I have my phone three monthes. It has been great but I have noticed the past few weeks the touch screen wasn’t acting right. Tonight while i was texting my sister the touch screen completly quit. It doesn’t work at all. The only thing I can do is use the key pad to make phone calls. I can acess my messages, apps, contact book or anything. so beware.

Ive had this phone for a few weeks now and my only problem is the lack of flash and wifi. “no att phones that arent more expensive smartphones have wifi though and wifi isnt as big of a deal if your required to pay 30 for a data plan” other then that the freezing problem is easily avoided if your not a packrat who saves all your texts. saving 30-50 or more texts is the cause of any freezing or locking up. delete messages and youll never have a problem. also you can access texts and email while talking on the phone by hitting one of the buttons on the side above the volume button. Im posting this from my impression right now. it really is a great phone, one of the best phones not concidered a smartphone. (smartphones require the 30 data which is the same internet you get for 10 on the impression and it isnt mandatory which is also a plus) o and the xenon is way to small for texting even with my small hands so unless you are young or have very tiny fingers xenons smaller keyboard will be a nightmare

My gripe is the way texts are displayed. You can not see aything but the incoming txt. You have to go out of inbox and back to outbox and back and forth to recall the conversation. Am I doing something wrong? Oh yeah, the rebooting is annoying, and I think if most of us gripe to ATT about it, maybe it will get fixxed. Other than those, I love the phone.

I love the phone despite all the texting problems but for some reason my touch screen calibration is so far off that I can’t even go to the menu or contacts. Therefore, I can’t recalibrate it and my phone is pretty much useless…any suggestions? thanks

I love this phone. Yes I need to reboot it at times because it won’t let me text but big deal. Takes a minute. My daughter has the Xenon and likes mine a lot better. No complaints at all

things i hate about the impression
1. battery life sucks!!!!!
2. randomly decides not to send texts (have to reboot like 3 times a day)
3. No good apps

I have had the Impression for about around a year (got it when it first came out). Have never had a single problem with it; no freezes or reboots. It is pretty sturdy; I’ve dropped it a few times and it never missed a beat. The battery life is acceptable for talking and texting but surfing the internet will drain it quickly. Easy to transfer music and ringtones from my PC to the phone. If you want to make your own ringtones I don’t recommend “Make-UR-Tones” because it makes no sense to pay for an app like that when there are plenty of free apps that I can use to take a snippet from an mp3 song and use it as a ringtone.

Things I wish were better:

1. Better battery life when surfing
2. Better browser than MediaNet (You can use Opera Mini but it is a pain having to constantly allow “Network Access”).
3. Screen lock button. I don’t care for the screen lock button but it’s actually easier to use since adding a phone cover as the cover “guides” your finger or thumb directly to it.
4. Wish there were more apps for the phone. I haven’t found any really useful ones.
5. Wish it had WiFi
