We had brought you a post on the Samsung a877 Impression for AT&T, just a few days back (click here to view original post). The impressive Samsung Impression has a large touchscreen, solid keyboard, and a host of attractive features. Featuring a physical slider QWERTY keyboard, the Impression packs an OLED screen with 240 x 400 pixels resolution. We now bring you a three-part video of the same. Take a look and enjoy!

The Samsung Impression seems to have it all: good looks, large touch screen, solid keyboard, and a host of attractive features. If you’re the heavy messaging type and want a physical QWERTY keyboard, but still like the appeal of a touchscreen, the Impression, well, impresses… for the most part. The Impression is just the right size smartphone. The display is generous and finger friendly and the rounded design is very convenient. The three buttons on the face of the phone have good travel and feedback, but they do make some noise.

Some of the keys stand out nicely and are easy to find and use, but most are not. The slider QWERTY keyboard is comfortable to use, though the sliding mechanism isn’t all that great. The Impression has an OLED screen with 240 x 400 pixels, but the quality is a bit hazier than normal. the strength of haptics can be manipulated by the user and is better than expected. The AT&T’s connectivity on the Impression is pretty good, though. The sound quality is good and so is the vibe. The battery is passably good too, so no hassles there.

All-in-all, the Samsung Impression, though stylish in appearance and good enough in function, is nothing to particularly rave about. Check out the pics below.
