch and supports album art. speaker is pretty decent, very acceptable for casual listening. bluetooth is blazingly fast, hitting nearly 140k in my nonscientific tests. transfers 4mb in just under 30 seconds. not a fan of the small, skinny, and seemingly delicate charger connection. connections via the pc suite are seamless and very easy to setup. camera has photo and video mode with tons of customization options. biggest nag on my end is the third party java app nag screen when the program wishes to Access the net. especially annoying with gmail when i'm trying to delete unwanted emails. besides that, i don't have many cons with this simply amazing device. if you are second guessing your decision, don't! go purchase one now!

  • this is for att only guys. free on wirefly w/ 2 year contract. i almost ordered it but not even FM radio??? U.S versions of all phones suck.

  • Samsung is producing way too many touchscreen phones. They all share pretty much the same features, so I don't know why they are doing this. It's an overkill.

  • WLAN = No?? hmm strange.

  • I have had the Blackjack, Moto Q9h, Tilt(Kaiser), LG VU, iPhone 3g and now the Eternity in the last year. This phone beats them all hands down. The UI is incredibly fast and it plays my MP4 videos flawlessly. I could care less about Wifi. I never used it once on the Tilt and only a couple times with the iPhone because the app store forced me to. If I have WiFi access I'm going to use my laptop not my phone. There is no comparison to the iPhone when it comes to text messaging. This phone is the best texting phone I have ever used. The onscreen keyboard is as good as it gets without a physical keyboard IMO. Also, you can easily get your Outlook contacts in the phone by using the Phone Editor in PC Suite. Just import your Outlook info into Phone Editor and copy from there to the phone. The BT in the phone is mint. It even asks when you disconnect A2DP if you want to continue listening on the phone speaker or not. There are so many little touches like this that make this phone a pleasure to use.

  • What an utterly pointless piece of kit. Half the spec of the Omnia, OK probably half the price but you get what you pay for. Retrograde step here.

  • who cares if it doesnt have wifi. all the places where you would pick up wifi you would more then likely have a computer and you would have 3g in those places so you wouldnt need wifi anyways. this is the most BA phone ATT has ever come out with in feb this phone s mine.

  • This looks like Samsung's answer to the LG Cookie - with the advantage of 3G - I wouldn't therefore be surprised that it'd be available at launch on both contract and payg - w the latter at some mid-range price of �100-150.

  • where's the rest of the memory info, is it safe to assume that the processor is the same as the omnia, or something newer for a phone that looks like omnia's little brother?

  • what does WLAN do for the phone anyway...why is it so important...is 3g the same thing...someone please guide me before I purchase this phone.

  • I would consider it if it had WiFi. No WiFi, no way.

  • I agree with you! for a no wlan phone, the F480 definitely beats this phone

  • what is ATT? wow!!

  • no wifi? the homescreen reminds me of the Sidebar of Windows. I'll stick with my Epix which is more business oriented AND has WiFi

  • Why does it still say coming soon when this phone is apparently out already? Heard it was nice though.

  • 'tis nice

  • this phone is hot it has crazy fast internet and whole bunch of hot features

  • I just got this phone!! if you want full-touch multimedia phone not smart phone, this phone will be great choice for you.

  • This is a scaled down version of the Omnia. U seds the Omnia for a few months and didn't like it cause it wasn't 3G. This is a good phone though. What's the big deal if WIFI is missing? the only way ur gonna use it is if ur somewhere getting it free. you gonna have internet service anyway...use that.

  • They would have to pay me to have a phone like this.... Its like dated tech...

  • uhh... larger screen than my samsung f480 BUT very slow 3G, and 3.15MP vs. f480's 5MP....

  • Looks like an awesome cheaper version of the Omnia. TouchWiz is cool, and seems like the screen on this would be ownage for watching vids.

  • AT&T is one of few GSM providers in the USA

  • what is AT&T??

  • First! Yay

  • No wireless. No thanks. Sounds over priced too. I still wait for the nokia 5800 :)

  • Just for info this phone is already available on Sn traders Online $400 USD

  • This mobile phone is SUPER!!!

  • e muito show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! esse hs.

  • Omnia was supposed to be released on AT&T. I hope they do so in early 2009. At present they have HTC Fuze. I doubt AT&T will release another windows mobile i.e. Omnia right now. Lets see.

  • what ur talking about..is there is a new omnia or u mean in that store

  • No WLAN ??!! No tk's

  • Nice phone..

  • what happened to Omnia AT&T??? I was waiting to see Omnia released instead. This is more or less F490/Instinct. AT&T already released HTC touch pro/Fuze. In that case is there any chance of Omnia getting released? I doubt. Anyone has any clue?

  • 2nd!!!!!!!

  • nice!
