this is so nostalgic, this is the first mobile phone i saw and i was 12 and i saw my family had.looking back on this. i remember playing pacman and tetris on this
1. yes Settings->display->homescreen 2. its all about preference 3. yes Settings->profiles->edit whichever one applies (took me forever to figure this one out) go down to message alert tone and set it to a tone that has to be less than 300kb
Just upgraded and got this phone today...it looks good but doesn't have much feature. The keypad was hard to use so my fingers got tire after a while. I am a pretty small person so my fingers r not even that big. Will see in a few days how it turns out. I love to text n wished that they could have done a better job with the buttons bc its too flat...
I'm using it now. Does what it's suppose to do. Love the pink one I have. Gave my son my MotoG cos his cell has a problem. Didn't have $ to buy a brand new one yet. It's OK for now. No complaints. I don't miss my android phone. I was too much in it, too busy with its apps...I'm free now. LOL
I have this phone in my drawer! Had it before I recently purchased my Pixel. Was a good phone! It can't get a bar if it's life depended on it now. Always no bars smh. Anyway I can get better service with it now? Would be perfect to actually get it to work with bars and service.
Maybe I've just been lucky, or maybe I just don't care about having apps/features, but this phone has served me very well the past three years I've had it. Never butt dialed anyone, and never broken it. My only complaint is its small memory space. Regardless, this phone has an absolutely awesome QUERTY keyboard, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a sturdy texting phone.
The back never fell off of my phone. The problems that do bother me though, you can't zoom in when you're trying to take a picture. Also, the video quality is kind of crappy. The sound is kind of slow whenever I am watching one of my videos, and it's annoying. The phone isn't 100% bad, though. It's kid-friendly, I have to admit. But they need to make a newer and better version of this phone. I would appreciate being able to record media such as video w/ it closed. Thumbs up if you agree?
something i cant seem to find out anywhere is what are those two small openings on the front of the phone just above and to the left of the front monochrome display? they look like some kind of sensors. but for what?
@sibdancer1 it was flickering like that on the camera because well...the screen is infront of the camera causing it to flicker. Its like recording an old tube tv set on camera, you see it flicer or lines roll down on the screen
@TheCutie447 That's not the weather, it's a clock setting that shows a moon if it's night and a sun if it's day. I used this clock setting when I had an impact :)
Well 3G only means that you actually HAVE the coverage not that you necessarily have free internet. The internet is always going to be there no matter what (unless you block it on your bill) 3G just means your area is receiving the best internet coverage. Like if you were to go online with your phone it would be super fast but your still going to be paying out your butt for it regardless of your coverage. Sorry if I talk in circles hope that makes sense.
I have this phone and i am counting down the days till i get my upgrade! not the worst phone ever but not the best still very sturdy! 33 more days!!!!!!
@2024JayZ how he got the moon on the front is he went to settings and changed the external clock this is how u do tht go 2 settings then display then home screen then clock type u choose external clocks then find the clock with the moon on it then u would press save also with the calling thing i dont have to open the phone i just keep clicking the end button until it ends the call
I am having a problem transferring multimedia from my phone to the laptop, though. It worked on my regular computer, but for some reason, not on this one... and it's really starting to annoy me. I've been trying for like 45 minutes to copy videos from my phone to the PC, and it won't work on this one. I don't know why, except for the fact that it won't connect. That's my main problem. Whenever I try to connect to the PC, it won't work. Any help?
I have this phone and I don't really like a lot of things, but I love the keyboard, it's really easy to text with and it's the best I can find on any phone. So many things have broken on mine, I've had it for over a year though. The hold button is broken so I can't access the touch screen. The up volume button is also broken so I can't change the volume. The back is broken and it shuts itself off all the time. It's breaks easy, but hey, the keyboard's nice.
hey can you show me how to put a signature on this when u text people? i have this same phone but i dont know how to put a signature on it. ive looked all through the phone
@ALWAYSATHREAT Yes, I was suprised, but I went to the AT&T store, and all I had to pay was a upgrade fee and the phone itself. I still haven't got the bill yet, and I didn't notice or have someone tell me that this was 100% right. Hope this helped you!
@MsMegabox07 Mine never wants to hang up I have to open it and end the call or wait for the other person to hang up I don't like that about it Also how did he have that moon on the front of his?
okay so i want this phone. i have a matrix now (yea i know what your thinkin but i loved it) so im trying to decide on getting this phone because it looks like it operates just like my matrix. just upgraded. or maybe ill go for the pursuit..which should i get? also in this video here. did anyone else notice how dirty this damn phone is?!
I loved this phone when I had iit back in the day, it was uniquewy stylish but mostly unusable because there was a software update that ruined the signal streinght and it would flexchuate up and down, very frustrating. very fashiionable in pink.
@ixavior100 wrong about what? i didnt even mention that the calander on it is basically useless and its not asmart phone.. also they wouldnt have pawned the pantech impact off on me when my samsung blackjack broke if they didnt have so many refurbished impacts meaning they brake a lot... also mine is glitchy but ive had it for a while now...
@priinceziita91 ya all that is true only thing you can do with the contacts is set pictures, and the back peice that holds the batter comes off MAD easily like you can just put the slightest force in sliding it off and it will just fall off, also when using AIM you con't see Statuses and buddy icons.
@2024JayZ well u can put a certain pic for each contact on ur fone if thts wat u mean and i cant get internet so thats prob why i cant get pics or send them
@airplanegod hey i pretended to buy a phone off at&t last night and what i mean buy pretended is i loged into my acount and chose my phone and and said upgrade then chose the phone i wanted and i had a choice of a plan or no comitment and to me it looked like i could just buy the phone as a upgrade without buying anything as a add on is this correct?
hello friend sorry I have a problem with my phone is that the battery happens to not work and must be connected to the charger the phone all day to work I do
I used to have this phone. I kind of miss it. I would use it again over my iPhone.
this is so nostalgic, this is the first mobile phone i saw and i was 12 and i saw my family had.looking back on this. i remember playing pacman and tetris on this
One of the best I ever had, now I'm on a Fold 3. I miss the simpler times.
14 years later and I still miss this phone. Got me through many high school flings
1. yes Settings->display->homescreen
2. its all about preference
3. yes Settings->profiles->edit whichever one applies (took me forever to figure this one out) go down to message alert tone and set it to a tone that has to be less than 300kb
omg that was my very first phone. glad I have a smart phone now
Lil Crazy same here. I thought this phone was the shit though. I always wanted the blue one but I got the pink one because of it being a hand me down.
@@leeferguson-piper4841 OMG the pink one was my first too!
@@hananmaidi9049 Niceee!
I got this phone and so far its been 3 days and I love it! perfect phone to use :)
I recommend it to anyone!
Just upgraded and got this phone today...it looks good but doesn't have much feature. The keypad was hard to use so my fingers got tire after a while.

I'm using it now. Does what it's suppose to do. Love the pink one I have. Gave my son my MotoG cos his cell has a problem. Didn't have $ to buy a brand new one yet. It's OK for now. No complaints. I don't miss my android phone. I was too much in it, too busy with its apps...I'm free now. LOL
Concrete Rose Does the screen actually flash like it shows in the video
I had this cellphone! I miss phones with actual keyboards, I'm looking to add a line and get a blackberry or something with a keyboard lol.
Thank you for this VERY informative review! (: I ordered this phone a couple of days ago & it should be getting here soon.
I have this phone in my drawer! Had it before I recently purchased my Pixel. Was a good phone! It can't get a bar if it's life depended on it now. Always no bars smh.
Anyway I can get better service with it now? Would be perfect to actually get it to work with bars and service.
man i have this phone and its pretty good
Getting this phone in pink on July 5th! Very excited:)
@BEASTEYBOX when u upgraded did u have to buy a new plan or just used the plan u have
Does the touch-screen display actually flash like that? Or is it just the camera...?
Maybe I've just been lucky, or maybe I just don't care about having apps/features, but this phone has served me very well the past three years I've had it. Never butt dialed anyone, and never broken it. My only complaint is its small memory space. Regardless, this phone has an absolutely awesome QUERTY keyboard, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a sturdy texting phone.
This was my second phone back in the day.
also...can you take pictures with the front face closed...like the phone closed??
If you click the lock/unlock button, Are the touch keys still sensitive on the outside front cover?
The back never fell off of my phone.
The problems that do bother me though, you can't zoom in when you're trying to take a picture. Also, the video quality is kind of crappy. The sound is kind of slow whenever I am watching one of my videos, and it's annoying.
The phone isn't 100% bad, though. It's kid-friendly, I have to admit.
But they need to make a newer and better version of this phone. I would appreciate being able to record media such as video w/ it closed. Thumbs up if you agree?
i had my pantech impact p7000 for almost 2years and it lasted for a good while and it was a good phone i liked it
So it doesnt flicker??? thts good i am totally getting this one! And can you do a signature 4 txting??
i've had this phone for 8 monthss. & i lovee eet.
do you need to pay for internet service to have this phone?? like the iphone or the blackberry??
I wish I had one of those again, it was my first ever cellphone.
@mr5353 its because the front screen has a oled display. its like if u record tv it has the black lines when u play it back
something i cant seem to find out anywhere is what are those two small openings on the front of the phone just above and to the left of the front monochrome display? they look like some kind of sensors. but for what?
do u need to buy a data plan to use this phone? i already have messaging plan and thats all im going to be using the phone for
Should I get this phone of the nokia surge? which one has the best features?
@sibdancer1 it was flickering like that on the camera because well...the screen is infront of the camera causing it to flicker. Its like recording an old tube tv set on camera, you see it flicer or lines roll down on the screen
is this a good phone to buy
@TheCutie447
That's not the weather, it's a clock setting that shows a moon if it's night and a sun if it's day. I used this clock setting when I had an impact :)

Sorry if I talk in circles hope that makes sense.
im not sure if i should get this one or the samsung flight II
I might get this phone, is it worth it?
I have this phone and i am counting down the days till i get my upgrade! not the worst phone ever but not the best still very sturdy! 33 more days!!!!!!
As my first phone, it's everything I hoped for! Great for texting :) Definitely recommend.
This phone looks amazing!
Does this phone come in any other colors besides blue and pink cuz those are the only colors I see for this phone
I don't like how you cant hang up when you leave someone a voice message the lock comes on to quick & how do you change the sound when receive a text
I had the pink one. but my cousin broke the keyboard off of it!
i'm getting one soon... it's my first phone, and i think i'll be texting a lot.... is there any problems i should know about texting? thanks
Is this a phone that actually has good call quality??
@FuturamaFan1011 yes mobile email is part of the data plan so if you use it you will be charged if you don't have unlitd data.
This was the coolest phone of all time. Wish I could go back to using it, but now I'm locked into Verizon so the impact isn't available to me
is the the key board big and easy to type with and how big is the phone
@2024JayZ how he got the moon on the front is he went to settings and changed the external clock this is how u do tht go 2 settings then display then home screen then clock type u choose external clocks then find the clock with the moon on it then u would press save also with the calling thing i dont have to open the phone i just keep clicking the end button until it ends the call
I just got this phone today, Its great!
How did you play a song and go back to the home screen?
I am having a problem transferring multimedia from my phone to the laptop, though. It worked on my regular computer, but for some reason, not on this one... and it's really starting to annoy me.

Can you text on it without having to use the qwerty keyboard?
WOW! Great review!
the impression has better features and you can customize it more but the impact is really cute and its newer.
does it cost for mobile email?or is that up to the plan your under?
@Bluskiiz Yeah, just press the lock button on the side during the call and it should do it.
@FlamingEmbers oh then how did you put that moon on?
hey can you show me how to put a signature on this when u text people? i have this same phone but i dont know how to put a signature on it. ive looked all through the phone

@xxbritneyyxx no there's a hold button the side that locks the keys

@ALWAYSATHREAT Yes, I was suprised, but I went to the AT&T store, and all I had to pay was a upgrade fee and the phone itself. I still haven't got the bill yet, and I didn't notice or have someone tell me that this was 100% right. Hope this helped you!
