Customer Reviews:

Surpassed Expectations.......2007-12-17

After reading mixed reviews about the a727, I was worried I would not enjoy my new phone any more than my last. When I received the phone, I was pleasantly surprised. Everything thing functions intuitively and looks good too. Feels very sturdy, and compact. It is spectacular.

Nice phone for 2 months, then rebooting all the time.......2007-11-12

This is my first Samsung phone ever. I have always purchased Nokia, and I have been with Cingular/AT&T from the start. I never had a problem with my Nokia phones, but I wanted this one because of its form factor - very, very thin and light.

I don't use the data/text features, but I do use the Bluetooth sometimes, and it pairs nicely with my cheap Samsung WEP170 ear bud. The camera is great, even though some pictures are blurry in low light (no flash). it does get a weaker signal than my wife's Motorola Razr V3 - she will have full signal or at least 2 bars all the time, and I sometimes lose signal altogether while sitting next to her. Hers will ring in her huge purse and inside a case, and mine will be in my cotton shirt's pocket and not work. We use the same service (and have a family plan with even the same features), so it appears to just be a weaker phone. As long as I don't get off the beaten path too far, I get decent reception.

All was well until two days ago (had the phone for exactly 2 months). I heard it make the "whooosh" noise of the AT&T splash at startup, and the phone had rebooted itself in my shirt pocket and was showing my welcome screen. I thought AT&T had done a software update, or something, so I thought nothing of it. The phone is brand new, not even scratched, so I figured it surely was something simple and nothing wrong. Then, it started rebooting during calls, dropping the person I was talking to silently, and whooshing in my ear. It has done it about 15 times since that first time (two days ago), and AT&T has no answers. It even turned off silently and stayed off one time in my pocket, making me miss calls until I realized it wasn't on. I keep the keypad locked at all times when not using it, so I know it is software-related. AT&T wants me to take it up with Samsung or they will send me a refurbished unit for my new phone (no thanks). I called Samsung, and they gave me an RMA number and an address, so I will send it to them and see what happens. Meanwhile, I have no phone to use.

I would have given it a somewhat glowing review just 3 days ago, but I can't help but wish I had my Nokia back as I sit here with no phone at all.

Great Phone.......2007-11-06

The Samsung A727 is a wonderful phone for the money. With a 2 year renewal of my contract I got the phone for $49.99. It is easy to use, extraordinarily slim, and the internet is amazingly fast.

Excellent phone.......2007-09-20

This phone is getting mixed reviews. I think whether you like it or not essentially comes down to what you look for in a phone. Someone here mentioned never getting decent signal - I can only say it must have something to do with where you spend your time. For me, I get really good signal strength in most areas, not so good signal in some others; but even with a weak signal I'm able to place and receive calls and even access email and web functionality.

The good:

This phone is just plain sexy. It's amazing that so much functionality is packed into such a tiny, sleek little package. As appearances go, this one is definitely a looker.

This phone has features I've never seen in a phone before. You can cut, copy, and paste when composing text (SMS, etc.). It has a "whisper mode", which turns up the sensitivity of the microphone so you can speak quietly and still be heard by whomever you're talking to. When you're in the browser, you can send the URL of a page you're on in an SMS message, or via Bluetooth.

Speaking of SMS, it has an outstanding T9 implementation. The dictionary is amazingly comprehensive. The way it learns words is really well done - no need to switch into multi-tap mode and then back. It does a really good job of handling weird punctuation (for example, you can easily hyphenate words without confusing it, it just goes right along with you). One of the issues I had with a previous Samsung phone's T9 was that it was very difficult to type a '1' following any word, because it would attach it as punctuation. Then when it realized you wanted a digit, it didn't have the sense to move it away from the previous word. This phone doesn't have that issue at all. Typing letters and numbers and punctuation just plain works the way you want it to. This phone has easily the best SMS features I've ever seen in any phone.

The screen is gorgeous. Not much more to say about that.

Call clarity is outstanding. I've never owned a clearer phone. It sounds every bit as clear as my land line at home. It's truly amazing.

Auto-reject! This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen on a cell phone. You can add phone numbers to your auto-reject list, and when calls come in from those numbers, the phone will ignore them and send them straight into voice mail. You can do the same for calls with unknown numbers. That feature alone is worth the price of admission. I have a couple of numbers from which I get calls where no one speaks at the other end; now that they're on my auto-reject list, I forget they exist because the phone handles them for me. It's great.

Battery life, while not exactly amazing, is really good. I use my phone a lot, and I have to charge this one every couple of days (my previous phone had to be charged at least once a day, sometimes more).

The application switcher is very nice. The phone can multi-task, and there's a handy button on the front for managing multiple tasks.

Bluetooth just plain works right. I've had no issues pairing it with my Mac and my Jawbone headset (and my Plantronics Discovery 665 before that). Transferring files from my Mac to the phone is a breeze.

You can use your own mp3's as ring tones without the need to use any sort of online ringtone uploader. Just transfer them to the phone, and as long as they're under 300k it will let you set them as your ring tone. No need to ever buy one.

The software is very stable. If you've had one of those phones (and there are many out there) that have problems locking up, rebooting unexpectedly, and just plain being a pain, you know how important this is. I've used the heck out of this phone and I have yet to see it freeze up or do anything else it shouldn't.

I'm trying to think of all the cool things this phone offers, and I'm sure I'm leaving a lot out. For the first few days of ownership, I spent a lot of time poking around in it and going "Oh wow, it does that?!?"

The bad:

Yep, the buttons are small, and it can be hard to distinguish them by feel. Lots of people complain about this, and they're not wrong. As for me, I've quickly gotten used to it, and only occasionally hit a button I don't mean to.

I'd like to be able to re-configure what the two soft buttons do on the main screen, but unfortunately there's not a way to do this.

I'd also like to re-purpose the music button on the unit, but there's no way to do that, either. Since I don't expect to ever use it I think it's sort of a wasted button. It would be nice to be able to configure it to do something else.

No GPS. If you rely on GPS in your phone, this is not the one for you - it doesn't have it.

No voice-command. You can't even voice-dial entries in your address book. Sort of disappointing, but it isn't a show-stopper for me.

The bottom line:

I've owned a lot of different phones, and I'm extremely particular about my phones (I wound up with this one because Sprint tried to replace my Samsung A900M with a RAZR, and I essentially told them what they could do with their RAZR and switched over to AT&T). This is one of the coolest phones I've ever owned, and I am very, very happy with the choice I made.

I definitely recommend this one. I plan to keep mine for a very long time, and I hope Samsung continues this line in the future. I'm partial to Samsung phones, and I think they've done a really outstanding job with this one.

Horrible Fone.......2007-09-18

I had this fone for over 2 weeks now. I gota say this fone is nothing but a piece of useless device. I had so many drop-call (very frustrating), signal strength is always 2 bars top. It is hard to travel with this fone, because signal is very weak when you are out of town. One more thing I hate about this fone is the keyboard, you have to use your nails and push real hard to get to where you want to. Enough said, I guess I do not have anything nice to tell you about this fone. Bottom line is "do not get it"

Best phone ever. .......2007-11-30

I got the phone roughly three days after its release. I paid roughly 300$ for it up front and have not regretted it since. Iv had the phone since early July and i still don't think iv found all the features it has. Best advice i can give is go out and buy a 2 gig memory card and computer hookup. for 40$ you can have a very nice music player. i use mine constantly. Even thought it does look / feel thin i have dropped it a few times and it has never so much as scratched. The only downfalls it has is the camera has no flash : ( and the external display is very small and does not have external picture caller id. This phone literally does have way to many features to list .mp3 player, camera, video, beautiful color display, video conferencing, and more. I would strongly recommend this phone. 9/10

Solid slim phone with good call quality, decent reception and great battery life.......2007-11-14

My previous phone was a Motorola Razr from Verizon. Like most cell-phones from Verizon, the Razr was loaded by Verizon's propriety buggy software that crippled an otherwise nice phone.

This phone is thin, has good call quality, has great reception and long battery life. I am especially amazed at the battery life for such a tiny phone. I am getting around 4-5 days between charges.

Unlike Verzion, Bluetooth works. You can transfer contacts, ringtones, music, pictures or video's from (or to) another cellphone, or your laptop. Very nice. I once listened to music, from my phone, using my friend's Bluetooth wireless headphone. Very cool. (Sound quality is great, but not perfect)

You can listen to MP3's. Sound quality is good. But volume adjustment provides 5-steps only. Still, not bad. You can get a 2gb micro-SD card very cheap these days. So I sold my Ipod.

You can see movies; but they have to be in 3gp format (no DivX support). It is not difficult to convert between formats. Still; this is no iPhone. So, you probably won't see a lot of movies on it. It just has the capability. Even that, I think, is amazing...

E-mail/Calendar etc. I was able to access my Google calendar, and check my e-mail. Still; this is not a phone for heavy use, as it does not have a QWERTY keyboard.

In short:

It is a great basic phone; meaning: good call quality, good reception, good battery life, easy to carry around (very thin). It is also very sturdy, and well-designed.

It has MP3, Video and Internet capability; but it is not designed for heavy use in those regards.

Bluetooth works great!

beautiful phone with annoying interface.......2007-11-01

This phone is slim and light and the display is beautiful. Google Maps works, besides GMail and other applications mentioned by other reviewers. The sound quality (transmit and receive) is great, except for the speakerphone at the two highest volume settings. The "whisper mode" (only accessible during a call), "call rejection", and "increasing ring volume" features are nice for discreet usage.

Since other reviewers have covered most of the features, I will focus on my complaints:

The smooth keypad is no problem for ordinary dialing. But when I check voice mail at night, the keypad backlight turns off a few seconds into the first message, and then I'm lost. "7" to delete is easy to remember if I keep my finger on it; but the others? The "C" (backspace) key is the only safe one to press during a call, and that's somewhere in the middle.

The external display is not very useful. It's hard to read in daylight. While it does show the signal strength, the battery life (three bars), and whether there is a message waiting, it doesn't normally show the date and time: only when the flip is first closed or if you press and hold the volume up/down buttons on the side. When a call comes, the caller ID information scrolls, which causes me often to see only a portion of the name or number.

The user interface is annoying. Depending on the mode the phone is in, the menu item to delete a text message can be #4, #5, or #7, which almost doubles the number of keystrokes for this simple and oft-used function compared to my bare-bones Nokia 6010.

I don't understand the rhyme and reason of the profiles (which cannot be renamed). Airplane mode is clear. But "Silent" actually means vibrate. "Normal", "Car", "Office", and "Outside" all allow vibration or ringing or both. Unlike Nokia phones, there is no "ring once" or "beep once" notification on calls --- this phone will continue to ring or vibrate or both until you answer, silence the phone, or allow the call to go to voice mail. Also, the notification sounds for messages (named "Pure", "Clean", "Fun") cannot be set for calls, where you start with a choice of ten mostly obnoxious jingles.

The alarms can be set to allow a set number of "snooze" instances. However, once you have pressed "snooze", there is no obvious, easy way to turn off the impending alarm without going to the alarm settings mode. The good thing is that the alarm volume (and days of the week) are set independently of the phone ringing volume.

The sound cannot be turned off when taking photos. The 2-megapixel (1600x1200) resolution is fine for snapshots, but it's no replacement for a digital camera when I want to copy a page out of a library book.

Overpriced, Overrated, and Branding at Its Worst.......2007-08-13

There are two sections to this review: 1) the actual phone, and 2) AT&T.

1) The phone: Samsung is continually making strides in their product lines, and their mobile phones are no exception, however, Samsung should and could have done much better with this phone.

Size: Decent, with a thin thickness, and an acceptable length, but a bit wider than it should be. The antenna is integrated within the housing so no protrusion is part of the case.

Ports: The charging port, located on the side, has multiple uses: Charging, and physical stereo headphone adapter, but therein reside the caveats as it requires a special jack to use line based headsets; if you use a Bluetooth stereo headset then there are no issues. Port adapters are so small, and directional, but too vaguely delineated to tell which side is the correct side to plug into the phone. There is a visual triangle marking the top side, but the matching Samsung car charger plug (at least on the ones that were sold as essential kit with the a Samsung Bluetooth earpiece) has the triangle reversed so remembering which is which is a chore; poor design at best.

Screen: the small screen located on the front cover of the case, when closed, is small, and only shows limited text information, and only if you have good eyesight. The main screen is nice, but not that large, with easy readability.

Camera: It is a 2 megapixel camera that takes good pictures, but there is no flash, no dedicated camera button, and you are required to access, scroll, and then select a button to take a picture--all which is too complicated, poorly designed, and a downright nuisance.

Speakerphone: Is there one? This is a joke of a feature that you would not miss it if they had left it out. You need optimal conditions, and do mean optimal, to even hear the tiny speaker--it is utterly useless. The confirming screen icon is so tiny it is hard to discern whether it is selected or not, made worse by trying to discern whether you are actually on speakerphone. Take a close look at the button layout shown in the pictures here, can you spot the speakerphone button?

Ear Listening Volume: Since my wife and I have two identical A717's we have the opportunity to compare issues. The listening volume of the ear speaker can produce crackly speech from the other end which is quite annoying, and sounds as if the speaker is damaged; at other times it sounds fine. Generally, the volume of the phone when you have your ear clad close to it is weak. Another incredibly idiotic design aspect is that the speaker is not in the center, but offset to the left if you are looking at the phone with it is open. This makes no sense as you have to unnaturally hold the speaker either higher or lower near your ear (depending whether you are right or left-handed) whereby the speaker can be better heard. This follows no conventional pattern of handsets used throughout the world, and warrants an "F" grade in the terms of form following function.

Bluetooth: Excellent with easy discovery, pairing, and usage.

Keypad: The buttons work well exhibiting a nice detent feel when pressed, and are well lit.

OS: Hopefully, firmware updates will fix the following glaring issues:

a) When saving a contact with a single phone number the phone defaults it to be designated a mobile phone number versus the other selections, such as Work, Home, etc. There is no way to change this designation unless you have another number to add. Absurd if the number that you are saving is only a work number. The first phone number has to always be the mobile number, although that might not be the case.

b) When receiving a text message from someone who has multiple mobile phones you have to go out of the message section through a series of menus to the "Recent Calls" section to find out which number was the number used in the text message versus simply having the number indicated as part of the text message.

2) AT&T: Herein lies the rub, as this Samsung model is solely designed with AT&T as its sole provider, unless you have it unlocked. This means the AT&T "branding" commandeers precedence over every aspect of the phone, the operation of the phone, and its user--AT&T is everywhere: on the screen, in its menus; on the physical phone; in the phone directory as the first number in the directory; the first place on its menus as the first selection to shop, shop, shop, shop, shop till you drop at AT&T for all the things you really neither need nor want! This may seem amusing as you read this, but for a professional it is an insult to your intelligence that AT&T believes the user is so ignorant that they can place everything AT&T above the very function of the phone! It is analogous to visiting a theme park, and near the last days you are so sick of seeing your now no longer favorite theme park character, either in your face, on your napkins, on the walls--everywhere to get you to purchase a token of remembrance regarding your vacation. The difference being that you finally leave the theme park--here with your AT&T phone--you are subjected to its incessant branding to the point you want to throw the bloody phone against the wall!

Menus, Icons, and Buttons: There are far too many small icons to be remembered that never become second nature, and should never be allowed on any mobilephone. Menus abound, and abound. No cohesiveness brings all these important three critical aspects together--ever. It is as if someone at AT&T sat down and instructed Samsung, along with the developers' of the phone's operating system, intentionally directing the logical to the illogical in an effort to steer the user to the AT&T shopping abyss and supposed services.

To this end, Samsung would have been wiser not to have made a mobilephone to AT&T's specs. And AT&T needs a real-world lesson in customer relations where they actually listen to what the customer needs, and attendance of classes taught by Edward Tufte. Too many missed opportunities to save the user unnecessary, time-consuming steps in the operability of the phone.

My wife, and I moved from our provider of more than eleven years to AT&T to ready for the next generation Apple iPhones (we are awaiting the next generation to allow Apple to further refine the iPhone), but we both feel this was a large mistake, and would return to our old provider if we could. In the long run we can only hope that Apple moves away from AT&T...we will be right behind Apple when they make the move.

Nice phone.......2007-07-12

I have had this phone for about a week now and so far I've had no problems. There is the usual learning curve, especially since I'm coming from an LG series phone I had for 3 years.

I do have a few minor quibbles. The first one is no on board voice dialing. I liked that with my old phone. Granted I could subscribe to the Voice Dialing service from AT&T, but I'm to cheap. ;)

Second the keys are a little to flush to the hand set for my tastes. My fingers tend to slide a bit.

On the flip side, (Pun intended), this is the first bluetooth phone I've owned. I purchased the plus pack from AT&T, primarily for the headset. I didn't like that and took it back for another model, which I like a great deal.

None of my computers is set up with Bluetooth so I had to buy an add on Bluetooth adapter. It works great. I can move files to and from my phone which I wasn't able to do with my old phone.

Another thing I like is the phone isn't "crippled". As I wrote above, I can move files onto and off of my phone. I wasn't able to do this with my old phone and had to email pictures to a Verizon account.

The sound quality is good and having a speaker phone does make up for not having voice dialing.

As I wrote, I have moved from Verizon to AT&T. I had some connection problems at my parents house, but that is due more to geography then anything else. (I had the same problem with Verizon)

The phone is 3G capable, however that service isn't available yet in my area. I haven't tried the various internet access services and can't comment on those. (Why surf the web from a cellphone?)

The camera is a 2 MegaPixal model and the pictures I've taken so far have come out fine. It isn't an SLR camera, but for a quick pic it will do nicely.

I was able to get a decent deal since AT&T does do price matching. (I didn't buy the phone through Amazon, but printed out the page and saved about $50)

The phone doesn't have an LCD screen on the cover so you can't do picture ID on a caller. Big deal. I can look at the number on the OLED screen and decide if i want to take the call.

All in all I like the phone and I do recommend it. If something comes up I'll edit this posting.

ADDENDUM:
After I wrote this I started doing some serious file transfers via bluetooth. I had about half a charge left after a week of usage and moving about 50MB's to the phone chewed up what was left. This isn't surprising since exercising a phone this way will use power.

Since I was at my computer and my charger is here as well, I just plugged it in and continued working with the transfers and customizing my phone. Phone was recharged and ready to go in about 2 1/2 hours.

I did notice that using the bluetooth headset I bought didn't bother the phone's battery life in any way I could notice. Of course, I turn off the bluetooth feature when I'm not using it, which is most of the time.

Your mileage may vary.

Product Features:

USB 2.0 (1.1 Compatible) Samsung Data Cable. This cable is thicker and has heavier duty shielding than others. (A must for USB 2.0 transfer speeds!)
Your computer can use this cable to manage the phone's Ringtones, Pictures, Video, Phonebook Entries, Calendar, Dates, Messaged, & General Files (All features do not work on all phones yet and are not guaranteed 100% with the free software, you may need to buy other software)
Item is for a cable only with free bonus CD. Please be aware that the cable is guaranteed, but the free software is not 100% guaranteed or supported other than the included help files.
Cable has charging ability enabled but some phones have USB charging disabled in them, so cable will charge phone only if your cell phone company has the phone set to do so.
* The Free/Bonus CD is included to use as you wish, it is not guaranteed to do anything specific, items on cd may or may not include working drivers, pictures, ringtones, software, extras for all phones. Not each phone has the same abilities but all use the same USB Data Cable. Also included is thousands of pictures, and ringtones.

Customer Reviews:

no instructions, no customer service, useless product.......2007-12-06

I have a SGH-A717, a phone present in their list,unless you already know everything this product is useless, the driver from their web page doesn't work, the posted info is so limited to be useless too

The discription is correct........2007-08-24

I received my cable in two days in perfect condition. Exact item for my SYNC phone (SGH-A707). Never tried the software because that is not what I was interested in. I went to Samsung website and got some software there, because the website printed on the disk is not available. Thanks for the good, accurate and speedy service.

Software not compatible for SGH-A707.......2007-08-09

The USB cable is working as I expected but the CD that comes with it doesn't have the drivers for SGH-A707. The price is A LOT cheaper than what you would get at the AT&T website even after adding shipping charges. I'm happy with it overall.
