Samsung a777 Review

The Samsung SGH-A777 is a shiny, boxy slider seems like a step away from the normal Samsung Slider aesthetic. It is not nearly as smooth as, say, the Helio Mysto, and we do not even know how it as much as the angular Samsung SGH-A737, a step-down regulator on AT&T. We like the giant 4-way navigation button in the center of the phone, but the giant AT&T logo emblazoned in style is striking. Our tester was painted red, and we love the deep, sanguine color with metallic highlights. For a long time for us the days when fighting against Samsung mm, slender, producing sharp slider.

The interface design is pure AT&T, a copy of every other basic AT& T cell phone function. It is a grid-based menu icons, and these begin to look dull and dated. Plus, the lead most of the symbols simply more menus. AT&T provides music to a music menu that is not directly related to the music player. Even AT&T GPS leads to a menu, not the AT&T Navigator. The phone could devote a few more buttons. The “MP3″ button will jump to the Music menu, as it should jump right into the music. And instead of a camera button, there is a pop-up menu, application switcher, and you have to dig to activate the camera. As the boxy shell of the buttons and interface design seem very bulky, a step backwards.

Calls for the Samsung SGH-A777, sounded pretty good. The phone call is not brimming with features, but our calls sounded clear and clean. Callers reported our voice sounded good, albeit a little muffled at times. Reception was solid. We have occupied about 4-5 bars of service, and the phone was as good as any AT&T phone we were testing at the same time. Battery life was a severe disappointment. For some reason, this Samsung phone bundles with a smaller battery than the Samsung SGH-A737, though, the new mobile GPS. Although we received more than 4 hours on the A737, the A777 died spare about 15 minutes, this goal. That is, we could be in a position to one days worth of calls on this phone without recharging.

Otherwise, the address was enough fields, but he lacked synchronization and backup options. Typing all of our contacts on this phone keypad is not our idea of fun. Conference calling was easy enough, but needs to connect only a bit boring menu of three-way call. The speakerphone was adequate and easily accessible during a call. Unfortunately, it seems to be missing the phone, speech recognition, voice was so impossible.

The Samsung SGH-A777 gets the basic AT&T package for messaging options. It is a basic SMS App for SMS, MMS and multimedia. For instant messaging, the phone uses an aging client to access AIM, Yahoo and MSN. For e-mail there is a limited selection of about 10 vendors, although not include Gmail (or Exchange), so we had no luck. There are no dedicated messaging button to the right into a new SMS message to jump, so you need to create a shortcut for quick access.

The keyboard of the Samsung SGH-A777 is pretty bad, even for a slider phone. It is not just flat, flat, we can live with. The keys are textured with a groove pattern, which makes it difficult to really feel, without looking back. The key seemed to melt under our fingertips, and we made many mistakes, even simple dial-in phone numbers.

The Samsung SGH-A777, as you might expect to get from now is the standard suite thrown by AT&T multimedia applications, without frills or adjustments in. The basic music player exactly that: Basic. It deals with our MP3 files, although our album cover did not show up in the player window. Samsung does not include a 3.5 mm headphone jack, so we paired the phone with our Bluetooth stereo speakers instead. There are streaming options of XM radio, but the additional monthly costs make this overly attractive.

For video, you get the phone to AT&T’s mobile phone video clips. The phone uses AT&T’s fastest network available, so fast and loaded clips did not have much trouble in the playback. However, video looked blotchy and pixelated, and we have never been with the programming options on the carriers’ streaming service has been enthusiastic.

Given this phone GPS is the most important advantage compared to the Samsung SGH-A737, apart from the $ 80 price premium at launch, we were pleased to find great GPS performance. The phone found us very quickly in our initial search, only a minute or two to first fix. Then took out tunnels or other trouble spots of the phone significantly less than a minute to fix our back. Adaptation of our transport route for errors and also last for long. We would like to see more views and options available in AT&T Navigator software, but the Samsung SGH-A777 addresses the turn-by-turn navigation app beautiful, perhaps, justify the upgrade of its little siblings.

A 1.3-megapixel camera starts seems less and less these days, but even at this size the images of Samsung SGH-A777 had a lot of vision problems. Details were vague, and the photos lacked sharp everywhere. The camera seems Deep Blues against, such as lakes and the blue sky had plenty of punch. But it could not deliver on our panoramic trials, and our high-detail photographs were disappointing.

The Web browser on the Samsung SGH-A777 was complicated by a few pages of churn, but things were usually blurry or pixelated at the end. Our own home was in relation to the layout okay but our side were masthead graphic and blocky. Worse still navigate pages was very, very slowly, and there was no way to speed up the scroll crawl. The phone is very fast, loaded with AT&T’s 3.6 Mbps HSDPA network, and the pages in seconds. Nevertheless, the end result was adequate, but nothing worth recommending to the unit.
