Samsung i637 Jack - User Reviews

  • 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!

  • 1st phone I got. phone's great (at that time) hahahah! but it served me good

  • Got one for christmas for 1 cent a few years ago. was a great phone. still feels ok but really small compared to my other phone. lol

  • phone locked up on me i forgot password.can anyone help me please

  • not available in the market

  • does anyone know how to put Android running from haret from the sd card, just like htc hd2 did on xda? i found out that motorola i886 comes with non touch screen android, has anyone ported that & with the correct drivers to the samsung jack i637 yet??

  • Hey guys, I am using this phone in liberia but I cannot connect to any of the GPRS services even with the support of the service provider, can you help me fix this problem. secondly I dont know what's really the matter that the device is not recognizing ant sd card for data storage except in the device memnor which is filled. some body please come to my rescue before I throw it in this device in the sea

  • please help me activate my GPRS settings in Philippines? i have the settings but everytime i search mobile web.. java encountered termination appear..

  • the phone is just too slow sometimes it hangs i really regret why i ddnt get a nokia

  • 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.

  • blackberry have nothing on this samsung have murdered the berry

  • Hi I have just got one but I cannot listed to music, don`t know whats wrong with it,I know I have to see the provider but I would like to try everything before that, any suggestions?

  • Samsung's better if you have 3g coverage.

  • LG GW550 in another side .please check... Winmo 6.5

  • ease of use, prob BB

  • samsung is def a good brand. however that said mostly its ur choice in terms of the os. OS wise winmo is better off in terms of expandability and functionality.

  • which is easier to use, ive owned a bb 8120, reading thespecs samsung is a better option, but depending on the brand bb is better right?

  • diff os's, almost same features. some pref winmo and some BB. Its ur choice basically, which OS.

  • blackberry 8520 vs samsung i637? please help, in mexico they cost the same...... HELP ME CHOOSE????????

  • Linda, The manual is available for download. The link is Save it and you will have your own copy of the manual. It is a PDF file.

  • 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.

  • My son gave us this phone and we don't know how to use it, does anyone have a book that we can look at and then return back. Thank You, Linda

  • My son gave us this phone and we don't know how to use it, does anyone have a book that we can look at and then return back. Thank You, Linda

  • the phone is the best of samsung

  • that looks great but does anyone know about regional availabilities of i637? is it just for u.s?

  • att website. google for it.

  • this its a nice fone i like it. its bery nice phone i love it so dont talk bad about it

  • Does any one knows where can i get the full phone operation guide?

  • Has anyone tried to check by installing a FM radio app. The non att version features a fm radio. anyone?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • this was released as a "messenger" phone here in mexico, hope donts get issues with the OS as every windows :/

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • nope it does not.

  • 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 ;)

  • Harganya ? ? Kalo Di Rupiahkan

  • thats this phone have 3.5mm jack ????

  • Is this a business phone?? O.o I really think its nice and manufactured perfectly... I just wonder if it would be a sensable purchase for a normal person usuing it not for business... Any awnsers highly appriciated :)

  • American Telephone & Telegraph

  • what is at & t means??

  • 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....

  • 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

  • Can anyone tell me why 65k colors displ?

  • cuando llega a chihuahua

  • Nokia's quality is not outstanding... i returned a N75, N81 and N85 in the past year 2008!!!

  • Kris, how come you returned 2 E71s? That phone is superb and there's no way this sammy is better.

  • enshalla will remain enshalla no matter how ever educated or latest mobile they use

  • your looks pretty good, id do it

  • jack? what jack?

  • 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

  • For sure I'll buy it enshalla :)

  • Use your fingers not your teeth and when you comment, use your head not your dick.

  • I like this phone. I want to buy it. when is it coming out in the market here in Indonesia?

  • When this model produce for Indonesian Market ? Because I am interested of it.

  • key was falling off after a couple of days...????...what kind of phone user are you? nothing is that cheaply made from samsung.

  • Samsung Jack hands-on video review:

  • Wannabe BB curve?

  • i think this phone is lost in samsung it should be in BlackBerry like wtf???

  • bb competitor...

  • it's look like BB's

  • where i can buy this one ? i'm at indonesia ? who knows the price ?? thx

  • do they do this in black?

  • i637 jack - off

  • Yeah , sure ;)

  • bought the phone and the key were falling of after a couple of days; Samsung quality is really very bad; I will go back to RIM or Nokia.

  • do you know if this phone can work with bb enterprise - can i get mail the same way as i get it on my bb?

  • 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!

  • i think im gonna love this phone

  • 624Mhz, 512ROM, No FM Radio, No front Camera

  • samsung jackberry?

  • It looks like the Moto Q9, however the samsung has better specifications than the Moto

  • it's trully a blackberry copy from the looks down to the specs but I think it's AT&T who should be blamed for it. it's for the american market, no body is gonna buy that phone in asia.

  • no video call... what!!

  • Samsung i637 's design is same Bold Blackberry .... I don't know Samsung ....

  • wow !! what a phone samsung rocks

  • i hate it when carriers rename phones- Fido in canada carries the samsung BlackJack2 but they've named it the Jack, and now this is out...

  • I mean e71

  • looks like a rip of nokia n73 and blackberry

  • Its a big step forward from Samsung ;) but its nothing compared to Nokia :P

  • omg you guys are right it's a copyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

  • its the copy from motorola q11

  • 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.

  • Nokia, blackberry..... poor Samsung. I am sure you can do much better as making (bad)coppies

  • Samsung should really team up with a good manufacturer for battery that can stand continuous usage.

  • OMG It is a copy from Blackberry bold specially from the back "the camera design" and look at the keyboard it is also the same What are they doing ??

  • same spec with i780. Is it touch screen?

  • coooooool!! i luv this phone

  • Nokia e71 ripped off!

  • Good i love this phone .smart phone and nice phone +windows mobile and full kyboard +3mp and 528 mhz cup

  • this fone is no good y do they not have 5mp in stead of 3.15

  • Yes, =)) you are right bro, this pjone is UGLY!!!

  • As i said before, samsung is making toys for children, not phones for consumer!

  • HA HA HA!!! they coppied the design from the NOKIA and only 3.15 mega pixels NO Led Flash, NO! Autofoucs, NO! Xenon Flas!!!... how will samsung win if thier new phones lcak many features... ha ha ha

  • Not bad for them who likes windowsMobile. Is better than A177.

  • oh really i dont think it so

  • Ha ha... Samsung go on making useless and rubbish phones.

  • Nah! There were other posts with corrections to the specs but they were removed once the specs were corrected. Anyway as I said before according to Samsung this phone can be upgraded to Windows mobile 6.5:
