Review: Samsung Impression
All of your messaging services are in the messaging menu. SMS, IM, email, it's all in there. The first choice is to start a new SMS. Open it up, tap anywhere on the screen and the 12-key keypad pops up. You can enter text via triple-tapping or T9 if you wish. Open the phone if you want access to the QWERTY keyboard.
Composing messages is easy enough. I liked how easy it is to drop in text templates. Predictive text works both with the software numeric keypad and the full QWERTY keyboard. Emoticons are also a button away. Once you are done composing, there are three software buttons for sending, inserting a media file or accessing other options.
The email application has tons of POP3 presets already loaded in, including AOL, Yahoo, Windows Live, Bell South and your own POP3 accounts. Pick the one you use, type in your username and password, and you're all set. The email client behaves as you would expect. You can choose to remain signed in and receive notifications when emails arrive.
The story for instant messaging is pretty much the same. AIM, Windows Live and Yahoo are on board. You can set the software up so that it signs you in automatically, turn sound notifications on or off, and set up your favorite buddies.
There is a button at the bottom right of the screen that lets you access more options, such as backing up your contacts, etc.
