Sporting a sleek form factor, the Magnet serves well as a basic messaging phone with a classic candy bar design. Measuring 4.2" x 2.3" x 0.4" (H x W x D), the handset is eye-catching not only because of its orange casing, but also its slim profile. Holding the phone in hand feels natural since it is thin and lightweight at 3.09 oz.

One of the major highlights of the Magnet is its strong messaging capability, by which users can access multiple email and instant messaging (IM) accounts. As mentioned, the handset comes with a full QWERTY keyboard, which offers efficient and convenient text entry. It also includes a Mobile Mail app, so users can connect to various email accounts, such as Yahoo, AOL and Windows Live.

However, users should note that the Magnet is equipped with a limited memory size of 16MB. Such capacity is fixed and cannot be expanded. Because of this, users can only store 200 messages at most on the phone. This is also why the handset lacks media playback capabilities.

On the hardware, the directional pad and the keys on the QWERTY keyboard are slightly raised for easier pressing. There are also dedicated buttons for launching an application, locking the phone or switching to vibrating mode, which greatly enhance convenience. Keys are adequately spaced but sometimes they may be hard to press.

Other features brought by the Magnet include a 2.2" display with native resolution of 176 x 220 pixels resolution, a VGA camera, a speakerphone, as well as Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity. The handset also supports GPRS and EDGE high-speed data networks.

Available in AT&T stores, Samsung Magnet a257 is an excellent choice if you are looking for a messaging phone with a full QWERTY keyboard, and most importantly, at a reasonable price tag.
