Samsung SGH-A737 / Reviews

I've had this phone for over a year now - it will be 2 years in December. At first the phone was great I didn't have to charge it much at all. The battery life is decent, not amazing but it was my favorite phone.

I've been pretty careful with it around, but I dropped it once while I was standing up - a decent distance from the ground. It was perfectly fine for about a month, then all of a sudden my phone wouldn't function right.

I'm not sure if it's because I dropped the phone - I won't lie it might be because of it. But all of a sudden, when I close my phone there is no display anymore. In order for me to know whose calling me, I have to leave my phone open all the time.

I charge my phone pretty much every night and sometimes while it's charging, it will just stop. There's a certain way I have to plug it in, I've never had problems with it before which struck me as odd.

The reception is really odd most of the time. Sometimes my calls don't go through and take me to voice mail when the other person's phone is on. And my phone says there is no service, when I know there is because I have made calls before. For example, in my room I always get full service, and yet sometimes when I make calls they never go through. Also getting reception was very hard to find in places where it should be easy. It just goes haywire and tells me there is no reception. I know the whole process of getting signal to a cell phone, but it shouldn't be on and off.

But overall the phone has been great to me. but now I have to tough it out until my plan expires until I can get a new one. It's pretty bulky though. There's always a buldge when I place it in my pocket. The camera is decent, but the sound quality is pretty horrible.
