A look at Samsung a877 Impression

AT&T has announced that the Samsung A877 Impression is now available for sale. The A877 has an impressive 3.2″ touchscreen AMOLED, a QWERTY slide-keyboard. With a brilliant display, a solid multimedia feature set, and a spacious keyboard, it offers just about everything you’d want from a messaging handset.
Although, the device is a bit heavier and bigger at 4.48 inches long by 2.28 inches wide by 0.61 inch deep and weight of 5.3 ounces, it comes with a sturdy, ergonomic feel in the hand.
It comes with some basic features which include a vibrate mode, an alarm clock, a calendar, a task list, a memo pad, a calculator, a world clock, a timer, a currency and unit converter, a speaker phone and a stopwatch. You’ll also find a voice recorder, stereo Bluetooth, PC syncing, USB mass storage, a file manager, and GPS with support for AT&T Navigator. Voice dialing is a disappointing omission.
As a 3G (UMTS) phone, the Impression offers the full set of AT&T’s wireless broadband multimedia services. You’ll find Cellular Video (streaming-video content) and AT&T Mobile Music (wireless song downloads through partners). The experience with the two applications is similar to that on other AT&T phones; both are minimalist in their designs, but the music player supports a wide variety of file formats (MP3, AAC, eAAC+, and WMA) and it offers useful features, such as album art, play lists, shuffle and repeat modes, and an airplane mode.
