Amazon.com Product Description
Joining its clamshell A717 and candybar A727 cell phone brethren, Samsung and AT&T introduce the A737 in a compact slider format. Like its predecessors, the A737 can access AT&T's dual-band HSDPA/UMTS high-speed 3G network, which makes it easy to download music purchased from AT&T Mobile Music, stream tunes from Napster and eMusic, and watch video streamed from CNN and Comedy Central via AT&T's Cellular Video. It also supports AT&T's Video Share service, which offers a one-way video stream during a mobile-to-mobile phone call. Other features include a 1.3-megapixel camera with video recording capabilities, Bluetooth connectivity with stereo music streaming, compatibility with popular instant messaging services, and MicroSD memory card expansion. 
Enjoy fast 3G multimedia streaming capabilities on the slim slider Samsung A737. | AT&T Service
This AT&T phone can handle high-speed data connectivity via AT&T's 3G mobile broadband data network, which is available in most major metropolitan areas. The AT&T 3G network uses the UMTS 850/1900 network (also known as WCDMA), making it possible to enjoy a variety of feature-rich wireless multimedia services with speeds up to 3.6 Mbps. It also gives AT&T the advantage of offering simultaneous voice and data services. In areas where the 3G network is not available, you'll continue to receive service on the AT&T EDGE network, which offers availability in more than 13,000 US cities and along some 40,000 miles of major highways. Providing average data speeds between 75-135Kbps, it's fast enough to support a wide range of advanced data services, including video and music clips, full picture and video messaging, high-speed color Internet access, and email on the go. With 3G connectivity, you'll be able to access AT&T's Video Share service, which enables you to send a live, one-way video stream to another compatible phone during a standard voice call. The service also allows you to switch the direction of the video stream during the same phone call. (Customers must be in an area served by the company's 3G network and have a Video Share-enabled phone.) It's also packed with multimedia streaming and download capabilities. AT&T's Cellular Video (CV) service features content from CNN, The Weather Channel, iFilm, Comedy Central and exclusive premium content from HBO and much more. And you get access to AT&T Mobile Music, which enables you to buy tracks while on the, access the Napster subscription music service, stream music video, discover what's playing with Music ID song-recognition software, and find out what's hot with The Buzz music news portal. (A MEdia Max subscription bundle is recommended for accessing AT&T's Internet, video, and music services.) The phone has a built-in web browser for MEdia Net downloads and mobile web browsing. AT&T's MEdia Net service enables you to receive and send emails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more. Phone Features
The A737 has a bright color TFT display that offers a 176 x 220-pixel resolution (with 262K colors). It has a 50 MB internal flash memory, and is expandable via MicroSD memory cards.

Handsfree communication is easy thanks to the integrated Bluetooth wireless connectivity (version 1.2), which includes profiles for communication headset, handsfree car kits, and object push (OPP) for sending images and virtual business cards to other Bluetooth-enabled devices. With the A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can stream your music to a pair of compatible Bluetooth stereo headphones.

In addition to voice calls, text messaging, and MMS capability, the phone also ships with a built-in email client with support for POP3, SMTP and IMAP4 protocols (as well as the ability to view attachments such as PDFs and Word documents).

 Love it! November 28, 2008
I love this phone! The media feature is awesome, even though it is limited to which email you can check. Great music player and I can listen to my music through my blue tooth. Reception is good, sound quality is good and the phone has weight which I like. The only issue I have at this point is the bottom row of keys for texting is difficult to work with large fingers and the weight of the phone is toward the top, so when the slide is open and I am texting, it feels easy to drop, if I'm not careful. But overall, I love it.
 Good features, underpowered battery November 22, 2008
The phone comes packed with useful features. It has everything that's expected of modern phones: a phone, a camera (quality not so good), an mp3 player (with good speakers), a web browser, and a few built-in applications; and supposed Cellular Video streaming and XM radio, neither of which I tried.
Unfortunately, the battery life is quite short. It would probably last three days if I did not make any calls on it, but when I start communicating, it runs out of juice by the middle of the second day, even if I disable bluetooth. Even worse is the fact that once the battery drops below 1 bar, the phone starts to signal its low battery vibrate almost every minute, and shuts down about five to fifteen minutes later. If you go out with it having one bar, you may find yourself connectionless in under an hour.
Coupled with a few additional annoyances (e.g. central button starts the browser; power cord attaches clumsily so that the phone is uncomfortable to use while it's charging; side buttons are too sensitive and always end up being pressed), this is just a decent phone, and nothing that I would particularly recommend to my friends.
great phone, easy to use November 2, 2008
I wish I had selected this one for myself. The A737 has clear menus. The indented circular, central control area lets your finger just slide easily around to all the compass points to hit your shortcuts. Good sound & picture quality, uses a standard mini SD card you can get cheaply nearly anywhere. Holds lots of mp3s. Keypad is just right size for typing, but the model is slim. This slider is easy to open and feels solidly made. My teenager has it, but I'd like to swap. Too bad he won't appreciate my phone; it's pink!
 screen cracked despite tender care, STAY AWAY; JUNK!!!! October 28, 2008
can't say ANY GOOD things about this flimsy phone. WHEN IT CRACKS ON YOU, DON'T SAY YOU WEREN'T FOREWARNED... BUY ANYTHING ELSE.
 screen durability poor August 13, 2008

Something you should be away of:
I had the phone in my pocket with a set house keys and the lcd fractured, yet it received no impact as I didn't bump or hit anything. According to the local at&t store guy that is all it takes to break... no impact required, it just needs another object in your pocket or purse to start the game of cell phone russian roulette..
Pay attention to screen quality and definitely compare phones in person before buying. At the at&t store it was easy to distinguish which phones likewise had fragile screens, so be careful about which you buy.
