I have had this phone for almost two years and the one thing that I have problem with is it drops alot of calls unless samsung has gotton better at this problem with the newer phones I would not buy another samsung, and also going through a rual area where I will lose singal, I had my moms razor on me one day and I lost signal on mine where her's stayed up on bars for around a mile longer.
I've had two of these, the first being black and the second being blue. Otherwise, the other problems are rather trivial and the phone's menu setup and everything is nice. Waiting for a new Slvr to come.
Here are the two biggest problems I've encountered: 1) Durability. Otherwise, it would just die within 24 hrs. I like this phone but I'm afraid there are a few too many issues with it for me to consider a 3rd one.
Neither phone held a charge very well, at most held one for a couple days. I dropped the first one a lot and it actually lasted quite a while and only started to malfunction gradually, making the break predictable. I was super careful with the second, only dropped it a couple times and just a few days ago it snapped in half.
If you're going to get this phone, be extra careful with it and expect problems with the battery life/charger.
I know this because I am on ATT and I have verizon tower within 200 years of my house. When this happens you can kiss using a micro SD card goodbye.3.The battery compartment has too large of tolerances, letting the battery wiggle enough to cause the phone to cut off. It frequently refuses to switch to a non-carrier owned tower. Overall the design and functionality of the A707 is good. Call quality and features are good. The memory card slot requires too much insertion force, which eventually causes the latch mechanism to fail.

On an ATT tower I get one bar.
Both front and main LCD's still use glass substrate instead of plastic, which means if you every sit on the wrong way.
4 issues I have with it:1.

On verizon's - 5 bars.
But I have to reboot the phone to get it to change towers.
Crack and your buying a new phone.
Durability - not so much.
I have had this phone for a year. i can check myspace, emails and look up pictures and very basic info with google. the browser is very basic, but good enough for me. camera works great outside, inside its ok for a cell phone cam. (although my husband has same phone in black and his closes perfectly fine. i use the internet, and i can do all the basics pretty much. lots of memory, create 30 second videos and lots of good size photos. i can get maps if i need to.
text pics/videos, get pic/video texts, check fantsy teams on yahoo. good memory. only two probs with phone: sound could be louder (i dont hear very well anyway), and after 1 year of normal wear and tear, the phone closes too easily. but he hardly touches his phone).
Or put it on our credit card, then maybe they could fix it or not, those were his exact words. We bought this phone for our son, within a week the outside screen busted. We hung up and decided we will never buy anymore Samsung products. The main complaint is that samsung will not stand behind the product. We were asked to send $95.00 before they would even look at it. My niece has a nokia and they replaced hers for free and even paid all shipping. Think twice before buying this one.
