All of those people who were hoping to get their hot little hands on the Samsung Eternity A867 on November 4, 2008, were greatly disappointed as AT&T could not deliver the new handset on that date. As soon as their shipment arrives, the Samsung Eternity will be sold. If you want to purchase the Samsung Eternity A867 for the features it has, it will be well worth the wait. The features of this cell phone include the following:

You’ll also be able to get the handset on the AT&T carrier. It’s going to cost you $99, but it will first cost you $149 and then you’ll get a $50 mail-in rebate. This cell phone will customize with widgets that are specially designed, and the handset itself has a touchscreen that’s 3.2 inches wide, with haptic support. The phone also gives you subtle vibrations that confirm the selections you’ve made. It does have one drawback, and that is that its chrome and black exterior will show fingerprints and other smudges.

First impressions of the Samsung Eternity A867 Plus? When you first look at it, the Samsung Eternity A867 Plus looks really nice and clean, with the back of the phone having a “brushed metal” texture. However, it’s not really brushed metal, but a plastic cover. The camera that’s included does not have a flash or portrait meter, which may be disappointing to you. It does have a 3.5 mm headphone jack, so you can definitely listen to your music.

Another fantastic feature of the Samsung Eternity is the Touch Wiz UI. It seems that right now, the phone is lacking in widgets but Samsung is supposed to release more of these in the fall. The easy access Sound Profiles widget is there with a calculator and a Sound Profiles widget for Bluetooth. This Bluetooth menu is very simple to use. The regular menu contains the following: YellowPages, My Stuff, Messaging, AT&T GPS, Address Book, and more.

Messaging and keyboarding You can use most messaging services, including AIM, Yahoo!, MMS, SMS, IM, and MSN. The nice, roomy keyboard has the T9 feature, but it’s not very accurate. It does have a regular number pad on the phone or handwriting recognition and you can also taxed with it.

Is it worth it? The Samsung Eternity A867 Plus is most definitely a great option for those who want the latest entertainment and full options for touch technology, with sleek and stylish sophistication. If you want not just immediate access to the Internet but also the very latest in entertainment, you’re going to like the top 3G/HSDPA device. The cell phone has an accelerometer on board and a keyboard that’s a full touch QWERTY setup; it has vibration responsiveness and a 3.2-inch display that’s very crisp and makes web surfing almost as much fun as doing it on your traditional laptop or desktop — away from home and with something that slips into your pocket. Once you’ve tried it, you’ll definitely like this handset.
