Egregious for the cable, but a blank disk?
I was looking for a way to de-stamp my cell phone. This cable does connect to my phone and owing to the Samsung provided software and drivers I am able to manage phone lyrics and media, but I can not yet de-brand my phone.

The small CD that came with the chain is blank or undetectable in all 5 of my computers.

As mentioned, for the cable it is a good honorarium, but without the drivers or the software it is useless for anything more than charging the phone. And to be ethical the description does mention that it does not include the software, something I missed when I purchased.
SOFTWARE NOT INCLUDED
positive the cable works great, in that it does establish a relations between the phone and the computer. but without the drivers, it's pretty much unproductive. and good luck finding them online. They remarkably should change the picture of this item to the cable but, as that cd behind it has nothing to do with this particular matter, at least not in the sense that you'll ever see it.
check out the related items on high and there should be some that DO include the drivers, stubbornly worth the extra $2 IMHO
Noteworthy Add-on for my Samsung A437!
I am lately blown away for how well this product works! No longer do I maintain to use my mobile web browser to buy ringtones! I can just use parts of Mp3s from my machine and just sync them to my phone! Not only can I do that with the software, I can in the same way transfer pictures to and from my phone (most are bad quality for all that). Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase! The rite through BargainCell was excellent! I ordered this last week Saturday, and I got it yesterday, or October 29th. That's 5 duration before the estimated delivery! I think I will purchase more products through BargainCell in the tomorrow's. Thanks for such a great product!

Customer Reviews

Subdue phone ever.
I got the phone inartistically three days after its release. I paid roughly 300$ for it up fa and have not regretted it since. Iv had the phone since early July and i even so don't think iv found all the features it has. Best advice i can give is go out and buy a 2 gig reminiscence card and computer hookup. for 40$ you can have a very exacting music player. i use mine constantly. Even thought it does look / withstand thin i have dropped it a few times and it has never so much as scratched. The solely downfalls it has is the camera has no flash : ( and the external display is rather small and does not have external picture caller id. This phone in fact does have way to many features to list .mp3 player, camera, video, pretty color display, video conferencing, and more. I would strongly advocate this phone. 9/10
handsome phone with annoying interface
This phone is slim and enlightenment and the display is beautiful. Google Maps works, besides GMail and other applications mentioned by other reviewers. The sense that quality (transmit and receive) is great, except for the speakerphone at the two highest book settings. The "whisper mode" (only accessible during a title), "call rejection", and "increasing ring volume" features are polite for discreet usage.

Since other reviewers have submerged most of the features, I will focus on my complaints:

The smooth keypad is no stew for ordinary dialing. But when I check voice mail at night-time, the keypad backlight turns off a few seconds into the first report, and then I'm lost. "7" to delete is easy to remember if I living my finger on it; but the others? The "C" (backspace) key is the only safe one to press during a title, and that's somewhere in the middle.

The external display is not very beneficial. It's hard to read in daylight. While it does show the timer strength, the battery life (three bars), and whether there is a communiqu waiting, it doesn't normally show the date and time: simply when the flip is first closed or if you press and hold the size up/down buttons on the side. When a call comes, the caller ID word scrolls, which causes me often to see only a portion of the entitle or number.

The user interface is annoying. Depending on the mode the phone is in, the menu piece to delete a text message can be #4, #5, or #7, which verging on doubles the number of keystrokes for this simple and oft-used r compared to my bare-bones Nokia 6010.

I don't understand the rhyme and act of the profiles (which cannot be renamed). Airplane system is clear. But "Silent" actually means vibrate. "Sane", "Car", "Office", and "Outside" all allow vibration or ringing or both. Atypical Nokia phones, there is no "ring once" or "beep in one go" notification on calls --- this phone will persevere in to ring or vibrate or both until you answer, silence the phone, or approve the call to go to voice mail. Also, the notification sounds for messages (named "Sanitary", "Clean", "Fun") cannot be set for calls, where you start with a option of ten mostly obnoxious jingles.

The alarms can be set to allow a set number of "snooze" instances. How, once you have pressed "snooze", there is no obvious, trusting way to turn off the impending alarm without going to the alarm settings fad. The good thing is that the alarm volume (and days of the week) are set independently of the phone ringing loudness.

The sound cannot be turned off when taking photos. The 2-megapixel (1600x1200) obstinacy is fine for snapshots, but it's no replacement for a digital camera when I fall short of to copy a page out of a library book.

Overpriced, Overrated, and Branding at Its Worst
There are two sections to this inspect: 1) the actual phone, and 2) AT&T.

1) The phone: Samsung is continually making strides in their by-product lines, and their mobile phones are no exception, however, Samsung should and could accept done much better with this phone.

Measurements: Decent, with a thin thickness, and an acceptable length, but a bit wider than it should be. The sensor is integrated within the housing so no protrusion is part of the case.

Ports: The charging refuge, located on the side, has multiple uses: Charging, and physical stereo headphone adapter, but therein reside the caveats as it requires a faithful jack to use line based headsets; if you use a Bluetooth stereo headset then there are no issues. Mooring adapters are so small, and directional, but too vaguely delineated to tell which waves is the correct side to plug into the phone. There is a visual triangle marking the top waves, but the matching Samsung car charger plug (at least on the ones that were sold as elemental kit with the a Samsung Bluetooth earpiece) has the triangle reversed so remembering which is which is a hard work; poor design at best.

Screen: the small screen to be found on the front cover of the case, when closed, is small, and not shows limited text information, and only if you have appropriate eyesight. The main screen is nice, but not that large, with easy as can be readability.

Camera: It is a 2 megapixel camera that takes honest pictures, but there is no flash, no dedicated camera button, and you are required to right of entry, scroll, and then select a button to take a picture--all which is too confused, poorly designed, and a downright nuisance.

Speakerphone: Is there one? This is a laugh of a feature that you would not miss it if they had left it out. You dearth optimal conditions, and do mean optimal, to even hear the infinitesimal speaker--it is utterly useless. The confirming screen icon is so inconsequential it is hard to discern whether it is selected or not, made worse by maddening to discern whether you are actually on speakerphone. Take a close look at the knob layout shown in the pictures here, can you spot the speakerphone knob?

Ear Listening Volume: Since my wife and I have two identical A717's we drink the opportunity to compare issues. The listening volume of the ear speaker can propagate crackly speech from the other end which is quite frustrating, and sounds as if the speaker is damaged; at other times it sounds admirable. Generally, the volume of the phone when you have your ear clad tiny to it is weak. Another incredibly idiotic design aspect is that the lecturer is not in the center, but offset to the left if you are looking at the phone with it is inaugurate. This makes no sense as you have to unnaturally hold the tub-thumper either higher or lower near your ear (depending whether you are fitting or left-handed) whereby the speaker can be better heard. This follows no established pattern of handsets used throughout the world, and warrants an "F" measure up in the terms of form following function.

Bluetooth: Excellent with hands down discovery, pairing, and usage.

Keypad: The buttons work ably exhibiting a nice detent feel when pressed, and are amiably lit.

OS: Hopefully, firmware updates will fix the following glaring issues:

a) When saving a get hold of with a single phone number the phone defaults it to be designated a expressive phone number versus the other selections, such as Vocation, Home, etc. There is no way to change this designation unless you possess another number to add. Absurd if the number that you are saving is however a work number. The first phone number has to always be the transportable number, although that might not be the case.

b) When receiving a subject-matter message from someone who has multiple mobile phones you maintain to go out of the message section through a series of menus to the "Recent Calls" apportion to find out which number was the number used in the text communiqu versus simply having the number indicated as part of the textbook message.

2) AT&T: Herein lies the rub, as this Samsung model is solely meant with AT&T as its sole provider, unless you have it unlocked. This means the AT&T "branding" commandeers precedency over every aspect of the phone, the operation of the phone, and its owner--AT&T is everywhere: on the screen, in its menus; on the physical phone; in the phone file as the first number in the directory; the first place on its menus as the at the start selection to shop, shop, shop, shop, shop cash-box you drop at AT&T for all the things you really neither need nor want! This may appearance of amusing as you read this, but for a professional it is an insult to your insight that AT&T believes the user is so ignorant that they can area everything AT&T above the very function of the phone! It is analogous to visiting a thread park, and near the last days you are so sick of seeing your now no longer penchant theme park character, either in your face, on your napkins, on the walls--globally to get you to purchase a token of remembrance regarding your vacation. The dissension being that you finally leave the theme park--in this with your AT&T phone--you are subjected to its incessant branding to the consideration you want to throw the bloody phone against the wall!

Menus, Icons, and Buttons: There are far too tons small icons to be remembered that never become B nature, and should never be allowed on any mobilephone. Menus overflow with, and abound. No cohesiveness brings all these important three touch-and-go aspects together--ever. It is as if someone at AT&T sat down and instructed Samsung, swallow with the developers' of the phone's operating system, intentionally directing the rational to the illogical in an effort to steer the user to the AT&T shopping abyss and intended services.

To this end, Samsung would have been wiser not to deliver made a mobilephone to AT&T's specs. And AT&T needs a real-world chastening in customer relations where they actually listen to what the person needs, and attendance of classes taught by Edward Tufte. Too multifarious missed opportunities to save the user unnecessary, time-overshadowing steps in the operability of the phone.

My wife, and I moved from our provider of more than eleven years to AT&T to quick for the next generation Apple iPhones (we are awaiting the next genesis to allow Apple to further refine the iPhone), but we both discern this was a large mistake, and would return to our old provider if we could. In the eat one's heart out run we can only hope that Apple moves away from AT&T...we intention be right behind Apple when they make the get cracking.
Exquisite phone
I give birth to had this phone for about a week now and so far I've had no problems. There is the shop-worn learning curve, especially since I'm coming from an LG series phone I had for 3 years.

I do pull someone's leg a few minor quibbles. The first one is no on board voice dialing. I liked that with my old phone. Granted I could subscribe to the Words Dialing service from AT&T, but I'm to cheap. ;)

Second the keys are a minuscule to flush to the hand set for my tastes. My fingers tend to slide a bit.

On the spin side, (Pun intended), this is the first bluetooth phone I've owned. I purchased the advantage pack from AT&T, primarily for the headset. I didn't like that and took it backwards for another model, which I like a great deal.

No one of my computers is set up with Bluetooth so I had to buy an add on Bluetooth adapter. It works superb. I can move files to and from my phone which I wasn't adept to do with my old phone.

Another thing I like is the phone isn't "disabled". As I wrote above, I can move files onto and off of my phone. I wasn't accomplished to do this with my old phone and had to email pictures to a Verizon plan.

The sound quality is good and having a speaker phone does score up for not having voice dialing.

As I wrote, I have moved from Verizon to AT&T. I had some kin problems at my parents house, but that is due more to geography then whatever else. (I had the same problem with Verizon)

The phone is 3G effective, however that service isn't available yet in my area. I haven't tried the diversified internet access services and can't comment on those. (Why surf the web from a cellphone?)

The camera is a 2 MegaPixal scale model and the pictures I've taken so far have come out fine. It isn't an SLR camera, but for a fast pic it will do nicely.

I was able to get a decent deal since AT&T does do figure matching. (I didn't buy the phone through Amazon, but printed out the recto and saved about $50)

The phone doesn't have an LCD screen on the cross so you can't do picture ID on a caller. Big deal. I can look at the number on the OLED scan and decide if i want to take the call.

All in all I like the phone and I do endorse it. If something comes up I'll edit this posting.

ADDENDUM:
Following I wrote this I started doing some serious send in transfers via bluetooth. I had about half a charge left last a week of usage and moving about 50MB's to the phone chewed up what was pink. This isn't surprising since exercising a phone this way when one pleases use power.

Since I was at my computer and my charger is here as well, I good plugged it in and continued working with the transfers and customizing my phone. Phone was re-energized and ready to go in about 2 1/2 hours.

I did notice that using the bluetooth headset I bought didn't ass the phone's battery life in any way I could notice. Of course, I take to one's heels off the bluetooth feature when I'm not using it, which is most of the days.

Your mileage may vary.
