Classy Junk

Looks like a million bucks but it’s all show and no go. Hangs up at the worst possible times like when you are trying to pay your bills online or in the car when I am trying to contact my wife! I went through three of them before AT&T admitted they had a problem! Stay away from this unit.

My thoughts on the Samsung Impression
By: Tifani
October 20, 2009 @ 2:09 PM
I’ve had my phone almost 6 months now. It was great at first. I loved that it had touch screen and a full slide out keyboard. But once the problems started (and I’ve found that it’s NOT just my phone) it became the worst phone I’ve ever had. Compared to the iPhone I love that you can use your finger or finger nails rather than just your fingers. I loved that it wasn’t just touch screen – I can text faster on the keyboard than the touch screen.
My first known problem, just weeks after I got it, I noticed it would freeze on text messaging. I have to turn the phone off and restart it.
I don’t like where the key lock button is.
If I attached a picture then tried to add words with it the phone would freeze and I had to turn it off.
My biggest problem- the screen didn’t respond correctly. If I went to touch something on the screen I had to press about 1/4 of an inch further down than where it actually appeared to be. I couldn’t make calls or get into my menu button AT ALL. I had to get a replacement phone and now (after having it about 2-3 weeks) it’s starting to have texting and service issues.
I would NOT recommend this phone- unless it comes out with the flaws fixed.
The idea of the functionality of the phone is great and I love it… Just don’t like the flaws.

Bad internet connectivity issues and mail system

Hi. Well I’m not “Impressed” with the phone thus far. I’ve had to return and get a second one now and now this new second one I’ve gotten has the same problem. It turns off on me when I’m using the Texting and Messaging system. Also sometimes when I press the back button it also turns off on me. Eventhough I really liked the phone at first, this problem makes the phone sucky. Time to get a BlackBERRY!!!

The Samsung impression is the most expensive phone I’ve ever had and it’s given me the most problems ever, I hate it! If it weren’t for all the glitches it would be a great phone but, like many others, I’ve also had the problem where it stops sending messages and you have to turn the phone off and on again also if your inbox gets close to full it starts receiving messages extremely slow. It will take an hour to get a message from someone 10 feet away and now my screen is frozen in the middle of typing a message. I’ve tried taking the battery out and putting it back in but that doesn’t work so I don’t know what to do. I’ve only had this phone for a little over a month and all the problems I’ve discovered revolve around texting, which is ridiculous because it’s a phone made for texting!

What I think of the Samsung Impression
By: Mandy

This phone is wonderful! I got it a few days ago and I love it already!! It is really easy to use! It has a wonderful touch screen, and it’s easy to text, offering 3 different ways to text. They have the slide out keyboard, a touch screen keyboard, and a touch screen way to text like with a flip phone. The battery life is good and it hasn’t frozen for me yet (knock on wood [:) Also, the pictures it takes are phenomenal! It looks like a professional camera took it. You can also add cool effects to the photos.I only noticed a few problems. Sometimes when I text, it doesn’t send it so I have to turn my phone off and on, but then it works fine. Also it doesn’t do banners or signatures. Other then that this phone is wonderful, I love it!

poor call quailty
By: Darren

The Samsung Impression made a big impression on me, until I spoke on it. The call clarity is poor and when my girlfriend calls me from her home phone the sound is hideous! it makes a loud crackling sound. Now I don’t know if I just got a hold of a bad Impression or what!

Sansung Impression

I have had the phone for 3 days now and have found it very intuitive and easy to use. I haven’t been an avid user of smart phones, so I am still experiencing what all I can do. Disappointed in the headphone jack being non STD. Overall, still a good phone.
