I have a really hard time trying to view my pictures.
I look at them one way and turn the camera and suddenly they are the other way and then they start running by like on a race track. I wish they would either stay verticle or horizontal and not change each time I move the camera??

When we had a time change from Standard to Day Light Saving time all of my calendar appointment times were changed automatically!!! Things that were originally scheduled for 1PM were suddenly set at 2PM. I was late to a doctor's appointment and had to manually change every appointment in my calendar. It was an unacceptable outcome and solution. Is there any fix to this? After all if I want to be there at 1PM I want to be there at that time even if the government has changed the time.

this phone is a wreck, well to me. i've been having this phone for over 5months, and its not even 3months n i already had prob with the touch screen. i read about it and people said that its in the software, means its the main prob of this phone.
it won't respond when your preessing something, and when you type too fast in the qwerty, it types a whoole different thing. maybe it have a slow progressing .its pretty impressing at the beginning but when you get the hang of it n after couple of months you'll have the same problem like others. wasn't satisfy at all.

I have had the Samsung Impression for over 7 months and I absolutely hate it! It's a nice phone and all, but my mom and I have the same exact problems and we both have been through 3 of these phones. First off, it doubles letters all the time while I'm texting, and adds random periods and whatnot. My keys freeze up a lot and then the phone freezes up, leaving you to take out the battery. Recently, when I put my battery back in, my screen turns green and I can't use my phone for 3-24 hours. Also, my phone can be sitting on table with nobody touching it and it will just start calling people in my contacts. It won't let me hit the end button to cancel the call either. This is not just me with one defective phone. This has happened THREE times for me and my mom. Ive also had over 5 friends tell me they hate this phone, too. I highly do NOT recommend it.

This really is an incredible phone for the price I paid for it (about $60). Let me first say that I was looking for 3 main things: the phone had to have a QWERTY, a large touchscreen, and be a smartphone. Now while I didn't get a smartphone with this device, I never find myself wishing I had gotten a different phone. There are quite a few apps to choose from including navigation and many games, email and IM (AIM, Yahoo, MSN) features are simple to access and are integrated well, and the web browser is very fast and can view just about any standard webpage including Youtube videos. And considering how cheap this phone can be had for, not to mention I am not paying the $30/month ATT requires to use a smartphone, I think this is a MUCH better value for just about anyone except the most power-user out there. Not to mention none of the smartphones I was looking at had awesome OLED screens!

Pros: Price; fantastic screen (excellent colors, resolution, touch accuracy, size, battery life, and brightness); comfortable and fast QWERTY; excellent call quality/OS/battery life/call quality/Web speed and reception; surprisingly good camera; basic but decent MP3 player.

Cons: OLED leaves something to be desired in direct sunlight; no flash for camera; MP3 player is quite basic

The best thing about this phone is the screen. AMOLED (active matrix organic LED) has extremely vivid, crisp images and deep colors. I have never seen a phone with a more beautiful screen and I've seen many phones. It isn't too great in direct sunlight though. The touch screen feature is very accurate, much more so than older Samsung touchscreens (I was worried about this). The call quality is great, the keyboard is one of the best QWERTYs I've used, very accurate and fast to type on and a nice texture on the keys. The camera is very good but no flash unfortunately, although I've never really found the need to have one. The operating system is very good, simple but it allows customization of pretty much any feature you could want in a non-smartphone. There are a decent number of apps available but nothing like iPhone. It's quite a sturdy phone and a nice design too IMO.

Overall while this phone isn't quite as sexy or revolutionary as say any of the RAZRs or the iPhone, it still is an incredibly competent and functional pseudo-smartphone with a gorgeous screen and plenty of features to keep you occupied. Most important, it's a good PHONE. I would have paid easily twice as much for a device like this. Good job Samsung, a huge improvement over your earlier touchscreen/QWERTY devices.

This absolutley the best phone i've had since well when I got my first phone. This has great keys and for me thats really good because i'm a texter. Great picture quality. Who ever I call they can always hear me well. The screen never ever fails. The thing is that when you first get the phone you'll have to get used to pushing a little bit harder on the screen than the IPHONE for example, but you'll get used to it I guarentee it. Over all I would recommend this phone to anyone who loves to text or even if they dont like to text. Oh and the keys are huge so thats great.

This camera DOES NOT HAVE Flash in the camera.
Also, the GPS is locked to ATT so it is useless to unlock it if you are trying to have a 3rd party gps application
