If you want to get the Samsung Eternity A867 Plus on November 4, 2008, you're out of luck; AT&T had decided that it couldn't deliver on that date as it had promised. However, as soon as the shipment gets here, it is promised that the Samsung Eternity A867 Plus will be on sale.

A 3 megapixel camera, TouchWiz UI GPS navigation via the AT&T Navigator, Full QWERTY keyword, MediaFLO, HSDPA and 3G, Auto-rotation, Bluetooth 2.0, 3.2"x400x240 TFT Resistive touchscreen, Accelerometer, Expandable Memory: MicroSD (Transflash) up to 16 G Accelerometer, 3.5mm Headphone Jack, TouchWiz UI, Expandable Memory: MicroSD (Transflash) up to 16 G Internal Memory.

200 MB of internal memory and expandable memory with MicroSD (Transflash) up to 16GB, Bluetooth 2.0, QWERTY keyboard (full), Accelerometer, Global positioning system navigation courtesy of the AT&T Navigator, 3 megapixel camera, TouchWiz UI, 3.5mm Headphone Jack, HSDPA and 3G, 3.2"x400x240 TFT Resistive touchscreen and MediaFLO.

At first glance, this cell phone looks really clean and nice. The back of the cell phone has a brushed metal feel although it is nothing but a plastic back cover. The camera does not have a portrait or flash meter, which is a bit on the disappointing side. The Samsung Eternity has a 3.5 mm headphone jack on the side so it was definitely made for music.

Samsung Eternity A867 Plus impressions At first glance, the handset itself is clean, nice, streamlined, with the back of the phone looking like it's made of "brushed metal." It's not really brushed metal and is really plastic, but it still looks nice. The camera does not have a portrait meter or flash meter, which may be a disappointment. It does come with a 3.5 mm headphone jack, meaning that you can definitely listen to music as you please.

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.

Keyboard and messaging This cell phone can use MMS, AIM, Yahoo!, SMS, IM, and MSN. It does helphave mobile e-mail, but right now, it's limited to POP3 basic providers. The T9 feature is included on the nice and roomy keyboard, but it's very inaccurate. A regular number pad is also available on the phone for handwriting recognition and texting.

The Samsung Eternity is stylishly sophisticated and is a great option for those people who crave not only a full experience in touch technology but also the latest entertainment options. The top 3G/HSDPA device is for those that not only want immediate access to the Internet but they want to receive the very latest in entertainment. This cell phone has an on-board accelerometer as well as a full touch QWERTY keypad that has vibration responsiveness along with a crisp 3.2" display that makes web surfing a pleasure. Once you have tried this cell phone, you will be hooked on it!
