The most impressive fact about this phone is the AMOLED, (Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode), technology that's making its debut in the United States. For all those potential customers out there, this translates into the brightest and finest colored display you've ever seen on a phone before. You'll be surprised at how clearly you can see the screen in any setting including the sunny outdoors. The vibrant colors and the outstandingly clear details make the display of the Impression, its biggest USP.
Viewing your photos or videos on the 3.2 inch wide TFT touchscreen, which offers 262k color support and a resolution of 240X400 pixels, is nothing short of being a pleasure. What's more, the addition of unique features like a proximity sensor that gets the display to turn off when it's brought close to the face and the lesser power consumed by the display shows the consideration and the quality that went into the creation of this slick and smooth mobile phone.
The Impression is styled to appear like a candy bar with a full QWERTY keyboard that can be accessed by tipping the phone on its side and sliding it up. We must say that the Samsung has done a great job with the keyboard, making it spacious enough to use without the fear of typos and providing arrow keys that allow ease of navigation while accessing the various menus. If that's not to your liking, you also have the option to use the touchscreen keyboard which offers both T9 and QWERTY.
Other impressive features that stand out on using the phone are the fast 3g connection, the easy to use TouchWiz interface, the 3.0 MP camera and GPS. AT&T Impressions use a MEdiaNet browser and a 3g connection which are impressively fast. It takes around thirty seconds to load pages. The browser can display in both portrait and landscape modes, also allowing users to easily switch between the touch keyboard and the slide out QWERTY keyboard.
The 3.0 mega-pixel camera enables you to take quality photos which can be easily edited with the on-phone application, all within a few touch on the screen.
Call reception and voice quality is above par on this phone. The speaker phone facility was good enough to make myself heard and to hear the other person as well even when using it on the road and the advertised battery life of 250 hours proved an accurate estimate.
