Samsung Flight a797 Phone, Red (AT&T) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have owned this phone for 4 months now and not impressed with it. I had a Samsung Propel before and loved it. So when it stopped working I knew I wanted a phone similar. While yes this phone is a Samsung and a slider like the Propel it doesn't function super great.
Here are a list of pros and cons I've discovered...
Cons:
-I'm a fast texter and sometimes the phone is slow to catch up with what I'm typing-so letters might get missed
-for some reason the phone will randomly re-start itself all the time. I could be on the internet, in the middle of making a phone call, sending a text, or not even touching the phone. That irritates me a lot. I have seen other reviews where people had this problem as well.
-The phone will sometimes freeze up and the only way to fix it is to take out the battery to re-start the phone. This seems to happen if you have more than one application open on the phone
-I'm not a huge fan of touch screens and sometimes when I touch the screen it doesn't do anything.
Pros:
-the slider function
-a full keyboard with a .com short-cut button for e-mails or internet addresses
-large screen
-nice camera with 2.0 mega pixels and fun functions to tweak your photos
-a favorite contacts list on the main screen
-built in short cut for facebook and myspace
while the Samsung Flight has some cool features that my old Samsung Propel didn't have, I still don't like this phone. It looks cool, but the overall functionality of the phone kinda sucks. I wish I would have returned it, but I'm stuck with it until it decides to quit working. I suggest you go into a retail store to play around with this phone before you buy.
