Samsung - A640 Cell Phone Review Summary

Cell phones have greatly improved freedom of communication, but some of them are loaded with so many features that their price is inflated to levels beyond the reach of some consumers. One cell phone that breaks this rule is the Samsung A640 Cell Phone, and the value of this phone is one of the many reasons reviewers sing its praises. There are other positive points with the Samsung A640 Cell Phone, too, like the durability of the phone, the easy to navigate menus, and the inclusion of a camera. But there are a few bad points with the Samsung A640 Cell Phone, like issues with sound quality and the limited abilities of the camera. “Overall This Product is Satisfying”, says one reviewer, and there are enough positive points to make the Samsung A640 Cell Phone a good choice among Cell Phones and definitely worth the money.

  The A-640 phone is everything a simple person like me needs in a phone.. It's durable, attractive, and has all the gadgets I might or might not ever use easily accessable and easy to understand.  

   I love this phone..... It's VERY durable, meaning I drop my phone several times a week, (in...

After using this phone for about 2 years now, I've come to really hate it. The functions on it (eg: alarm or calendar) are not easy to find. My biggest problem though is the fact that this phone has called people from my recently called list -- without my knowing it!! And sometimes when people call and... read full review »

Well my review of this phone is less than happy.  I did at first believe that this phone was good considering it was free.  I dropped mine in the wash machine and it did work afterwards, the image was completely backwards, but I was able to make it work.  I have been a little hard on my phone to say the least, but my husband who also has this phone has used it very little.  He has experienced problems with connecting our bluetooth to his phone, it worked once and never again.  We are both expriencing the same major problem with the phone.  The plastic that covers the left pivit point of...

I bought this phone as an absolute must to replacing a 4 year old cell phone and was only really worried about reception and being user friendly.  I needed a reliable phone that I would want to keep another 4 years.
This phone had all I needed and more.  It's not so small that I can lose it in my purse easily, but small enough that it's not a hassle to carry it just about anywhere.  Searching through the phone is simple, and completing commands is a breeze.
3 alarms, some decent pre-loaded backgrounds.
Not so great default ringers.
I find myself frequently hitting the side camera button by accident....

The Samsung A640 is a great little flip phone with a long lasting battery. It will stay on standby for several days. The picture capabilities leaves something to desire. Takes pics just fine unless you want to enlarge them and they become totally distorted. If you like making your own ringtones and downloading them to your phone, forget this phone. I will not let you even look at the address book. They sell data cables for this phone but they are only good for using the phone for a modem and charging the phone. If I had it to do all over again knowing what I now know, I would have pick a much better... read full review »

I would recommend this phone to anyone because it is great.  It has excellent service and does not lose signal with anyone.  When you take pictures with the camera they are great.  The service that you get from Sprint is also great.  This phone is technology friendly so anyone who is looking for a great cell phone should consider this one.

The Samsung A640 is a must have for bargain-hunting, quality-loving people.  Though the screen freezes every once in a while, overall the cell phone has few problems.  The sound for the audio is very satisfactory and the camera is considerably nice for an inexpensive mobile phone.  I would definately recommend this cell phone to anyone.

I hate this phone.  It freezes up,  the calls drop and/or are choppy.  The readylink feature sucks.  The camera has no zoom or flash and the pictures are of poor quality.  I would by no means recomend this phone to anyone.  The screen is tiny and hard to see.

Great phone, Nice sixe , not too small, feels good in hand. I own 2, my daughter is ruff on hers, but it still works. She broke a pin on flipped open phone that allow the external display to come on and she has broken the antenna. Still works. Charges fast. Sprint Service is good.
