AT&T Service
This AT&T phone can handle high-speed data connectivity via AT&T's 3G mobile broadband data network, which is available in most major metropolitan areas. The AT&T 3G network uses the dual-band UMTS 850/1900 MHz network, which provides download speeds ranging from 700 Kbps to 1.7 Mbps, and upload speeds ranging from 500 Kbps to 1.2 Mbps. This makes it possible to enjoy a variety of feature-rich wireless multimedia services, and it gives you the advantage of offering simultaneous voice and data services.

In areas where the 3G network is not available, you'll continue to receive service on the AT&T EDGE network, which offers availability in more than 13,000 US cities and along some 40,000 miles of major highways. Providing average data speeds between 75-135Kbps, it's fast enough to support a wide range of advanced data services, including video and music clips, full picture and video messaging, high-speed color Internet access, and email on the go.

The service also allows you to switch the direction of the video stream during the same phone call. (Customers must be in an area served by the company's 3G network and have a Video Share-enabled phone.) A majority of users in the architecture, engineering and construction industries rated the ability to share live video through Video Share highly, according to research commissioned by AT&T. Video Share lets you see progress on a job site or review the day's work without having to drive from an office or other site to do so.

Samsung Eternity a867 Phone, Black (AT&T)

SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!!!, 2010-08-06; By: Santasha Laney(Philadelphia, PA United States)
I fell in love with this phone, until i had to replace it.. again, and again, and again... 3rd phone, one yr later :) The QWERTY keyboard sucks, and every 3 months or so it would start to quickly die on me... the first to go is the keyboard which starts tapping letters that you haven't even touched, [imagine the frustration of txting 4 letters and it taking 4 mins!] THEN, thanks to the lovely "3.2 inch vivid touchscreen" any messages, phone calls, that come through end up frozen and wont allow you to open them ..then lastly, it all together freezez up, and only leaves you with the option of "on or off" before it totally dissinegrates!!! I shake my head because i really love this phone with all its nifty options, but in the end, its not worth the trouble replacing over and over.. all i wanted to do was go back to my razor. fewer options, but at least i can send and recieve messages.

THIS PHONE IS GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!, 2010-07-28; By: Marcus L. Goodloe(Valdosta, Ga)
I bought this phone in November and I was happy about this phone! After using this phone for a few months it is a big piece of trash! I'd recommend that nobody should get this phone! I wish I would've got more info on it before I bought it! It is not touchscreen friendly. It seems like you have mash really hard to get to a lot of things on this phone!

I want to throw this phone at the wall every time I use it..., 2010-07-16; By: L. Wilson
I was so excited about getting this phone. It had a nice big screen that would be great to check e-mail with and not have to pay the $30/month data plan. I was so disappointed. I am not a big cell phone user. I'm not constantly on it. I only make a couple phone calls a week and check my email/ use the internet once in a while. I have had this phone over a year now, and it only gets worse. The camera is bad. All of the photos are blurry with no auto focus. This phone constantly locks up. It just freezes and I have to take the battery out and put it back in to get it to work. The worse part is that the call quality is terrible!! I can barely hear the person on the other end, even after tweaking the sound setting. People get annoyed that I keep asking "what?". It's been like this ever since I got it too. More than anything, I just want to throw this thing at the wall or bash it in with a hammer.

This phone stinks!, 2010-03-20; By: R. Gensman(Oklahoma)
We bought this phone about 7 months ago. It will not hold the calibration on the touch screen so texting is a very difficult manuever. It constantly is telling me I have missed calls when there are none. Over the period of time I have used it, the phone appears to be losing it's ability to find a tower and the reception is slowly diminishing. What a waste of my money! We had a Razor before this and just wanted to upgrade to a phone with a touch screen without too much money from our pocket. We really wish we had our Razors back. Don't waste your money.
