After 5 months trying to figure out how to do this and that (no written manual) and settings not holding, I opted for an LG Xenon and first of all, it has a user guide....written....what a concept! It's very easy to navigate to hither and yon and the settings stay as you set them! Removing the sim card from the Samsung was difficult, just like most everything else with this phone. Installing them into the LG was eeeeeasy and the battery charged up fully in less than 2 hours. The LG has an onscreen set up guide that makes things a piece of cake. The Samsung had to be taken twice to the service provider to get little pieces set up and voice mail was never possible for me. Frequently, when the touch screen was used, something not even close was activated. Personally, I would never buy another Samsung, and never recommend it to anyone else.

I got this cell phone as an upgrade over my old Motorola KRZR which was very user friendly. The primary purpose of a cellphone is to be able to talk and listen and this is where Samsung Eternity fails big time. I am having a hard time in talking to people as they always complain about poor voice volume which I never faced with my old cellphone. The other big thing that I don't like about this model is the hold on and off key's location. To turn on or off the screen one has to hold the cellphone in a really weird grip and it can be very distracting if you are in a car and wants to make a call. Also the battery dies out really fast, part of the reason is that sometimes the screen does not turn off in the idle mode by itself. The only good thing about this cellphone is its music player so if you want a new mp3 player go buy it. In my opinion this cellphone fails in serving its most important function and is not user friendly as well.

I purchased the Samsung Eternity in the Spring of 2009, and have been very happy with it. PROS: 3G speed web browsing is FAST. Above average battery life. (5 hour talk time) Screen is bright and clear. Can handle up to an 8GB micro card installed. Full AT&T music MP3 player. Can be connected to a PC via BLUETOOTH or USB to add pictures, music, or bring internet to a PC. Can access YAHOO MAIL, HOTMAIL, AOL MAIL, EARTHLINK, without ANY extra PDA plan. CONS: Phone call quality is fair, and has low volume. The touch screen can drive you crazy sometimes. Its not sensitive enough. Ringtones must be limited to 300k. (At&T's fault) There is no voice dialing feature on this phone. AT&T has poor coverage for both, cell, and 3G service. I've found the back battery door scratches easy, even with a protective cover on it. Overall, a good phone. Good feature set. Sort of the poor man's iPhone. I highly recommend purchasing the unlimited data, and text message plan for this phone.

Samsung's aren't the best phones in the world, but... by Reader2008

The last Samsung I had was a slider and I ended up selling it on ebay because the ear piece got hot when you talked on it, no one could hear a word you said, and the phone just seemed low quality. Fast forward two years and I HAD to get a Samsung because this is the only phone, other than the iPhone, on ATT that was easy to use with the virtual or slide out keyboard. The first thing I did was buy a screen protector and a case for it; these are a must otherwise the phone is very fragile. With the screen protector, you don't have to worry about scratching the screen and with the case, when you drop it, it is the case that absorbs the majority of the damage. Now, for the phone's functionality: 1. The battery life is HORRIBLE. If you talk on the phone for more than an hour or use the internet, you have to make sure you recharge it. I am always charging the phone which is ANNOYING. 2. Most of the time people can't really hear you. You have to put people on speaker for them to hear you otherwise you are constantly hear "what, I can't hear you?" 3. The touch screen sometimes doesn't work when you try to turn it to the side. You have to tap it twice to get it to turn to the side and then it still doesn't work sometime. 4. It looks awesome and is an awesome phone. 5. I, however, plan to exchange it when MOTOROLA starts offerring a similar phone for ATT. Motorola phones can be dropped and they stay charged for at least a week and people can hear you. Samsung just can't seem to perfect functionality, although, the looks are always on point.
