At And T Samsung A167 Blue Connect Your World
We tested the Samsung A167 Blue in San Francisco using AT and T service. Keep in mind that as a dual-band (GSM 850/1900) phone, it will not work outside North America. Call quality was generally good. Voices sounded natural and the signal was free of interference, but the volume was a tad low. We could well as long as we were inside, but we had more trouble in places with a lot of background noise. AT and T has added Samsung A167 phone to its Go Phone lineup. The stylish flip design phone has been designed to supports dual-band GSM and GPRS connectivity. The messaging functionality has been enhanced for support instant messaging like Windows Live, Yahoo Messenger and AOL
The AT and T Samsung A167 Blue has a standard flip-phone design. The AT and T Samsung A167 Blue smooth lines are typical, but its royal blue color is rather unique. The compact phone measures 3.54 inches long by 1.83 inches wide by 0.78 inch thick and weighs 3.1 ounces. It fits easily in a pocket and won't weigh you down. The hinge mechanism feels sturdy, though the plastic skin won't withstand extreme environments. The AT and T Samsung A167 Blue postage-stamp-size external display is monochrome (96x96 pixels), but it shows all the needed information including the date, time battery life, signal strength, and caller ID. Yet, it won't support photo caller ID or work as a viewfinder for the camera. The lens sits just above the display. Other exterior features include a volume rocker on the left spine and a proprietary headset jack and charger port on the right spine. The combined port means that you can use only one peripheral at a time.
The AT and T Samsung A167 Blue has internal display supports 64,000 colors (160x128 pixels). Since it's relatively low-resolution, colors and graphics won't look fantastic, but the screen is bright, and the menus are intuitive. You can change the dialing font size and color, the menu font color and style, and the backlighting time. The VGA camera takes pictures in four resolutions and three quality settings. Editing options include a self-timer, four white balance settings, eight color effects, a night mode, spot metering, and three shutter sounds. The SGH-A167 does not record video. Photo quality was poor, unfortunately colors were muted and most shots were blurry. The SGH-A167 has 4MB of user accessible memory.
The AT and T Samsung A167 Blue mobile Smooth has a 200-contact phone book with room in each entry for 5 phone numbers, an e-mail address and notes. You can save callers to groups and you can pair them one of 10 polyphonic ringtones. The SIM card holds an additional 250 contacts. Other basic feature include text and multimedia messaging, a vibrate mode, an alarm clock, a calculator, a currency and unit converter, a timer, a stopwatch, a world clock, and a tip calculator. You'll also find access to instant messaging and most POP3 e-mail accounts, though they're only accessible through the tedious WAP browser. The SGH-A167 has a rated battery life of three hours talk time and 10.5 days standby time. Our tests showed a talk time of 3 hours and 2 minutes. According to FCC radiation tests, the SGH-A167 has a digital SAR of 0.452 watt per kilogram. For More details visit www.phoneandbeyond.com
