Amazon.com Product Description
The stylish white Samsung SGH-A637 is an affordable choice for unlocking the potential of 3G multimedia while on the go. In addition to access to AT&T Mobile Music (compatible with Napster and eMusic subscriptions), this GPS-enabled phone is compatible with the AT&T Navigator service for turn-by-turn directions as well as its Video Share service, which enables you to send video of yourself to another compatible phone while making a voice call.

Pros:
- Relatively long battery life (around a week in the standby mode)
- Solid construction
Cons:
- Very very very poor voice quality (is it the phone, or AT&T?).
- STUPID AT&T MENUS: All useful functions hidden away. The first items main menu are: IM, Yellowpages, MEdia Net (browser), MEdia Mail (e-mail), and AT&T Music, which I never use. The “Options” menu is customizable, but it takes a few hours to get it to a more or less usable state.
- The “OK” key – the largest and the most accidentally pressed launches web browser (with AT&T charging you for data use). There is no way to reprogram it!
- The phone dials 911 even then keypad is locked and some buttons pressed and hold accidentally, e.g. when the phone is in a pocket or a backpack.
- Phone prefers to connect to 3G network (instead of EDGE) when both networks are available, even if 3G signal is weaker.
Conclusion: Don’t even think of buying this phone. You’ll be wasting you time and money. Where are a lot of nice phones in the same price range (or free with AT&T subscription).

This is quite possibly the worst phone I have ever had. Lucky in a way for me was that it was free when I signed up for my service. Down side was I had to spend even more to go buy a real cell phone.
Pros: Battery lasted forever
Cons: eveything else. After about 1-2 months I was useing the phone then it just died a few times while taling to somebody then would never turn on again.

Received this phone today and I am not happy. The technical specifications provided by both AT&T and Samsung indicate that the phone is 3.4 inches long. In reality the phone is 4.4 inches long. This is not a tiny phone. Don’t be fooled.
