my family had two Samsung Impressions for less than 1-1/2 years (purchased new) and within one month of each other, they both stopped working properly. One screen is black, the other is a mish mash or lines. BOTH of them had the text issue;had to turn off and back on often to send and numerous keyboard issues from day one.

They are GARBAGE!!! They both look like new, taken very well care of but nothing but problems.... So I bought a cheap used one on EBAY (I've bought phones on ebay before with no problem) since we are six months away from a discount on new a t & t phones...and within one month THAT phone died. THREE PAPERWEIGHTS!!!
I've never had any other cell phone do that! You just can't use them at all. GARBAGE!!
