Samsung Impression (a877) is a fantastic messaging phone. It has a full slide out keyboard perfect for people who have a hard time with a standard phone's numeric pad. In text message mode, this phone has 4 different ways to write. (1) Slide out keyboard (2) Virtual keyboard (3) Virtual numeric pad (4) Handwriting mode. Calling quality is very good (4/5) I'm able to talk to the other person without repetition and vice versa. The 3.0 mega pixel camera is nice and the editing features are fun to mess with. There's a Wiget bar on the left side of the screen that has GPS, Internet Shortcut, Favorites, Favorite Contacts, Music Player, Bluetooth, and etc. Very handy for people who use that kind of stuff.
The Impression also is the first phone to be launched in the US with an AMOLED screen. It shows more vibrate colors in your pictures and has a brighter screen than most cell phones. The colors are truely remarkable. It's almost like looking at a National Geographic Magazine.
Battery life is okay (3/5). The battery life lasts about 2-3 days for me. However, battery life differs with each phone. I've heard that one charge can last up for a week for other people.
One last thing before we wrap this up: the lock button. It is the worst thing I've ever had problems with. It hard to push because the phone slides with it when you try to press it--which is very annoying. Also, you have to hold it down about 2 seconds to get it unlock. If I were Samsung, I would have put the unlock on the top of the phone so when you pressed it the keyboard wouldn't move.
Oh, there's also a Short Cut Menu on the left side of the phone. It contains: Call, Messaging, MEdia Net, Music Player, Games and Apps, and End All. That's very helpful in case you don't want to go through the whole menu to get to messaging or the Internet.
Okay. I think I've covered everything, in general. If you have any questions, then please ask!
