Samsung Flight A797 Gsm Smarthone, Silve

I have had this phone for over 2.5 yrs and it still works just as well as when in got it! It has been dropped, run over, and under water more times than i can count(with no case or screen protector) and other than looking very scratched up it works perfectly and can still go 2.5 - 3 days without being charged. I can upgrade my phone but still have not because there is no need for me to. It also does not need to have a data plan with it if you do not want one which is nice for me. The only thing that i wish was different about this phone is that it had threaded messaging instead of the separated inbox and sent messages. But This phone is nearly indestructible!

I have used this phone on and off (in between other upgrades or phones bought online) and somehow always end up going back to it. While it may not be the most interesting or appealing phone on the market, especially with the way technology and cell phone manufactureers are going, it is definitley one of the most reliable. It's pretty user friendly and makes texting easy with the touch screen, T9 input method AND a keyboard. This could be even more facilitated with threaded messaging and the keyboard tends to lag behind the speed of my fingers. The phone is built rather sturdily and has yet to fall apart after my two years of use. The battery life is wonderful (can usually go for 2.5 days) and call quality isn't bad. I've ran this phone over, dropped in a cup of water AND a swimming pool and dropped it numerous times. And nothing. This phone is a warrior!

I had to return to my FLIGHT after a snafu with a another product. I should have never left this phone. It IMHO is the perfect phone for a person that chooses to keep the phone a phone with the ability to occasionally text and email. The touch screen makes it easy to access the features one uses most. Pair it with New Studio software and you can maximize the camera and music player. I will probably keep my FLIGHT until I finally find a need for a phone that is also a computer.

We have 2 of these. Both loose randomly contacts including favorites, & individualized ring tones. Retrieve them back from the SIMMS card & the info returns in a different format. Have to correct each contact 1 at a time. By the time they all get corrected it might loose them again. Press any function button and the phone might shut itself off instead of doing the function desired. Too many function buttons exposed on the sides to get inadvertently pressed when not desired. Like the features of new Samsung phones coming out but am reluctant to get one because of bad experience with these 2 Flights.

I really did love this phone for awhile because it had everything and worked perfectly. I wasnt too happy with the picture quality but it still was a really good phone. Well, about a few months ago, my touch screen messed up really bad and i cannot look at my pictures anymore because my touch screen will not let me push my menu button. it pushes the button next to it (contacts).
