Amazon.com Product Description
Joining its clamshell A717 and candybar A727 cell phone brethren, Samsung and AT&T introduce the A737 in a compact slider format. Like its predecessors, the A737 can access AT&T's dual-band HSDPA/UMTS high-speed 3G network, which makes it easy to download music purchased from AT&T Mobile Music, stream tunes from Napster and eMusic, and watch video streamed from CNN and Comedy Central via AT&T's Cellular Video. It also supports AT&T's Video Share service, which offers a one-way video stream during a mobile-to-mobile phone call. Other features include a 1.3-megapixel camera with video recording capabilities, Bluetooth connectivity with stereo music streaming, compatibility with popular instant messaging services, and MicroSD memory card expansion. 
Enjoy fast 3G multimedia streaming capabilities on the slim slider Samsung A737. | AT&T Service
This AT&T phone can handle high-speed data connectivity via AT&T's 3G mobile broadband data network, which is available in most major metropolitan areas. The AT&T 3G network uses the UMTS 850/1900 network (also known as WCDMA), making it possible to enjoy a variety of feature-rich wireless multimedia services with speeds up to 3.6 Mbps. It also gives AT&T the advantage of offering simultaneous voice and data services. In areas where the 3G network is not available, you'll continue to receive service on the AT&T EDGE network, which offers availability in more than 13,000 US cities and along some 40,000 miles of major highways. Providing average data speeds between 75-135Kbps, it's fast enough to support a wide range of advanced data services, including video and music clips, full picture and video messaging, high-speed color Internet access, and email on the go. With 3G connectivity, you'll be able to access AT&T's Video Share service, which enables you to send a live, one-way video stream to another compatible phone during a standard voice call. The service also allows you to switch the direction of the video stream during the same phone call. (Customers must be in an area served by the company's 3G network and have a Video Share-enabled phone.) It's also packed with multimedia streaming and download capabilities. AT&T's Cellular Video (CV) service features content from CNN, The Weather Channel, iFilm, Comedy Central and exclusive premium content from HBO and much more. And you get access to AT&T Mobile Music, which enables you to buy tracks while on the, access the Napster subscription music service, stream music video, discover what's playing with Music ID song-recognition software, and find out what's hot with The Buzz music news portal. (A MEdia Max subscription bundle is recommended for accessing AT&T's Internet, video, and music services.) The phone has a built-in web browser for MEdia Net downloads and mobile web browsing. AT&T's MEdia Net service enables you to receive and send emails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more. Phone Features
The A737 has a bright color TFT display that offers a 176 x 220-pixel resolution (with 262K colors). It has a 50 MB internal flash memory, and is expandable via MicroSD memory cards. The 1.3-megapixel camera can capture images up to 1280 x 1024 pixels, and it also offers a 2.6x digital zoom, multi-shot capability, and self-timer. You can also capture video clips up to 1 hour in length at 15 fps (frames per second). The integrated digital audio player is compatible with MP3, WMA, AAC and AAC+ formats. Handsfree communication is easy thanks to the integrated Bluetooth wireless connectivity (version 1.2), which includes profiles for communication headset, handsfree car kits, and object push (OPP) for sending images and virtual business cards to other Bluetooth-enabled devices. With the A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can stream your music to a pair of compatible Bluetooth stereo headphones. You can connect your laptop (either via Bluetooth or wired USB) and enjoy dial-up networking--surf the Internet, send email, and access files from a server. In addition to voice calls, text messaging, and MMS capability, the phone also ships with a built-in email client with support for POP3, SMTP and IMAP4 protocols (as well as the ability to view attachments such as PDFs and Word documents). You can also connect via instant messaging (IM) services such as Windows Live, Yahoo!, and AOL. T9 predictive text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for entering text on handsets, is built into the unit--a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.

 screen durability poor August 13, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Something you should be away of:
I had the phone in my pocket with a set house keys and the lcd fractured, yet it received no impact as I didn't bump or hit anything. According to the local at&t store guy that is all it takes to break... no impact required, it just needs another object in your pocket or purse to start the game of cell phone russian roulette..
Pay attention to screen quality and definitely compare phones in person before buying. At the at&t store it was easy to distinguish which phones likewise had fragile screens, so be careful about which you buy.
 Solid simple phone, but no voice dialing July 23, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I need a phone with basic calling and texting features. This phone does these very well and is surely overkill for my needs, but I like it. Controls are pretty smooth, buttons work well. Menus are a little cryptic, example: 2 options on main screen: Options & Menu, but most features I use are accessible with a few button presses. The screen is quite nice, bright with good resolution. Camera has worked well, including the video recorder.
Unfortunately, I just learned that it does not have a voice dialing feature. That one missing feature means I would not purchase it today due to the new law in Washington (California too) requiring headsets while driving. The other negative is that Samsung's Outlook synchronization software does not allow filtering by category. So, if you sync with Outlook you will get every contact you have with no way to mark those you want on your 'phone'.
 Good so far July 18, 2008

Just got this phone last week for $30 from At&T store. I never had a slider phone and didn't think I would like it. But I was tired of always getting clamshell phones and thought I would make a change. The phone feels very solid in my hard, it has some weight on it to make it feel non-cheap. I got the red color phone (unlike the orange or the lime) the back is also red, which matches the frame. I haven't make that many calls on it yet but from what I've experienced, the quality is alright, I won't complain. The 3G connection seems to be worse then when it is on Edge, but you can always turn off 3G. The features on the phone is very nice, it's nothing that fancy, but everything that a person would need. I like the bluetooth connectivity which helps me to get pictures onto the phone, and out with my macbook. I also bought bluetooth headset which will come ion handy as this phone does not have earphone jack. The phone does get hot after about 10 min of talking, so for longer calls I would suggest getting a bluetooth headset. I also like the feature where you can customize short cuts for stuff you use the most like addressbook, sound and disply, wallpaper, calendar, camera. I find it very convinient to just go to the shortcut menu and get the stuff I want instead of going through the long way and clicking on 5 different submenues. Most of the time I don't even need to slide the phone out at all. The only time you need to slide it out is if you want to punch in numbers to call, or if you are editing some entry. I bought a 2GB microSD card and it fits right in, so no problem there. The phone itself has 40 or 50 MB of internal storage which is a lot, for putting on some walpaper or ringtones.
I also bought another one for my mom. I tink because of it's easy to use functionalities and design, she will be happy with it.
Overall I give this phone a 9/10.
 Piece of Junk! July 10, 2008

Please! Do NOT buy this phone. The slide function hits the base mouthpiece every time you use it. The plastic base mouthpiece covering broke off my phone after only 2.5 months! And this was with gentle, infrequent use.
The reception is also very poor. I bought a new Pantech C-300 and the reception is double what this phone had.
Yes, I had to buy a new phone to replace the Samsung, because neither AT&T, nor Samsung would cover the repair. It was considered "cosmetic" damage. It's their design that broke off the mouthpiece!
Nice features but very sensitive to moisture July 8, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've owned this phone since Dec. 2007 and like the features but feel that is not as user friendly as my previous Sony Ericsson Phone. My phone was exposed to moisture on July 4th and now no one can hear me when I call them or they call me. It was not submerged or doused with water just exposed to moisture. Now I need a new phone.
