Smartphones these days can do almost anything. One can bet that a state of the art phone is going to cost a pretty penny. For those with limited funds they might have trouble finding a passable phone. But the Samsung SGH-A177 has just been released. Its an affordable phone with an amazing full QWERTY keyboard allowing for easy messaging.
The Samsung SGH-A177 has a simple design. Those tired of over the top models and outrageous colors might see the simplicity as a welcome change. Others who are used to the Swiss army knife nature of most phones today might be put off by it. The phone is a simple rectangular phone, with no flip or slide mechanism. There are 2 design flaws found on this phone that might sway people away. Firstly the plastic the phone is made out of simply doesn't feel strong enough to withstand constant use. If you plan on purchasing this phone should also get a pouch or some kind of case. Also the screen is rather small. Despite the bright color display photos and games are going to appear slightly pixilated and muted. The best feature on this phone is obviously the full QWERTY keyboard. The keyboard was designed to make texting and sending long messages in instant message windows easy. They keys are slightly raised and there is a very satisfying click noise whenever you press a button.
This phone clearly lacks any of the features found on many of the heavy weight phones out there. The phone does come with a camera, instant message capabilities, and even Bluetooth. For some people this is all that they might need. The IM function and Bluetooth work well but the images captured on the camera are mediocre at best. Along with not being able to record any video the camera seems like an afterthought.
The microphone installed in the phone needs definite improvement. If you are in a high traffic or loud noise area the microphone will pick it up and the caller on the other end will have trouble understanding you. Additionally the speakerphone is just atrocious. The other caller will sound very low and if the volume is increased to over compensate the caller will sound very distorted and garbled.
The Samsung SGH-A177 is an interesting phone. While it makes texting and messaging easy and comfortable it clearly lacks in a lot of other areas. If you are a serious text junky then this phone would be a wise purchase.
