Samsung Rugby Smart I847 - User Reviews

  • I have so much trouble with this phone I don't know where to begin!!!! I have never been able to get on the internet. I have trouble with its slow moving, at first ok but now extremely slow. battery run out very quickly,can't receive some text messages,it appears to pick and choose what it wants??? will delay and hold messages for 2 days before delivering them to me. unsure of what phone i sure get, i need to get rid of this one I suppose????

  • This is, without a doubt, the worst phone I have ever had the displeasure of being stuck with (issued by employer). Hangs. Shuts down. Changes contacts. Links contacts on it's own. Takea forever to do anything. Worse than 1980's dial up. Won't open most web pages. Always returns b.s. connection issues and troubleshooting suggestions that are flat out inacurate issues. The phone is junk! One day I am going to give in to the insane frustration this piece of junk creates and throw it as hard as I can into a wall. I HATE this phone.

  • It's a fairly capable phone, but the battery seems to drain rather rapidly. Any suggestions on prolonging battery time would be appreciated.

  • Gorilla glass screen

  • i have this mobile and it hangs while playing games like temple run, angry bird. What is the solution of it. Is it because of 512 RAM? Is there any solution of the same?

  • Dear All. I Have This Phone & Unfortunately its screen is broken so any one of can help me to or some have this dead phone to sell so that i can replace the screen of my phone with dead phone or where i can get its screen . i live in karachi a have visited markets but did not find its screen .. plz advise

  • copy failed after samsung galaxy xcover

  • Although an extremely rugged phone platform the phone itself is very slow and will freeze up and even shut down without warning. Battery life is terrible and does not last as long as expected.

  • I am so far unimpressed with this phone. The first one I got would not fully charge after being on the charger over 12 hours. Only charged 1/2 way. Second new replacement phone I still have after 30 days the alarm music tune started playing after boot up and first turn on and there was NO alarm even set. Pushing volume up or down had NO effect. No screen icon even telling that there was an alarm sounding. Removing battery stopped it until battery was reinstalled. Only way could end the sound and the music was to do a complete system restart. Lost all my contacts and everything else as a result. Bad Phone. Not recomended

  • I agree. Had this phone with Cons. Cell and was never so disappointed with a phone in my life. It's a lot of money to pay when you can't call while in your hone. Really? The agent told me you have 4 bars outside your manufactured home and I said yes but there are no bars inside. I said I live in Florida where it rains every day from June to Sept. and mosquitoes are large enough to carry you away and I'm supposed to walk outside everytime I need to make a call or someone calls me. Really? So they are going back.

  • My I847, have error with system. because my fault. now my phone only show samsung on boot. i want to reset with original ROM. Where i can have original ROM and manual how to use that ROM. please help

  • I agree 100%. Very slow, always seems to get frozen...i tried tech support they had me do a few things, but i don't see any improvement. What a waste of $$$$

  • push down and forward then remove

  • is OS upgradable?

  • Yes it is compatible

  • Even though it's gingerbread , can all apps like what's app be downloaded ?

  • Sammy, why not such mobile with dualsim and small size like pocket duos, pocket friendly size for those on the move,

  • Check this out. There is a flash able file to enable tethering. All you have to do it follow directions. Easy as that! If you need help contact motorhead. He is good at helping.

  • Hi All. I have this phone on few days. but, i cannot use portable wifi hot spot. always have message "mobile data is not available or invalid SIM" i am on Indonesia. any one can help me ?

  • Go

  • I have had this Phone for 6 months and it is a piece of crap. It echos even when you check the the noise suppression option. It freezes up and I have to remove the battery to shut it down. Software updates don't fix it our company has 6 of these and they all do this and At&t can't figure out why. DON'T BUY THIS PHONE

  • is it available in saudi arabia?

  • Yes the edges are a little higher I have had this phone since Feb and its now Dec I have dropped it anyway way u can think of and it still runs and looks great. The only problem I have now is the rubber plug that covets the USB port has broken off.

  • This or the Xperia Go? Wich one would you choose?

  • wow i want to have this in Phil

  • When it will be launched in afghanistan

  • Nice xD!

  • really my xperia active is doing v nice and its price is much lower, the only bad thing is small screen and thich cover. plz read more about xperia active

  • where? I thought only the galaxy rugby was available, which is a different phone

  • please launch this mobile in india.,................

  • when it will launch in india want to buy it for my wife............. please tell samsung to launch some dust and water proof mobiles in india....

  • It is available in Canada.

  • why is such a good mobile released only in the US? can't it be made available for the rest of us commoners? I have and use various Samsung mobiles, but need a sturdy mobile cause of my job. Shall i therefore look at other manufacturers to get what i need?

  • approxymate $400

  • US only phone acc0rding to gsmarena.com/samsung_rugby_smart-review-733.php sad truth? Hopefully n0t

  • Hello Mr Samsung, will it be available in Malaysia, especialy in LOWYAT, reply very quick plz or I'm going to take xperia active. I'm a pro fisherman and I'm in need of this mobile urgently to make my show. Thx.

  • is it available in india ???? if yes, than how much the cost is ??

  • AMOLED, HD, replaceable battery...WOW!! please make an international model for other continents too!

  • will this model be available at malaysia

  • Specs need updating: -Samsung website says UMTS Triband 850/1900/2100MHz -DivX/XviD/X264 video support -document viewer/EDITOR

  • Samsung website says UMTS radio is 850/1900/2100MHz

  • Like! Galaxy W on steroids ;-) Anyone know if this would be available in Asia?

  • In Canada, they are selling the GT-S5690M version. It's brown and has been neutered with a 3MP camera and small 320 x 480 screen. Just warning all the Canadians reading the info on this site. Wish we got the I847, I'd buy it if I could.

  • Specs same as Omnia W.....great phone....is it available in India

  • nice phone.. i wanna buy this phone..

  • awesome spec. eventhough this is not what i want, but this fulfill my need. the only thing we should worry is the battery life. i think samsung can improve on it, since size and design doesn't matter for the outdoor lover, bigger battery cappacity would be fine. at least 2 days in the jungle without powerplug.

  • I'm a swimmer, i party hard and I'm very clumsy as well. I had the B2100 n it served me great! To date, best phone I ever had. I have the iPhone 4s for business and had the defy+ for the pool but it's not shock resistant. I just bought this phone. Incredible. Even though it's not high end like the dual core smart phones, it's worth it. The touch is clean, but can scratch so get a film for ir. it's quick, can access flash sites I can't on the iPhone; I mean this is the phone to buy. If you LOVE to party till morning and still find your phone alive, this is for you

  • I am currently in U.S. but I am from Europe.I was having the same problem.Got the phone from Amazon Wireless as it is cheaper than on the official ATT site.The phone comes ATT network locked but you can get it unlocked in couple of hours, using operator network code. In Europe you will get it even faster, as the phone's source code is Samsung based. I am also having the Nexus S....It's basically a Galaxy with a smaller screen.So, no worries, go ahead and buy it, if you like it.You can get it unlocked in your country in 24 hours....

  • zoe.... are u serious?

  • Jabardast...like Sports Smart Phone.....

  • People who loves the outdoor...

  • Does the casing cover the screen in any shape or form? So when it drops the screen doesnt come anywhere near the surface , when the dropping occurs.

  • does it have a fm-radio, i am not clear about that

  • Im hoping it too

  • I agree

  • Will it be available in Europe? And if i buy export from USA, can i use it without AT&T sim? I would love this device!!

  • hope this available in indonesia market

  • I would get this phone if available in the UK.

  • Was, even XT535 is has weaker specs, what makes it disappointing.

  • Moto Defy is king of rugged phones.....LOL to this phone...........

  • This type of handphone is built for tough,mainly for outdoor activities. so, some features should take into consideration, such as standby time,longer standby time is essential,bcos not easy to seek for the power source when go for jungle tracking. better screen resolution(540 x 960 pixels or or more) as well as bigger screen, 4" is nice,8m camera or more, with 10x zoom or more. I am still waiting for this type of handphone.

  • this is a great fone! when will it be available in GCC, specifically in Qatar? or this fone was made for AT & T only?

  • i will buy it if the price is afordable

  • look at upper left

  • badly defy+ doesn't has front facing video camera :( LOL

  • Getting this phone!

  • for me moto defy+ is better than this...lol

  • agree, i still need this...

  • no fm radio.. so sad

  • is this available here in the middle east???

  • Does anyone know when will it be available in the UK? Thanks!

  • How much price of this mobile ?

  • what is the 4g frequency?

  • Will it be available in the UK soon? Thx

  • Could this be upgraded to ICS?

  • It costs 100 dollars(approx)

  • Yes. GSMARENA has indeed corrected the techspecs wrt the 3.5 mm jack. Please check blog link between time 3:57 to 4:02 to confirm the same I AM SOOOOO THRILLED... ELSE THIS WOULD BE ONE OF THE BIGGEST DRAWBACKS IN THE HISTORY OF SAMSUNG PHONES...

  • I suggest you read my two previous comments down there. GSMAreana corrected the spec sheet already that's why you can already read it as YES. my previous comments and that from anonymous on previous days commenting about the audio jack being NOT 3.5mm was because of the mistake by GSMArena. it was previously stated in the spec sheet as NO 3.5mm audio jack.

  • I suggest you read it again.. Because it says here it does support 3.5mm jack.

  • Is it just 512RAM n single core inside??? No FM radio??? *tanggungbanget

  • No 2100 band in the HSDPA means it cannot do 3G here in the Philippines.

  • The hands on preview video shows this smart phone has a 3.5mm audio jack :)

  • single core 1.4GHz

  • What abaut Galaxy S3 Rugby?

  • Looking so nice...any body know how much it is?

  • Samsung is indeed making a joke if it doesn't have a 3.5mm audio jack. i hope it's just a mistake of GSMarena

  • No 3.5mm jack. No Radio. Not for me then. I like listening to the radio. I rather buy samsung galaxy xcover i think. It has these features.

  • how about the procesor????????

  • Oh my god.... Samsung how much phone u have.... This time u relesad 22 phone not phone like smart phone..... Samsung u rock....

  • who the heck would buy this phone only in construction site tho

  • Some people find the body design ugly but this to me is sexy for a rugged Android Phone. I specially like the non-slip back cover design. The only thing that worries me about this smart rugged phone is the battery life.

  • I hope Samsung will release this in the Philippines...

  • Name doesnt suit the looks......

  • Did I just read 3.5mm jack : No??? Are you kidding me?

  • awesome phone by samsung ......the best part of it is its features
