Product Description

The moderately priced "Mythic" (Model #SGH-A897) follows Samsung’s “Eternity” with Live MediaFLO TV, but adds a higher resolution LCD with resistive touch screen, haptic feedback, and 3G data capability. Multiple home screens can be customized through the Touchwiz UI. A user selects “Widgets,”or apps, from a menu located on the left side of the screen, drags and drops them on any one of three home screens for one touch access to personal social networks or other favorites. Other features that carried over include: video share, memory expansion capability (increased to 32GB w/microSD card), GPS navigation, and stereo audio via Bluetooth™ or the 3.5 mm headphone port. There is a virtual QWERTY keyboard as well as a 3.2 MP auto-focus camera for taking pix and recording or streaming video. The USB port is employed for recharging and data transfer. There is push & PoP3 email, and WAP web browsing capability.
