AT&T Samsung Impression
April 18th, 2009
More cruising around the net meant we ended up stumbling across the Samsung Impression over at AT&T. This snazzy little touchscreen slider rocks in at US$200 after rebate and shackle, but is available shackle-less for US$400. Here are a few more bits and pieces on the Samsung Impression
* 3.2 inch AMOLED 240 x 400 res 262K colour screen
* Quad-band and 3G connectivity
* Touchscreen and QWERTY slider interfaces
* 3 Mp camera with 3x digital zoom
* Music player supporting AAC, MP3, Real file formats
* Text messaging with Predictive text and IM – AOL, Windows Live and Yahoo! Messenger
* Mobile email – AOL, Yahoo, Windows Live, AT&T Yahoo
* Talk time up to 3 hours
* Standby time up to 250 hours
* microSD slot
* Web Browser
* Blue-tooth 2.0 and USB connectivity
Some quite cool features on the Impression, but may be $200 is a touch too high a price-tag? Smartphones seem to be down around that mark these days. Anyway the unit is loved by its owners as proved by a 4.8 out of 5 average rating on the AT&T website and just to cap it all off Engadget have been enthusing over the AMOLED screen
the screen is absolutely amazing, with mega-black blacks and colors that seem to pop right off the screen
So may be that price-tag is justified given the apparent quality of the Samsung Impression’s display. Here’s a positive review from Cnet Loaded.
So everyone seems to like the Samsung Impression from AT&T, so if you’re an owner of one of these suckers please let us know what you think.

I want to say it’s a good AT&T smartphone currently, but compared with the lg xenon, it looks a little bad.
On the software side, I was a little less impressed, especially with touch accuracy. The moments where the UI was particularly responsive means that the screen hardware itself is ok, but the that the OS is a little wonky. Being a capacitive screen, you shouldn’t have to press very hard for the hardware to register your finger. Some times the Impression required a decent amount of contact to really get into action. Other than that, the UI is standard AT&T fare once you get past the TouchWiz UI, but at this point it’s starting to look and feel bit dated.
share you opinions on http://www.Samsung-Impression.org a cool place for us.
