***** Samsung A157 Go Phone: Unbeatable Price – Go For This Phone

This phone is totally awesome.  It is excellent for text based internet, like Facebook.  I totally love the T9Eab function, such that I find it more useful and quicker to use once (once you get used to it).  So for, cell phones that have a keyboard, generally I feel that once you get used to T9Eab, you will never want to go back.  Additionally, as a bonus with this function, you can add words to the T9Eab vocabulary.

It does have a small screen.  That can either be a bonus or a bane.  For me, personally, it's a bonus.

The A157 is also perfect for checking one's email.  I use Gmail, and here and there during most days, I use this phone to read my email.

Be warned though, there are some features of websites that this phone can't handle, such as buying at amazon.com.  If you use Amazon, then I recommend connecting with a computer with a larger screen.  Thus, though this phone can't buy via Amazon.com, it would probably not be good enough as a computer to use Amazon's functions anyway, and that is neither plus nor negative.   The reason being, size.  If you want a small phone, that is well constructed, and has some internet function capabilities, go for this phone!

I personally use my phone as an emergency phone, usually paying just $15.  I spend $5 for internet, and roughly $9 in emergency calls.  That is unbeatable!

The one thing I feel that is actually lacking with respect to the A157, is that it can't interface with say a laptop or a desktop to be a source of internet capability.  Yet, for $20, I still feel that you really can't beat the price of this phone for the functionality of it.

Review of Samsung SGH-a107 ***** Title: Old Trusty.

I Can’t Speak More Highly of This Phone. I have tried more expensive phones, but this one is just right because I like a simple cell phone with internet capabilities. I love its almost only text browsing. That is, you will be able to view some pictures in color, but not with a great deal of clarity.

I use my SGH-a107 for text email, text news (like NPR or CNN), and as an emergency phone. Usually, I spend about $25 on it every month, but if there is a $15 card, I can get away with spending that much. A 100MB package should do it for the first month, and then with rollover, you can buy less expensive internet packages. It is almost impossible to use up 100MB on this phone, and I use my internet daily for hours on end.

Sometimes my hands are shaky, and that makes typing on one of those mini-keypads on the more expensive phones nearly impossible for me. Not only that, this phone fits in my hands well. That is, when I use other phones for hours on end, my thumbs hurt. However, with this phone, there is no pain. Once you get used to its typing features, typing a message on it is a snap! Thanks Samsung and AT&T! I have had this phone now for a few years and still love it!
