Reviews of the Samsung SGH-A517 (AT&T)
-
CNET Review
The Good: The Samsung SGH-A517 has a decent feature set that includes Bluetooth, a megapixel camera, and a music player. It has impressive talk time as well.
The Bad: The Samsung SGH-A517 had unreliable call quality and the design is rather unremarkable.
The Bottom Line: The Samsung SGH-A517 has a fair set of features, but as a cell phone, it doesn't make the best calls.
