Samsung DoubleTime (AT&T)

The Samsung DoubleTime has two displays and a keyboard, but that isn't reason enough to buy it.

Inexpensive. Decent QWERTY keyboard.

Sluggish performance. Outdated OS. Poor camera. Secondary display is awkward to use. Limited multimedia file format support.

That 600MHz processor is growing long in the tooth as well. Though once a staple of midrange Android phones, it lags behind new devices. Though the DoubleTime benchmarked on par with other low-end Android phones, you can feel a lag in performance even...

Review: Samsung DoubleTime for AT&T

Samsung hopes the DoubleTime will coax the QMD faithful to make the leap to Android smartphones. But is that a smart decision?

Samsung DoubleTime Review by Sydney

Any time we see a smartphone with a unique form factor, it draws our attention. However, for some reason, manufacturers always seem to use these interesting and unique form factors on phones that are otherwise unimpressive and offer lackluster...

Terrific physical keyboard; good 3G speeds while testing in the Dallas area; good camera quality

Outdated version of Android; small display is uncomfortable at times; sluggish performance especially when using multiple apps and when web browsing; terrible battery life with the unit I was testing (could be a defective battery)

For the price, you would be much better off going with one of AT&T's other budget-friendly options. Honestly, the DoubleTime is not worth your consideration.

AWESOME DESIGN

the android phone in the form of a pantech impact. it works as designed, games and videos play nice, and for heavy texting teens or people that hate texting on touchscreens, something like that, i'd go for this model. At first I wasn't so crazy for it...
