Samsung i637 Jack

Blackberry Fan Ed

I acquired this rare phone as a backup for fun recently. Due to age, it is basically a feature phone now; good luck finding a Win6 Mobile app that still works with this phone. For calls, it is fine. Battery life is great, for days. Text messages are not threaded, though. I never got emails to work correctly with this phone. The keyboard is functional but stiff. It may look like a Blackberry, but the Jack is no Blackberry. Most functions are menu-driven (slowly), which can be a bit of a shock for modern smartphone users used to icons and touchscreens. I think the HTC Touch Pro, using a stylus, handles Win6 Mobile better; but good luck finding that rare, premium phone, too. I would not recommend this Samsung phone as a daily phone due to its age and limitations, but as a backup, it should do just fine. Oh, and keep in mind the charger cable is proprietary; your android cable will NOT work!

Been thru BJ1,BJ2 and now The Jack. I use it to the max and can do everything I need it to do music pix,internet email whatever . Never had a hiccup always booted never had signal problems. Battery lasts super duper long time at least 3 days min if not 4 between charges with regular use of texting 20-30 messages a day and talking 15-20 mins a day. Been thru alot with this phone. Screw those stupid droids , I went to motorola backflip and I would go thru 2-3 batteries a day where the jack would go 3-4 days with 1 charge so I promptly switched back. My backflip is in the cabinet with my 6 spare batteries probably never to be used again. Can get on WI-FI at home and jam on the internet. But hey thats me I am loyal and stick with something and pone the software and function and there is not alot of fluff and battery draining useless garbage . Straight Forward and simple to use and can still do everything an average person who isnt a geek needs it to do.

callecents.com

I cant tell u for sure but Windows Mobile 6.5 has a lockscreen and you can possibly set a pic for the lockscreen which will serve as your screensaver, if it is not possible with your current ROM, you can get a custom version at XDAdevelopers.com or ppcgeeks.com

Does anyone know if I buy a memory card, will the SGH I 637 Jack be able to download my music from Itunes Library? I know I can't download purchased music from I tunes, but I was told I could download music I installed from my own cd's. I have a Mac Mini computer.

Do you have bluetooth in your car? If so, does your I637 Jack access your contact list from your phone? If you ask it to call a specific person from your contacts, does it dial that number automatically?

does this phone save your sent SMS automatically? my last samsung did not do this unless you specifically clicked 'save and send'. it was quite annoying, and i do not want to go through it again. please respond.

Get the I637 if you buy the BB they will add a 3 month obligatory trial of the internet service and some of the functions of the BB are purely with the internet besides I637 actually sells like tons at the costumer service in any mexican phone company especially that BLUE ONE that we know see ya hope this helps

I just ordered this phone. I have yet to get it, but it sounds like a good phone. Pricewise, i got it for $79.99 after 100 mail in rebate. But I had to work to get it at that price from at&t. So good luck to whomever is looking for it! Also, I am sure that it can be hacked, so maybe it can be used with any carrier that uses a sim chip? I am not 100% sure, but that seems like that would be the case, once hacked.

Yes, there is a separate 1/8" stereo headphone adapter that plugs into the same slot on the phone that the USB cord and power cord plug into.

Jacky

Now theres a price in ebay its about 270$. Its not an expensive phone in comparison with its features and specifications. I bought it and i love it.Be carefull charge the 2 first times 12 hours with the phone switched off and when the battery is fully empty. Enjoy my friends.

hey. how much it cost? price please...

Can you plug in a 1/8" stereo headphones to listen to the music ??

why gsm arena havent make a review about this phone? they are too busy thinking about touchscreeeens? or phones that are still in process?? I have this phone and i THINK IS VERY GOOD main disadvantages are no flash, no radio but if you dont use it the jack is very fun and very well designed.. i need to hack it as I done with my n95 to install lots of apps.. some advises????

Hmm, but I thought BB had cameras too! Bold, Storm, Pearl, Curve, just to name a few

Yep. 3.5mm jack comes with the phone.

Will Fido or Rogers carry this phone in Canada? Or will their be a unbranded version? If anyone has any idea, please give me some info.

It's not a business phone because it has a camera. The big corps don't allow phones with cams so the platform will never compete with Blackberry. When MS figures this out is anyone's guess.

rajdxb

Does anyone got any idea when Samsung is launching this phone with a touch screen also. That will really help Samsung to boost the sales.

when is the availability date here in the philippines? how much will it cost?

i read people saying that this phone is ugly and rubbish etc, I have 4 days with it, and Im really impress with features, smartphone, wifi, 3,2 mpix, for half the price of nokia e71 !! and 1/3 the iphone(crap) yes is true is doenst have flash, and the wifi is hard to use, but is a pocket pc, very fun, I used to have a n95 and this is more fun, the battery last to me 3 days and heavy use and its getting better,I JUST want to change the 3g to normal cause there are charges when i CONNECT accidentally to internet, there are no other phone with this features for that low price, so dont talk trash if you doenst know ;)

if Samsung intends to dethrone Nokia as the next Blackberry killer, then it has wandered in the wrong direction, Leave alone i637 beating the E72, it cannot even match the E71's class, refining and sophistication....

welcome to the WinMo world my friend. Any phone with a WinMo UI is limited to only 65K colours res. even if it may support upto 16 million colours....

Kiansson

Because unfortunately "Windows Mobile" not support more colors than 65k and if the manufacturer include more colors it's inanity & so funny!!

if the price is cheaper than E71..i'll consider it. too shame doesn't have secondary camera for video call

This is a phone that is defiently worth the buy. I just returned my second Nokia E71x and this by far blows that thing out of the water. I have excellent call quality and no dropped calls and not to mention not a wiped out memory card. I did not format the memory card or do a phone update on the Nokia that just what sank the ship on the Nokia. I think it was poorley made and a rushed model..be careful for that phone. But most defiently I'd recommend the Samsung I637 any day its well worth your money. THis for one is no demo! May look similer but run's way diffrent. Windows 6.1 is so much better then Sambian anyday!

Why does not Samsung release Business phone worldwide other than AT&T? Like i637 Jack! This kind of Handset should be release worldwide.

THE PHONE IS A US HANDSET!!! to non-us posters, the phone is only good for at&t, it can be unlock but for sure the features of the phone is not complete, when it is unlock

Right because BB's invented the rear facing camera..... Oh wait my BJ2 has a rear facing camera.. Oh snap so did my BJ1. No kidding its going to look similar to a BBerry. Its the standard smartphone layout.

Who cares if it's a copy or not??? It's all about bringing to market the things people want...and this phone gives an WinMo Std user EVERYTHING! It's a MUCH better form-factor and camera than the BB Bold....and it's not a "kind of" supported platform like the Nokia. Kudos to Samsung for this little gem!

Overall this phone is better than any other. Who cares if it looks like other phones. Samsung made a phone that cost less than all the others also has more features and actualy use a 3.5mm jack. By the way Blackberry and Nokia has there own operating OS. The OS does not make it any better. It is just the opinion of the person that likes that OS.
