REVIEW STARTS AT: 2:21

[kobeeyadigg]

i had this phone for almost 2 years. i started out loving it, and then i started to now liking it. it kept breaking. then At&t gave me the LG Vu Plus, it broke. Then i just upgraded (last week) to the Samsung Infuse!! I LOVE IT!

[imagodonutube]

this phone ruined 24 months of my life it is horrible in every way!!!!!! the only good about it and i mean only thing! is the quality screen and sound

[webkinzlover2314]

i have this phone why does everyone say its crappy the only bad thing is the space bar!!

[onedre66]

@thefbboi yeah

[TheCasherry]

THIS PHONE IS A PIECE OF SHIT

[xwillfilmforfoodx]

DONT NOT EVER IN A MILLION YEARS BUY A SONY IMPRESSION!! IT SUCKS!! KEEP HAVING TO TURT IN ON AND OFF TO EVEN SEND A MESSAGE!

[Javier34C]

[ragethefail56]

@Javier34C lmao

[NicoletteThePinayGal]

[frnndoG]

After a while of having this phone I am not impressed

[frnndoG]

I am not impressed with this phone after a while of having it

[mialuvsjb]

i hate this phone soo muchh i hate itt!!

[WinterxFrost]

I love this phone. BUT when you first get it.. it sucks. But I've had it for a while I love it:D

[huderonlauren]

i have this phone. texting sucks, dont get it. it freezes. it also stops sending texts after so long and you have to turn it off then back on for it to work again(i have to do this like 8-10 times a day). also have to constantly delete your texts and keep it pretty much empty for it to work for a while. ive looked around and i see that many other people with this phone are having the same problem. for a phone that has a keyboard and pretty much made for texting, its terrible.

[peepishere]

Can u still get this phone?

[MattxMorris]

good keyboard thats about it.... Wish I still had my curve tho.

[DaisyC94]

haha ima be gettin this phone too for chrismas!lol but can i change the backrounds!!!!

[Chris14183]

[Nshadd2455]

@Chris14183

[frnndoG]

@Chris14183 didn't they stopped making these phones?

[brizzyfly]

do u think i should get this phone. Or u i have any recumendations

[thefbboi]

can you put a sd chip in the impression

[Nshadd2455]

@thefbboi yeah its under the battery and its HARD to find.

[MrBuracha]

sucks for the headphones you have to buy a adapter to use your own 3.5mm headset :(

[fpinon5150]

i have the impression! It sucks>>>>>the texting is bad it takes FOREVER !! UGH HATE IT

[tomsayer123]

[MrBuracha]

@13tME mee to!!!

[cedricast]

Which one should I get: Samsung Flight 2 or Samsung Impression? Please Help!!!!

[TLC81595]

@cedricast impression has a much better keyboard.

[pearberryxoxo]

@cedricast the impression's keyboard almost never works.. like @WTFKoduBear the impression is good at first then after a while it gets so glitchy its not even worth it..

[aznboy1234455]

@cedricast flite 2 its newer!

[WTFKoduBear]

It's great for about a month, but after that it starts to get TONS of problems. For example, my phone sometimes won't go black after I lock the screen, it just sticks on the "screen is locked" screen and won't notify me if I have a new message, or update the time. When I'm texting it'll miss letters, and the screen is very sensitive. I've only ever dropped the thing on carpet and it has a shit-load of scratches.

[ganstaboo151]

lhuv iit qettinq iit thiz weekend

[xsystemFAILURE102]

Great review, like usual. Definitely made me want to upgrade to this phone. But quick question, does this phone have a notification LED for missed call, texts, etc?

[czarkanye]

Broke the phone that this phone is getting a side to side comparison to..and got this one sent to me incorrectly by ATT but hey, ill take a better phone, whos complaining?

[GFlipsH]

fucking phone sucks dick

[jaaddeee311]

@gee1234567890 thanks!! ((=

[danny920538]

Is there a micro SD slot????

[TourniquetLove]

@danny920538 yup

[SonicZeldaFan]

@danny920538 no there is not

[jaaddeee311]

Does it have a thingy for like charms or lanyards or something like that??

[gee1234567890]

@jaaddeee311 yeah, i think its around the lower left corner

[motorolarival3]

love itt.!

[THISisNOTclarissa]

question, when i was reading a text from a friend i apparently accidentally hit a button that minimized the text size. i "accidentally" hit that button again today, and now the texts are so small that i kinda have to squint to read them, lol. how do i maximize the texts again?

[arielpinkberry]

@THISisNOTclarissa haha i had that problem too. oky so to fix it if you have ur phone closed and are looking at a opened mssg on ur inbox, on the left side of the phone there are two buttons. the one that is usually for the volume is the zoom button when texting. click up or down and the text will minimize or maximize.

[MsHorse7890]

wallpaper doesent change when u open the keyboard!

[XxxXMakeUpLoverXxxX]

its kinda funny that you compared it to the propel because my propel fell in the pool and i got the impression.

[Webkinzluver812]

this helped soo much

im getting this phone for my b-day

[arielpinkberry]

@Webkinzluver812 dont get this phone! biggest mistake ever! u constantly have to shut off phone because mssg wont send. im on my 5th one and stiil have thaat problem. it is so annoying. the periods pop up randomly in msgs if fast tx or sometimes its like this" hheeeyyy. whre. yoo uuu doo inn ggg. tdyyy?" its so freaking fustrating and the mssg will send and the person on the other line will think you are retarded or something. hahaha. save yourself money! DONT GET THIS PHONE!!!! hope this helps.

[robinal1504]

ur so funny! =]



[besalda101]

quick question, can u put ur own wallpaper?

[legon85]

@besalda101 yes

[Pokermaster111098]

@besalda101 yeah u can..it has demo pics like he sed whick are cool..but u can take pics and use em for ur wallpaper...plus its easy to do that.

[TourniquetLove]

[PORKCHOP101190]

[ajserna5]

My space bar feels funny but it works correctly. But the lock button is a little awkward. But I love it!

[NautiiBoiBrandenJ]

the samsung gravity T is the exact same phone just two diff companys but the tmobile one is a little bit how can i say this oh yea better lol getting the samsung gravity T soon

[FallenNinjaRanger]

does it have a thingy to put a memory card in?

[XxXNickelXxX]

@FallenNinjaRanger Yes it does

[Tujones]

Yes, you can add a micro memory card to the Impression, I did.

[ftp1221]

@JUDYizm no :(

[Tyson2449]

ok my phone screen turns blaack every time i slide my phone need help!!!! PLEASE

[Superdeduper739]

the buttons keep pressing twice when i type. not that big a problem buuut its annoying

[simbaha3]

I got this phone now

[XxPlaypink11Xx]

my space bar is fine! :/

[emilytimes2baabe]

he talks about the LG Xenon i miss mine /:

im gettting this one though. i hope its a good one(:

[scrtsrmdrt15]

i have one and i liek it. the only thing that makes me mad is that when i use the qwerty keyboard, it doesn't keep up with how fast i text and it misses some of the letters...

[pearberryxoxo]

what's weird about the space bar?

[LeahLovesCheese]

what makes me mad is me and my friend have that phone and i use the slide out board and she uses the onscreen touch keyboard. shes a freak -_-"

[ryanhendrixproject]

I'm getting mine Friday

[ryanhendrixproject]

The phones free at best buy

[samthemn56]

i like mine except i drop it a lot and it has LOTSSSSSSSSSS of scratches on the sides :O

[itouchez1]

IMA gET MINE iN 13 DAyS!

[LILJOKER33000]

IMA gET MINE THIS wEEKED -)

[HammerDoodle]

I've figured out two great things about this phone. I asked AT&T how do I check my texts when I'm using the phone, they said it couldn't be done. IT CAN. The top switch above volume control is a shortcut to inbox.

And you can change the size of font in a text. So look at a text and use the volume control to make the message smaller or bigger. I never knew you could do that til I accidently hit the button on the side in a text.

[VampiressuckmybloodX]

@HammerDoodle so you can text on this phone and check your messages while talking on the phone?

[MonkeyNinjasUnite]

Just got this phone. The keyboard i have to get used to im used to my iphone.. my iphone got stolen i just wouldnt get rid of my iphone ;)

[WTFKoduBear]

Everyone loves this phone, but honestly... I hate this fucking phone. It turned on on its own in my class. And if you type to fast it will miss keys.

[CheeseGravy99]

@JLowHang

For Movies and Videos, go with he LG Vu.

[homgpoopwtf]

U talk to much...... Just use the phones..

[LittelBlueMen7]

not my fovorit but u know its duroble when you leave it outside for over three months and run it over with the lawnmower and it still works perfectly

[joejonasfan188ify]

my phone works fine baby i love this phone. the space bar is fine for me.....i got mine March 31st 2010

[wszq13]

watch my newly purchased cellphone 16Gig touch screen :)

[lolcat65]

i have had this phone for a day and i love it but the spacebar sucks like what he said

[anAPPleAdayJKT]

get the impression now i got it yesterday and there is a special on it for $50!

[jbkrule]

@anAPPleAdayJKT I got it for free today for the "manager weekly special" at the store i went to lol

[xBuLLiTTxPROOFx]

@anAPPleAdayJKT i got it for free today

[ExcelSub]

@JLowHang Samsung Mythic is good

[msteadman11]

cant wait till i get it tuesday:D

[macygurl556]

i want q blackberry sooo bad <33

[TheHikaruAndKaoru]

@macygurl556 i have a blackberry (8110 pearl) and all i have to say is this; i love my phone. it's durable, (it's been dropped, again and again, shot under the seats of the bus, fallen out of my pocket while bikeriding, you get my point) its fast, the screen is great, there is almost nothing bad i can say about this phone. there is one thing; it takes FOREVER to turn off. ive had mine for two years so it freezes up now and again (that may just be from dropping it) but it is an ecxellent phone.

[aznloverkid]

its only $99 now and xenon is $49 now.

[mikeeazy661]

im kinda impatient <- dont know if i spelled it right, but

ok i dont feel like watching the whole thing ha, anyone who has this phone, when you lock the phone, everytime you lock it like a different picture comes up, how do you make it so when you lock the phone you can put your own picture there? if you can help me id appreciatte it thanks, love you :)( holy crap i wrote alot)

[macygurl556]

u cant change the lock pic :/

[RandomMoments97]

i have tha same fone.....u cant :-( another thing tht dissappointed me is tht u cant have a txtin signature.....sorrie again

[Master59fifty]

should i still get this phone?

[jambaboy789]

Is it worth getting this phone now? Or wait for any other phones to come out? (My upgrade is in May) Because it has been out for a year, and there might be other new phones...

[macygurl556]

blackberry storm :)

[splendiferous788]

best phone glad i got it

[Vanahgaga]

im about to go get this phone right now! :))

[jackiechula]

OMG! i looooooooove this phone like soooo BAD!!! can anybody tell me if i can put music u know use it as an ipod too? =) Thanx

[xFABKRIS]

Yeah, you can

[PolkaDots2795]

ya you can

[macygurl556]

i have this phone. use ur cd install it . and hook up ur phone in the usb ports. (comp , and phone) select pc studio then go to the pc studio u just installed (CD) AND PUT IN MUSIC ON THERE. or u can use a memory card and open up the back of the phoneAND stick it in the microSD slot :) hope this helped..

[macygurl556]

look AT MY COMMENT ABOVE..

[njackson488]

Can you make and use custom ring tones for it? I can upgrade in a month and might be considering this phone.

[macygurl556]

yuuppperrsszzxx

[chickadoodledo]

im getting this phone soon and was wondering if it freezes up a lot on texting like everyone says. and is the space bar hard to use or do you just need to break it in.

[ThatLebKid]

space bar is fine idk what people r talking about i got myne couple days ago and texting is okay i actually love it.

[cosmicgate07]

I like it but hate the color... black color would be good.... I wanted to get it it sucks

[StroodleCutie442]

can you also change the backround of the phone like any picture ?

[bearygirl7]

On Samsung Impression , yes. It can be: Bridge at sunset (in video) ,Sunset, Tulips, Ring of Lights, Saffron, Peaks, or Hills and stream. and of course your own pictures you take.

Hope I helped! -Bearygirl7

[Oxbowpink]

This is a great review! I am getting this phone February 20th & I was wondering if it uses wi-fi? Also, what other similar phones like this do you recommend from at&t? Let me know, please and thank you! :)

[bearygirl7]

I know you were probably expecting a comment from phonedog but i would say a recommendation is pantech impact, lg xenon, or the samsung propel

[TheBigHurtIV]

hey, i have an iphone 3g right now and i know its kinda downgrading going from that to the impression but i hate texting on the iphone, but should i wait for the new iphone in june or get this?

[bearygirl7]

I think you should get this phone. I have it as well and I love it because it is somewhat like the iPhone but to me it's better. Mostly because there is a QWERTY keyboard attached.

[snowgoez]

how do you get videos off of youtube?

[OrangeSodaLover]

got this phone today, love it so much. it may not be an iphone or nexus one but it does everything right unlike the other 2

[bearygirl7]

Yes, I <3 this phone. literally everyone in my family has an iPhone but i LOVE the Samsung Impression because there is a QWERTY keyboard & you can have some fun with your pictures. It reminds me of a laptop like the way you can change ur picture so your face is "Alienscum" or "JellyBelly" haha. It's totally fun!!

[megabowler23]

i would love to have this phone. now i have the eternity and its sucks. i hate it and despise it. but i am afraid to ask my dad if i can get a new phone. someone help me!!!

[bearygirl7]

Oh. Did you get an upgrade? then saw this phone and wanted this? Yeah I upgraded my phone to Samsung Impression & I want another phone. But thing is try to have fun with your phone now because like others say if you upgrade when it's not even CLOSE to the upgrading time there might be another phone you want instead of this phone...You know what I mean??? Haha.

Hope I helped.. ~Bearygirl7

[superE230]

How is the contact menu on this phone?

[bearygirl7]

The Contact menu is listed And next to each name there is a green phone button that allows you to call that number. If you press on the name, it gives you all the info on the person . And on the main contact menu it gives u two choices at the bottom that says: "Create Contact" ~or~ "Delete"

Hope I helped! ~Bearygirl7

[Amongthefallen89]

@thecitylightz

I have the impression one charge lasts at least 4-5 days for me which is very good compared to my old phone the vu which was 2 days

[Ska8emaProductions]

does have that little loop thing

[Amongthefallen89]

Mythic is for mobile tv

Impression is for texters/web users

Solstice is for people who don't want tv but like the mythic no offense to people who want/have this phone but I think it has no real good use

[TheCityLightz]

impression should be for me then. u know how well the battery is??

[TheAllAwesomeG]

my space is fine

[heyyy416]

haha lol i loove the bak ground when this vid 1st started

[culprcky15]

hey noah, btw great vids, i have a question, im getting the samsung impression but i use att gophone, can i put the gophone sim card in the impression and it work or will it not work. same thing as the lg xenon. thanks

[seanyboy0035]

alot of ppl complain about the lock button its just u got to hold for a second for it to unlock thats why there so much trouble with unlocking it just hold it down dont just push it

[CoolMan22188]

Samsung Solstice, Samsung Mythic Or

Samsung Impression???

Which One Should I get..

[MelsChannel]

impression (:

[williewillus1220]

@CoolMan22188

solstice is an impression without the QWERTY keyboard

mystic has better looks

impression is all around

[kelliefofelly]

hi i saw ur cmment... the mythic is very comlicated! and the solstice doesnt havee as good of a look as the impression.. i love the sound and picture quality on the impression.. i would way go with the impression! hope i helped!

[grouchyspaz12334]

The funny thing is that people are so pissy about their phone that if they get a defective one they go and leave bad comments on all of the phone reviews.

[raiderhaiter43]

@grouchyspaz12334 ture true every true

[keello59]

i have the samsung eternity, thinkin about getting this, is this phone jus like it?

[ROCKERBOY414]

It's basically the same, except this has a better screen, louder speaker, and an awesome keyboard. Also, the menus are in black instead of white, but it's not a big deal.

[eaglesrule62]

how many texts does it hold?

[grouchyspaz12334]

I think its based on your sim card, but i'm not really sure.

[123tyran123]

I hate the way the camera is designed on the impression

[rdhalim]

Has anyone ever tried to use the modem capability to connect to the laptop as palm pre does?

[nitrokid655]

i was gonna get this phone but i ended up getting the Samsung Eternity which i think might be a little bit better

[TAYHEEZY23]

Is there a way to change the overall font type? The font to me seems a little girly but the phone looks great!

[skywalkersamocha]

this looks a lot like the Solstice except for the slide keyboard.

[tekknking]

exactly, i got a solstice and my brother got a impression, there the same phone except a keyboard on the impression, plus its bulgier

[myohmy64]

duh.

[Duschmon7]

Everyone who thinks this phone is great go search samsung corby pro. It looks just about like this one except it has what this phone doesn't, like wifi, real headphone jack and real threaded messaging. Oh aaanndd it uses the new touchwiz. That's about as close to perfect as it's gonna get :-)

[bsulayman]

dude I just googled it and its really not all that much better it doesnt have a 4 row side slide keyboard

[InSaInPhYcHo]

If you want a touch screen phone with a full keybored i would recomend this phone, if you want just a touch screen get the samsung solstice.

[Duschmon7]

Or the mythic withe new touchwiz

[MusicPro17]

im asking for this phone for christmas! i looove it so much

[corbs16]

The iphone is a Capacitive display while this phone uses 2 sheets of glass if you touch the screen the bottom screen picks up where u touch

[royboy10000]

i would get this cause of the internet and better camera

[OMGitsCODYISBOMB]

this or xenon?

[7075403942]

Hey i am wondering, can I walk into best buy, purchase the phone in the box and walk out (Not having them do any thing to it, and keep my old phone?)

[bignick4591]

yes you can but they will try to sell you the contract/ plan
