    CNET Review

    June 11, 2009

    The Good: The Samsung SGH-A177 offers a simple design with a comfortable keyboard. Its practical feature set centers on texting.

    The Bad: The Samsung SGH-A177's call volume is low. Speakerphone quality is unimpressive.

    The Bottom Line: If you can live with its variable call quality, the Samsung SGH-A177 is a functional and easy-to-use texting phone. It's affordable and it doesn't require a contract.
