"I have had my phone for about two years and it still works like it got it yesterday. The keyboard is a little small but i got used to it very quickly and im a girl who likes to have her nails done and i even texted fast with long nails. :) I do wish it came in other colors but black is fine. Phone calls come through great, able to have service almost anywhere. The texting and mobile email is great cause im usually always on the go and i like to check my email anytime i want. I have dropped my phone my times over the past two years and the phone still works great. But i did notice that lately the keys are getting worn out because of all the texting i do but that is expected after having the phone for over two years."

Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight

"This is my second AT&T pre-paid phone, succeeding my old Nokia 2650.

All the things that I was disappointed with my Nokia was made up with this phone. The display is brighter and the web pages were displayed better.

I also liked the features my Nokia didn't such as a qwerty keyboard, ability to personalize calls, camera, time and date display."

Pros: Bright display

Samsung A177 Mobile Phone

PostedDecember 16, 2010

I would recommend this to a friend!

PostedDecember 16, 2010

"The only aspect of this phone that fell short was the fact that it has no video camera. I would have liked to see a micro SD card slot on it as well, but for my phone usage that was not an absolute necessity. Overall the phone's been great. The battery life is much better than any phone I've owned previously. It's plenty competent for my basic talk and texting needs; the audio is clear and the messaging memory is substantial (150 message capacity for both the inbox and outbox). There are many features on this phone that I do not use often (such as email and IM) but it is reassuring to know that I have access to them if I need them."

Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight, easy to use, good battery life

Cons: no video camera, no micro sd card slot

"This was a great purchase! I am so impressed with the phone and its features. I am new to texting and the QWERTY keyboard makes it very simple to send text messages. I love being able to get my bank balances in just a couple of keystrokes. I even transfered money from my checking account into my savings account. I also love having access to my YAHOO! E-mail account; it's very advanced compared to the Razor I've been using for a couple of years. Although I did like the Razor, this phone is a lot nicer and offers a lot of very nice features that my old phone didn't have."

Great phone, wish it had a memory card slot.

PostedFebruary 6, 2010

"It's a great phone, nice size. Lots of great features included. I wish it had a memory card slot though as that is the only thing that holds it back. Also I purchased a cable so that I could connect to my computer and it's a shame that you can't set sound files that are larger than 300kb to be ringtones. Alarm tones? Yes, but not ringtones I'm afraid.
The speaker that's included on the phone is fantastic, so once again, it's a shame there's not a memory card slot to have the phone be a music player.
Other than those small problems, great phone. Great keypad for typing, great layout to the menu."

Leaves so so much to be desired.

PostedFebruary 11, 2011

"The speaker in my Samsung Propel broke 6 months before my contract was up, so I got this phone as a temporary back up. I bought it for the full keypad, which I need for texting, and because the interface was the most similar to the Propel that I loved so much. I am studying industrial design, so I'm extremely picky when it comes to electronics.
My first issue (strictly nit-picky) is that it has two clocks on the display. I like a simple display, I would have just an image if I could. I can't for the life of me turn either of them off.
My second issue is the sound settings. I want just a ringer but no other phone sounds, and it still makes noise whenever I send a text and take a picture. It bothers me so much I just turn all the sound off, which means no fun ring tones and lots of missed calls.
Third issue: bluetooth won't work. I have the service, I know how to do it, but the dang phone just won't connect to my computer.
Fourth: this camera is awful. As a art/design student I like having a camera on the fly, but this is pretty pathetic. Not that it matters, because I can't put the pictures on my computer anyway.
My biggest issue with the phone is the keypad. It is a QWERTY, which I absolutely need, but the keys are crummy. If I write a standard size text with no backspacing, it is likely that there will be upwards of 15 errors (and I'm a fairly accurate texter--lots of practice). The A button skips a lot, and the O button has started repeating itself, sometimes three times. I liked the flat and spaced out buttons on the Propel, where these are all set right next to each other and have a really strange shape. Not ergonomic at all. My final key pad issue is that if I push the shift button, it goes over to number, which is entirely unnecessary because the function button can do that. If I push shift it should shift. Nothing about a shift key should mean number.
I will admit that out of sheer stubbornness I have not replaced this phone. I like how it looks like a smart phone, though I don't use it as such, it's the perfect size, and it is really lightweight. The display and interface and sound is all good, and it was my cheapest qwerty option at the time. I support Samsung, and I really like the Alarms set up (the Samsung tune is the best alarm tone ever), but honestly they don't have any phones I like right now. I just want my Propel back."

Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight

Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
