That means you will have a pretty butterfly at times whether you like it or not! This is not fixable I researched it.<br /> Call quality is horrible, battery life is (very seriously) a joke.. I charged it full and it ran out after maybe 10 minutes of looking at the menu and 4 hours idle, DEAD. Touch screen makes me want to cry and smash it with a hammer, the feedback helps a little but not much. If you're used to an iPhone or any decent smart phone this will make you cry. Very laggy and slow. Screen feels cheap.<br /><br />I bought this phone after comparing many other phones in it's price range and this one looked the best on paper. I have never ever used a phone that gave me a worse experience. I thought my blackberry curve was a headache, it's a god send compared to this phone. This phone wasn't bearable, the last thing I wanted to do was get another phone but I could not imagine using this phone for any longer than needed for my other phone to arrive. This phone is frustration in a box. Each text is received individually so you can't view conversations like you would on a smart phone. I didn't list it as a con because I didn't know if that feature was exclusive to just smart phones. the .5 was because of the 3.5mm headphone jack.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=2314 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2314&r=40699#review40699 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2314&r=40699#review40699 Sat, 21 Jul 2012 11:29:07 GMT <p><i>outlw205 submitted this review of the Samsung Mythic A897:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>My wife and I have had this phone for almost a year and mine took a dump first.

I feel compelled to write one now because I am so fed up with this phone. Both me and my wife have this phone and have the same problem: the touchscreen works about 2/3 of the time. When it doesn't forget using any of the features. The problems with the touchscreen range as follows:<br /><br />-somethime its just completely unresponsive<br />-certain buttons will be unresponsive leading you to accidently activate other functions that you never intended. Half of my icons are up by accident and now refuse to go away.<br />-buttons will be mislocated Ie. to hit something you have to aim a half an inch up and to the right<br />-its not very smart in separating when you want to drag somthing or flip a page.<br /><br />The other functions seem to work ok but it doesn't matter when the frmaework they reside is so poor. I strongly recommend not getting this phone.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=2314 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2314&r=39106#review39106 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2314&r=39106#review39106 Wed, 13 Apr 2011 20:18:26 GMT <p><i>asiantech314 submitted this review of the Samsung Mythic A897:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>its OK but it jams allot and sometimes stop working, but all in all it a good phone</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=2314 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2314&r=37635#review37635 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2314&r=37635#review37635 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 16:26:53 GMT <p><i>thatshagmagic submitted this review of the Samsung Mythic A897:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Where to begin...I got this phone about three months ago, and for the first month, i thought it was the best thing since sliced bread; however, it was at this point that I started noticing glitches and problems. The reception is very spotty...I may live in northern Mississippi(a.k.a. the country) but my mothers blackberry and fathers iphone have excellent reception and call quality, which leads me to believe its the phone. Also, the internet is painfully slow, and the phones general sluggishness is enough to make a grown man cry. The supposed "app store" is a complete joke. All the so called apps are ten dollar subscriptions that no average human has a use for, and you can throw the idea of any free apps out the window. Please, even if you have this phone and think you like it, trade it in now, its for your own good.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=2314 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2314&r=36838#review36838 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2314&r=36838#review36838 Sun, 25 Apr 2010 22:59:50 GMT <p><i>sonnysgr submitted this review of the Samsung Mythic A897:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I just got this phone just over a week a go and love it...its easy to work and I am learning it very easy...only thing is it doesn't support earthlink with ATT I would have to pay an extra $5 a month...not sure its worth it I don't check my email tha much when I'm away from my home pc when I'm out and having fun I don't want to have to check email....I am retired so I am home pretty much to check it...if some one wants to tell me something they can call or text me....other wise I love the phone and so far I don't have any trouble with battery life.<br /><br />The one think that I didn't like is that the maunel is on CD form and not a book...When I talked to Samsung they said they are doing a survey on who would prefer a book over CD and they will notify me with results.....</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=2314 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2314&r=36785#review36785 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2314&r=36785#review36785 Wed, 14 Apr 2010 18:16:12 GMT <p><i>wayne1000 submitted this review of the Samsung Mythic A897:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Having received my Mythic a week ago and doing some in depth research on the internet I have been able to customize it to my liking.

I actually switched from Verizon to ATT and am glad I did.<br /><br />The mythic is bright, small, not bulky and very stylish.<br /><br />I like that you don't have to have a $30 data plan to have this phone. Only a $10 data plan. That's cool, right there.<br /><br />The only thing I wish the mythic did, was allow you to arrange the widgets around on the main screens to where ever you wanted to use them. They are stationary. You can only remove some or add some, but not move them from screen to screen.<br /><br />Also, I wish you can just click on the widget in the sidebar and have it open up without it moving to the desktop where you will have to move it back when your done.<br /><br />Other than that. This is an awesome phone and great size virtual buttons. Very good Samsung!!!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=2314 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2314&r=36325#review36325 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2314&r=36325#review36325 Sun, 07 Feb 2010 05:32:12 GMT <p><i>ant1171984 submitted this review of the Samsung Mythic A897:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I got this phone after I damaged my eternity. I am on Mythic #2 right now. I plan to go for the "3rd times a charm" replacement. Ok first is battery life. On the eternity it would go down a bar as it depletes. This phone goes from 3 bars to the blinking "low battery" signal. Where the heck is bar #2, #1 &amp; then the low battery flash??! TWO Mythics SAME ISSUE! Next is the call quality..both phones have very poor call quality. Max volume is 7. On 5/6/7 call quality is very poor and actually "pops" almost like the speaker can't handle output effectively. The phone freezes constantly. The accelomoter lags on turning the phone. Lastly I hate that their are 2 ways to access the internt. It has 2 differnt browers. One is like the eternity's the other is the one on the main screen &amp; you can customize shortcuts &amp; etc. My issue is It will NOT save my login &amp; passwords for myspace &amp; twitter even when I check the "rember my info" button. I also changed the screen font size and hit save &amp; when I exit &amp; go back it "looses" that change as well. I am beyond pissed. I was hoping for the eternity with extra features...it may look better but it has so many software bugs &amp; glitches it's not even funny. Give it a try but I think this phone needs a major bug fix...but samsung will NEVER do that. The eternity was out for 2 years and they did not have ONE single available firmware update which is complete BS. We will see if my third mythic makes it right....if not moving on to a different device. TRYING TO LIKE THIS PHONE!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=2314 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2314&r=36292#review36292 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2314&r=36292#review36292 Tue, 02 Feb 2010 18:57:11 GMT <p><i>jr_one submitted this review of the Samsung Mythic A897:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I've owned this phone for close to two months now. Overall I am satisfied with this phone. I didn't want a smart phone as I didn't want the forced data plan. The Mythic has performed well in general use as a phone, texting, and basic web browsing device. It is a solid choice for a feature phone. In fact, its web browsers are tempting me to sign up for the regular data plan. I don't see any other ATT feature phone I would select over it.<br /><br />Pro's:<br />- Nice Screen with good resolution<br />- Solid calling interface (good options during a call - easy to mute)<br />- Speaker phone works well<br />- Voice command is surprisingly effective<br />- Two bundled browsers - ATT branded - Opera mini and Samsung browser both are effective at browsing<br />- Virtual keyboard with haptic feedback works very well on the large screen.<br />- Wide range of apps available for this phone and resolution (for a J2ME phone).<br />- Outlook contacts syncing (with some help from the Internet) made it easy to move my contacts over.<br />- Phone book is VERY detailed - I use it to keep information on family and friends<br />- Solid camera with flash<br />- No smart phone data plan required!<br /><br />Con's:<br />-Basic Calendar - limited in events, and limited recurrence options<br />-Sometimes the phone is slow to respond to touches in the browsers<br />- Some users don't like the lock screen images (they can't be changed)</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=2314 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2314&r=36191#review36191 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2314&r=36191#review36191 Thu, 21 Jan 2010 17:39:46 GMT <p><i>bigfoots submitted this review of the Samsung Mythic A897:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I read in the forums I could get an unlock code here http://www.unlockcellphonecode.com/product_info.php/code-for-unlocking-samsung-mobile-cell-phone-p-65<br />so I got the code and it worked!

Also take into consideration that I got the Mythic for free from an online retailer. My review might've been a little more harsh had I paid $150 for it.<br /><br />Pros:<br />1. Aesthetics<br />2. Build quality<br />3. Screen resolution<br />4. Camera<br />5. GUI/OS<br />6. User Friendliness<br />7. No data plan required<br /><br />Cons:<br />1. Call Quality<br />2. Widget customability<br />3. Speaker volume<br /><br />Overall:<br />I've had it for a few days and it's a great phone. Many more features than my last phone (as is usually the case), however because of that fact, also a bit more challenging to figure out. It has a gorgeous screen. Not the highest resolution out there, but pretty generous at this price point. The touch screen is pretty accurate- much better than the 1st gen iPhones.<br /><br />I don't need to be attached at the hip to the web, so I despise the required data packages for phones, so the Mythic is a nice option for a few of us. The camera is pretty good (for a phone) and includes auto focus and a flash. It also lets you change the resolution to 1920x1080 for a widescreen format that will fill the entire display if used for wallpaper. <br /><br />The call quality didn't quite stack up compared to my old LG, but it wasn't terrible. The earphone is also not as loud as the LG's, but should suffice for most people.<br /><br />Overall a great touchscreen phone. A no brainer if you snatch it up for free online, for $150 direct from AT&amp;T I'd say it's still a good phone, but may not offer enough over the free Solstice to entice bang-for-your-buck consumers.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=2314 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2314&r=35789#review35789 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2314&r=35789#review35789 Thu, 03 Dec 2009 02:19:16 GMT <p><i>tyito2000 submitted this review of the Samsung Mythic A897:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>The Mythic is one of Samsung's best technology touch phones that do not require a data plan. The differences are clear between the Mythic and Impression. The most noteable differences are the 3.5 mm jack and the mini usb interface. The size and lightness of the Mythic also make it a pleasure to use. The construction quality is solid and the call quality is excellent with AT&amp;T.<br /><br />Pros:<br /> -Light and easy to hold<br /> -Vivid higher resolution screen<br /> -Much better design of lock button<br /> -Can be virtually unlocked from home page<br /> -Three home page screens for widgets<br /> -Three screens for phone menu items<br /> -LED flash<br /> -3.2 mp camera<br /> -Customizable wallpaper<br /><br />Cons:<br /> -Widgets are not customizable<br /> -No Photo Album widget to view photos<br /> -No My Stuff widget to access personal files<br /> -Touch screen lags sometimes<br /> -Haptic touch default setting too high<br /> -Photo editor works only in portrait mode<br /> -Screensaver not customizable<br /> -Indoor camera quality is grainy<br /> -Does not sync with Outlook<br /><br />Overall, the Mythic is a very good phone. This is Samsung's first model with mini usb and 3.5 mm jack. However, lack of easy access to the photo album is a big disappointment.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=2314 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2314&r=35584#review35584 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2314&r=35584#review35584 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 16:13:57 GMT <p><i>IRBent submitted this review of the Samsung Mythic A897:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I've played with the Mythic for several hours on two different occasions at two different AT&amp;T stores. The first time I was totally unfamiliar with the Samsung Touchwiz interface and I found myself lost at times. After reading the user manual I went for a 2nd spin. I liked the interface after learning how to use it. <br />Pros:<br />Nice Touchwiz interface<br />Call quality and ease of use of extra call features<br />Easy to use messaging<br />Camera w/autofocus and flash<br />3 Customizable widget home screens<br /><br />Cons:<br />Browser<br />Occasionally lags leaving you wondering if you really pressed/touched the right area of the touchscreen.<br /><br /><br />Call quality is good. Call waiting is easy to use and the 3-way/join feature is a neat option. Messaging is easy although I think the real keyboard on the Samsung Impression is easier for text input than the virtual keyboard, at least as a first time user of both the Mythic and the Impression. The screen resolution and size is very good. The camera is adequate with it's auto focus and flash, but as expected, not a replacement for a real camera. I struggled with the web browser on both Mythic phones. I got frustrated with the factory browser and installed Opera Mini, and found it much better than the AT&amp;T version of Opera preinstalled on the phone. On numerous occasions the phone seemed to lag or totally lock up and quit taking input to the browsers. At times it even displayed an error that forced me to shut down the browser. All said and done, I love the features of the Mythic but the jury is still out on using it for web browsing. I'm Jonesing for a "REAL" full blown review from Phonescoop to see if they too find browser and lag issues or if it was just my inexperience with the interface that caused the problems I had. If the browser problems were my fault and can be corrected, I would rate the phone another .5 to 1 whole star higher.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=2314 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2314&r=35524#review35524 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2314&r=35524#review35524 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 12:12:55 GMT <p><i>attsomm submitted this review of the Samsung Mythic A897:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Just another version of the Eternity...what like number 4 in the Samsung line of cloned phones?? Still, its getting pretty close to perfect in my opinion....<br /><br />Pros: <br />Touch screen- I like how it responds like the Eternity does, they work great with acrylic nails.<br />Camera-They brought it back to 3.2, the camera was sadly lacking in the Solstice.<br />Wigits-Pretty cool and convinient, social apps are pre-programmed as wigits.<br />Keyboard-I like the full touch keyboard, I also like the emoticons that are available.<br />Expandable memory-I think it is still 8G, which is reasonable enough. <br />FloTV is back!!-Great feature! Unique. <br />Very Personable-Samsung makes their newer phones easy to customize. Make your phone scream you!<br /><br />Cons:<br />Overall I rated the phone a 5, because for what is available right now, I think this is the best pick, especially for those *cheaper* customers who chose against the $30/mo data plan (hey, I chose against it too). But there are some things that could be "enhanced", I guess you could say. Heaven knows Samsung will come out with this same phone again in 3 months, hopefully they pick up on this and add some of these features!<br /><br />Text Messaging-It could be threaded! C'mon now!<br />No ability to create Wigits easily-What if I want Tetris to be a Wigit? Haha, but I do! <br />Theme availability-The Eternity and Impression were supposed to have themes, but I see customers struggling to find good themes. They should make them more readily available. <br />Screen Saver is not customizable-When phone is in "lock" mode, it would be nice to see a pretty picture than just the blue or gray screens...<br />Overall, the biggest downfall is that the Samsung Mythic is just a cloned, spiced up version of the last 4 or so Samsung touch screen phones over the past year! Its sad to watch them struggle to get it right. Or are they playing us? Making us buy it again and again until we are completely satisfied?</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=2314 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2314&r=35518#review35518 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2314&r=35518#review35518 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 23:55:31 GMT <p><i>aaronhahn submitted this review of the Samsung Mythic A897:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I am a agent with ATT mobility, My outlook on the phone is overall good! Great replacement to the eternity which was a good phone and didnt have too many downsides. <br /><br />Pros: <br />-Haptic feedback "touch vibration makes you feel like your pushing buttons"<br />-Accelerometer "turn it sideways and qwerty keyboard shows"<br />-3.2MP camera with video recording<br />-stereo blue tooth<br />-3 home screens that are customizable with photos and widgets<br />-when you open the menu setup it's ALOT like the iphone, scroll left or right to reach your downloaded apps<br />-Comes with 3.5 mm headphone jack<br />-in box has usb data cable<br />-charger moved to mini usb port!<br />-push email capability "pop3 no corporate email"<br />-Phone just looks sleek and feels solid<br /><br />cons:<br />-only bad thing is the price and it isn't even really that bad. which is 200 after the rebate</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=2314
