oh hey guys jon rettinger with john for lakers khamir with a review for you of the samsung eternity for eighteen t wireless so you guys have seen me unbox it you see me walk you through the keyboard and the browser on it so let me tell you a little bit about the phone itself the 3g capable phone with an HTML browser and a full on screen keyboard doesn't have any real physical keyboard buttons but it does have three navigation keys on the bottom I walk you guys through all that during the hardware overview so first off this is a phone and I always preface my phone reviews with this it's gotta sound good call quality was actually very strong sounded very clear on my end although the three or four people I tested the phone with did report the same white noise on their end so it may vary by location but at least be aware of that but call quality for the user of the phone was absolutely fantastic so I used actually use this phone for a good few weeks have to say I'd to keep increasing impressed with it the more I used it the haptic feedback is probably the best implementation of haptic feedback firstly I've ever used the vibration isn't annoying it didn't seem out of place it's not overwhelming it's very nice and subtle and really is a very good touch the on-screen keyboard I'm very vocal that I don't like on-screen keyboards even though the iphone is my primary phone and I've grown to get used to its keyboard I much prefer a heart attack tile keyboard the Samsung attorney actually has one of the best on-screen keyboards that I've ever used it really is very very intuitive and really easy to get used to a type on and that's the accelerometer built-in as you guys saw in other videos so when you turn it the keyboard does rotate to full landscape and just becomes very easy to type on I did a typing test and you guys can see so I'm not going to go too much into detail on that but just know if you're a heavy texter you will not be disappointed with the samsung eternity why the other features is that really surprising about the phone and not many phones have this outside of the iphone as a proximity sensor actually built in so one the problems with touchscreen is when you put them up to your head your ear can hit stub and end up your mom and end up calling your ex girlfriend and that's never a good thing generally so what this does soon as you put up to your head it actually turns off the screen and you pull it away turns it back on again a very nice convenience feature and something else that was very impressive about the samsung eternity another very cool thing that it does so the call quality again like I said was loud loud enough and the TV on here was very cool it's an added package that you have to pay for but it does make the phone have an extra a little bit of a WOW factor I haven't seen TV implemented very successfully in many phones but 18t and Samsung really got on the ball here the TV is clear it's crisp the sound is loud and it really is fun to watch TV on your phone I don't know how often I would do it if I own this phone and I used it as my primary device but it is kind of nice to have long ago you can watch Comedy Central a movie is a CNN some of its live content I could see on a normal television some of it is canned and it starts when you play it but it is just a really very neat feature for a non smartphone I was actually very impressed with the browser it was full HTML capable and it did render pages the way they're meant to be seen like you'd see on a computer none of this mobile web BS that i am not a fan of so if web browsing is important to you this phone will suffice it doesn't have the best web browser in the world but it is good enough for a phone of this caliber it does play youtube videos which is actually very cool if you go to youtube and you click on a video it'll launch its own YouTube player and it will play the video over 18 tease 3g signal video quality was pretty nice it wasn't anything to write home about but was good enough to watch and the external speakers were loud enough to hear what you were saying so that's all things this phone does well what it doesn't do so well is email and it doesn't really advertise itself as an email device it just has a Java applet for email which is quite unfortunate so if email is important to you I'll look at more of a smartphone as opposed to a feature phone like the samsung eternity it was weak characters weren't always rendering properly scrolling through emails was a pain I think just weren't always coming in in a prompt fashion something to keep in mind this come with a built-in I am client so you can use all your im's that are used to you're a I am msn yahoo and things like that gads of a music player which is just like any other music player on any other phone it works plays music guys overall if you're looking for a feature phone that can handle some email that can view the web has a good keyboard for texting and you want to watch TV I can wholeheartedly recommend the samsung eternity to you if you're looking for an email centric device looking for in the market for a blackberry and iphone a windows mobile device the eternity is not for you but I think that's who samsung is marketing this too so if you match the aforementioned category of looking for just a phone that can do a few cool things samsung attorneys and excellent device on a five-star scale i give it a really solid for if it could just handle email well and had maybe a little bit of a better browser this phone to be an absolute knockout highly recommended it's for sale on 18 d prices can vary by time and day let's go ahead and check AT&T website if you're interested anyway guys this is jon rettinger with john for lakers calm they
