Samsung Eternity a867 (AT&T) - Hands-On

[be4udie03]

anyone know if this phone has threaded/conversation messaging?

[MrJustchill21]

This is the most annoying-est phone ive ever used calibration is terrible

[mdemmie7]

Uhh dude you spelt over wrong u spelt ober

[limeimac97776]

I am STILL using this phone today because I cannot afford a smartphone data plan. Well...I have 2 at&t phones. This and the solstice 2. Texting is better on the solstice; it has a responsive heat sensitive touch screen. The eternity has the old style touchscreen that can be pressed from anything. The eternity has a much better camera than the solstice and the vibration is more noticeable on the eternity. The eternity also has a better-looking larger screen. But the solstice has a better menu.

[Jixxter90]

Does this phone have a SD card slot?

[xamaiiranyx]

@Jixxter90 yes

[z3r0grav1tyd00d]

i hav this phone but it keeps turning off by itself then bac on pleez help

[extremedaniel88]

ober....ha funny



[jeffhmartin]

Why is it that EVERY SINGLE cell phone review is ten minutes of some dumb idiot rambling about stupid things that aren't helpful at all? Here's a thought: if you feel so inclined to review a phone, cover these essentials-- 1. Does the phone feel durable? 2. Does it hold a charge? 3. IS CALL QUALITY GOOD? other than that, who gives a flying poop. I'm listening to this guy ramble on about TV and music and cracking stupid little jokes that no one will ever laugh at.

[90Mrknowitall]

DAMN so OLD!! but yet only 3 years ago in the tech world thats LONG!!!

[WAilUAStRAiN808]

who noticed he tiped ober instead of ober?

[eggatastic]

how much internal memory does it have

[TheShecklover]

hey someone just a question........does it connect to wifi? and the tv do you need to buy a plan for it? Or can I just use it? Well answer please I will prob oder it tomorrow..:D I cant wait!!

[OhSnap2006]

[bluePedal2]

[GTLalldayeveryday]

*over the loud chicken .

[z3r0grav1tyd00d]

Ober the loud chicken?

[AlanMW1996]

what us the upgrade for this phone?

[DJwalaLopez]

HE LOOKS LIKE THE GUY FROM ALVIN IN THE CHIPMUNKS!

[xFlipHD]

@RachelsPiano yeah



[jcascroggins]

I'm eligible for an upgrade, but don't want to pay the data price for a smartphone... and so far can't find any non-smartphones I think I'll like better than my good ol' eternity; any suggestions?

[leightonransome]

@jcascroggins LG Neon 2

[Danz207]

Jumped ober the loud chicken???? LMFAO!

[redirectionkid]

It's a decent phone, I still use it. Pretty dated.

The most annoying thing though, is when you're trying to navigate through an automated phone menu, and you have to use the glitchy on-screen keyboard to make a selection. The first few numbers work fine, but then, for some reason, it DOUBLES what you dial in after that, and this can be very frustrating when you're trying to get to enter your d.o.b. or account #, and it jumps to the wrong menu. Surprised I haven't thrown it out the window.

[SpaceboundMnM]

ober the loud chicken 

[MPG350]

junk phone ive had 3 in 2 years never will get samsung phone again apple here i come

[TinaLT23]

I do not like this phone anymore. It was cool when I first got it because of the TV, but technology has come so far since then. I will be getting a Samsung Captivate soon. Now that phone is sweet.

[Killerdude240]

Using this phone right now because my HTC Aria fell on the concrete. It's not that bad honestly.

[pinkberry57412]

I hate this phone i have the samsung eternity 2 and it isn't any better

[leightonransome]

You almost sound like Jerry Sceinfeld

[zmann234]

this phone sucks my ass

[AmairanyMarlem15]

The Eternity brings back memories... Miss this phone :/

[WoWZimmy]

@AmairanyMarlem15 Yeah :( I lost mine .. it was so awesome!

[AmairanyMarlem15]

@WoWZimmy It had just gotten hard to use the touchscreen, so I got a new phone.. But I would do anything to get another Eternity! The Eternity 2 is soo ugly and looks nothing like the original.

[Nikky1401]

is this phone a smart phone?

[cutiekeke00]

@Nikky1401 no it is a messaging phone

[beddybug123]

Do NOT get this phone!!!!!

It sucks and you have to push really really hard on the screen to open something!!

Battery life only lasts a day on mine and texting and typing on the full keyboard is super hard to do!!!

That's why I'm getting the LG Vu Plus on Monday(:

[zmann234]

@beddybug123 omg same here this phone is the worst

[MackFezza]

@beddybug123 ugghh i hate it too

[champ0497]

I miss this phone for some reason.

[StewieGriffin56]

Can you text fast on this?

[crossf4d3]

is this a considered a smart phone?

[xxLovelyGarnetxx]

@crossf4d3 no

[nickoo2nickoo2]

Ive had this phone for two years.... It was good at first but overtime it has gotten to the point where every other time I bring it from sleep the calibration is off that I cant even get to the recalibrate section in the menu and I have to turn it off back on and hope it recalibrates. Sometimes it does, somtimes it doesnt. And the platic back doesnt stay off for shit. And its also somtimes hard for people to hear you when your calling them. But it is a good phone.

[NHLfan8]

Now when they say mobile tv is there some kind of free trial or does it cost extra right away

[BoyInThePenguinPants]

where do u buy this now?

[Meemeeru]

I love this phine! basicly all my friends wish they had it!

[racpagant]

This Phone sucks, don't buy it!

[jclegofreaks96]

@racpagant agreed 100% I hate this phone so much that I wanna throw it at a wall!

[mowse120]

Quietly cuz he was in stealth mode... :D

[Musicree]

I have had this phone for two years and i have loved it. Though its no iphone its very easy to use and easy to text on even though i don't use the qwerty keyboard. i've never dropped a call on this phone besides when i was in disney world which has terrible reception. Not very good camera, zoom is terrible and you can't zoom when you are recording either.

[NHLfan8]

yes AT&T come soon!!! im getting this

[gradxg]

@NHLfan8 its not great... the touch screen is more of a pressure screen on mine you have to literally push it to make it work

[morgan61108]

@NHLfan8 dude its been out for like a year

[NHLfan8]

@morgan61108 well i know but im getting the phone now but only for a little bit but im wondering if when i get it will i be able to get a free trial?? for the tv

[grand918]

i have the same phone, and i locked it wen i tried to turn it on it said phone lock and i have tried to enter the pins but it wont turn on. can somebody please help me?

[HeavyGhost]

Im getting this phone soon. So tired of using this LG Xenon I borrowed from my friend lol. And dont get a myspace.

[yodigdogdogdigdog123]

if this had a qwerty keyboard it wold be the ultimate phone!

[gradxg]

@yodigdogdogdigdog123 it has a virtual qwerty keyboard of u tilt it sideways

[harlysorto217]

omfg why did I ever buy a piece of S Mythic.

[keitelharris]

gayest fone ever!!!!!! its too slick slides everywhere you have to mash the screen to get it to open something

[tstubbz21]

when yo messages pop up does it say who sent it too;?

[Wontonwabledoo]

POW right in the kisser

[Wontonwabledoo]

Hey you should use that phone and enter stealth mode to sneak up on the banging people next door and pop 'em in the kisser.

[warrior5496]

Guys... yes this is a good phone, but definitely doesn't last forever :x lasted me a year and a half before a software problem killed the phone completely :\

[CAROL080331]

this phone working internet service

[noni10]

This phone is not a good phone, is a ok phone,

so think twice before getting this phone.

[MegaBears54]

my dad has this phone and he went through 4 of them!! then he went to the impression and went through 3 of those now he has the i phone 3GS and he loves it. i have the impression and it sucks!!

[superbrock31]

Mine started messing up towards the end of its career

[lilskeeskee]

Can you put a memory card in this phone ?

[pistol231]

@lilskeeskee yea right beside the sim card slot in the back

[sk8boarderpro]

he spelled over "ober" on 6:20 but anyway, the impression iz btr than the eternity

[MegaBears54]

@sk8boarderpro the impression sucks. i have one and i want to stick it up someones ass sideways

[ZtClan]

omg do not buy this phone what a peice of crap as soon as i got it for more then 3 months i wanted to change and ive been stuck with it for 2 years now... if your going to get a new phone get the iPhone or a android phone

[cheerleaderstar2010]

i LOVE THIS PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[EricaEnsmee]

i have this phone and i absolutely hate it.

[ax629]

look like a prada

[Getttcrunkkkx3]

Okay, I've had this phone for sixth months. Every thing about this phone amazing but texting. I fucking hate texting on this phone SO much. I have pretty small fingers, not big ass ones, so don't say, "YOUR FINGERS ARE FAT THATS WHY" I've tried texting with & without long fingernails, STILL SUCKS. You press one letter & another one pops up, like wtf.

But other than that, nice good. Great camera, too. (:

[poncho828]

all samsung phones suck



[swivelsticks]

[Daquane94]

[tongui33]

[jenjen244]

[1cublock7]

i love this phone! i've had it for a little over a year now and i love it....it is extremely durable for a touch screen, i've dropped i many time (on concrete) and i works just fine...i have vowed to keeping this phone until i break it...the next cell i'm gettin is htc aria though...it's really close but a little more advanced :P even though they no longer make them if you can get your hands on one it's very affordable and easy to use

[coruptgovt]

[alyssa7909]

[rsxhitman]

[xb0xFTW]

@1996Janelle OMG ME TOO THATS FREAKING CRAZy

[icheylexi97]

hey i have that phone and had it for the past year and a half! When i first got that phone it was so coool and i loved it... but like every phone it gets boring :(and the most thing i dont like about it is the messeging.. when i type i mess up so much with the touchscreen!! but other than that its a great phone!! :)

[UTubeLightBulb]

NO GMAIL BOO

[TheFangalicious]

this phone is the best phone anyone can have well of course meaning touch screen althought nothing can top the MOTOROLA DROID<3....yet...hahah

[Tazy50]

my friend has this. the touchscreen is kinda, how do i put this....HORRIBLE. not trying to be a hater. and its a bit slow. but besides that, its a pretty good phone and its worth getting. the battery life might suck. but turn down the brightness all the way down. and turn off 3G. and it should save a lot of battery.

[diaztchris57]

woooo getting this on saturday!!!!!!

[aa22a2a]

If I know a fox it wouldn't jump over a chicken. It would eat good that night...

[samantha01b]

Mine doesnt have the lanyard thing either.

[poncho828]

all samsung touch screen phones suck

[HiiHat3rz]

i have the vu :[ im tired of it

[bflat450]

@HiiHat3rz I have the vu too, but my eternity is coming today :)

[MegaBears54]

@HiiHat3rz whats wrong with it, i was considering getting it

[ilovepaul55]

@HiiHat3rz i had the VU!hated it!!lol well it was ok it fell in the toliet twice and survived!!

[TBSkateBoard]

this phone is beast ! But mine got stolen )= lol

[ksalbrecht88]

I have had this phone for about 9 months now. It has never given me any problems until now. The screen freezes & the phone becomes unresponsive for a long time & when I receive or make phone calls no one can hear me speak. This has only been going on for about 2 weeks now. I also think this phone is currently a bit outdated with superior phones like the HTC Evo 4G & the iPhone 4 taking their place in the smart phone market. Oh & for those who don't know.. the Samsung Eternity isn't a smartphone.

[Tazy50]

i hate it when people unlock the it from the home screen, and when it's about to dim out, they just leave it, so they have to unlock it again. it's so annoying (i got issues)

[jessay98]

iHave this fonee..

ahaa, iRealized mine

doesn't have the lanyard thingyy..D:

[blkbatgurl09]

@jessay98 lol mines doesnt either thts b.s lol

[AntAndAndrew]

had it for aday, brought it back! i hate all touch, I recomend the LG Xenon.

but this phone is about a 2/5. great ideo tho!

[dogman683]

how do you change the shortcut menu so u can have the menu icon as a short cut.

[ilovehim2015]

Do you HAVE to pay for the Mobile TV or Mobile Internet every month? This is the reason I have to get rid of my Palm Treo 750, because I can't afford the other 50 dollars.

[franklongbottom1632]

THIS PHONE SSUUCCKKSS. The touchscreen is horrible.

[qx1zed]

I have had my Eternity for a 1 1/2 years w/o issues. I just don't like their browser. I wish Samsung would develop their own browser.

[namnai16]

Noah is Hilarious! "Some things are forever, they last for all eternity." OMG! LOL! Anyways, that's a good reveiw, I keep watching this XD

[namnai16]

No Unboxing?

[Bobbybobby85]

if I use an AT&T pay as you go sim card in an unlocked eternity, can I access 3G internet without a contract?

[MadModzTube]

@Bobbybobby85 no because it would use your credits from your prepaid cards

[TenkiTench]

i have an eternity and i think that the phone would be better if it had qwerty keys instead of just a touchscreen. its ok but i've gotten tired of it so if u want a phone w/ a touchscreen and a qwerty, then get the samsung impression... don't get me wrong its a good phone, but after a while the hype about it dies, quickly...

[TheJosephatkins]

samsung impression is bettter

[natebocek]

noash should deff get a myspace page

[mavchick4142]

hahaha this dude is HILARIOUS:))

[ynnanicolet]

the only thing i hate with this phone is the camera sux!!! but all in all its a great phone and the battery lasts for days :)

[footballlegacy007]

Does the phone have a keyboard?

[fall3nsktr]

i have this phone and i dont really like it..

[salleyboy14]

there is a software update....

[GeezynCoblerProducts]

ober

[MONEYTAKEA]

Sighs** I hate Samsungs O/s...

[justjust908]

is the tv free?

[richardmerkle]

@justjust908 unfortunately no, its 10 bucks a month. just use the cellular video i think its better and its free

[Kidduece7]

Regular touchscreen

[snk9045]

is it a smart phone or a regular touch screen

[snk9045]

ober, what its over

[dhyosungk]

out of all of my phones, dang this ones been the most impressive.

personally i'm going to keep this phone until it pretty much dies out or gets too old, coz the current phones on the market don't satisfy me.

The menu interface isn't ugly, beautiful phone overall, etc. The battery is extremely reliable, I love samsung phones. LG has the looks but I hate their interface. The new samsung mythic killed the menu with the ugly grid-looking menu... so dissapointing, it looks so cool but that menu....

[mel570]

my eternity is soo amazing i love it!! but i have one problem, i have to touch under the thing that i want im not shure if all samsung eternitys are like this or if its just mine. but is there a way to fix this?? PLEASE HELP THANKS (:

[Mushroomyful]

Go to settings, phone, calibration

[mel570]

@Mushroomyful i have for some reason the calbriation wont work. im not shure whats wrong with it

[SrgVerge]

Oh. I just realized that i do not have the lanyard loop on mine. Wierd

[SrgVerge]

I have this phone. It would be 10x better if the screen would respond when i touch it. I have to hammer the screen to get it to work

[jackloj8]

i lost this phone, now i have a lame flip phone

[madpolo88]

hahahaha lol

[dreid1955]

great phone. the touch screen requires a little too much pressure tho

[Yusel11]

this phone is just like the samsung impression except the impression doesnt have the tv thingg but same virtual on screen keyboard and the impression has A slide out keyboard.

[DGKBalla27]

i love my eternity!!!!!

best fone in the year good touch screen!!!!

[TheKarlez]

I have a question does it viberate when you touch it? I cant stand when phones do that, it drives me insane lol

[ogioful]

@DGKBalla27 wht about the mythic

[na356]

Personally, i love this phone. Battery lasts 6 days for me and i get 1000 texts per day. The only con i have is that the keyboard sometimes gets the wrong letter. But for me it happens 4/10 times. I give it a 9/10

[strongbad73]

@na356 same here or it will type 2 of the same letter after changing keys. ie. you will type the word "the" then hit space bar and end up with "thee". that happens a lot.

[sanderson9999]

@na356 u can calibrate it

[monkeymangonewild]

@na356 i get like tons of wrong letters but its alright i get used to hitting back space

[na356]

@monkeymangonewild Same here, but hey soon i get my iphone 4 next month :D

[MEequalAWESOMENESS]

does this phone have wifi?

[xoxomomoxo98]

ewwi have this phone and its not responsive and i have gotten soo many replacement bc it wont tapon anything im getting the impression ♥ that phoneee

[brickchruch]

Is there a way to get the youtube vidios to fill up the whole screen I hate those black bars

[spikerz10]

Last year, I got a pantech matrix and traded it in for this hunk of junk... BIG MISTAKE!!!!
